Sign Open Letter to Government:
"From Watchdog to Enabler?" Undertake urgent review into MHRA's approval of Covid vaccines
The Open Letter
- Steve Barclay, Secretary of State for Health & Social Care
- cc Rishi Sunak, UK Prime Minister
We, the undersigned, have had increasing concerns over the poor record of the Covid-19 vaccines for both safety and efficacy.
Many of us have signed letters to the MHRA questioning various aspects, particularly regarding the use of these products in healthy children and have received no proper replies. The official response points to the ‘world class MHRA’, who can be trusted to have fully assessed that these vaccines are ‘Safe & Effective’ before providing any authorisation.
It has therefore been a revelation to read this detailed report of the inner workings of the UK’s regulatory authority.
The shortcomings outlined in the report, following on from the recent Cumberlege Report and coupled with the close relationship between the MHRA and the pharmaceutical industry, point to the need for an urgent reappraisal of the whole system of drug regulation.
The level of adverse events from the current vaccines, also requires urgent scrutiny.
We have no confidence in the process for ensuring ongoing safety of the Covid-19 vaccines and call for an immediate pause whilst an independent safety review is undertaken.
