Government data rejection

Government ‘withholding data that may link Covid jab to excess deaths’ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/11/15/government-withholding-data-covid-jab-link-excess-deaths/ Public health watchdog has been accused of a “cover-up” Refusing to publish data that could link Covid vaccine with excess deaths UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) Argued that releasing date would lead to the “distress” of bereaved relatives (if link discovered). Risked damaging the well-being and mental health bereaved of the families and friends of people who died. Thomas Gray 1742 Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44301/ode-on-a-distant-prospect-of-eton-college And happiness too swiftly flies. Thought would destroy their paradise. No more; where ignorance is bliss, Tis folly to be wise. Letter to UKHSA and Department for Health From MPs and peers, Potentially critical data had been released to pharmaceutical companies but not public domain. Date of individuals Covid vaccine doses. Date of individuals deaths. Data should be released “on the same anonymised basis that it was shared with the pharmaceutical groups, and there seems to be no credible reason why that should not be done immediately”. UsForThem Requested UKHSA release data freedom of information UKHSA refused Information Commissioner ruled in the UKHSA’s favour https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/who-we-are/information-commissioner/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Why? Publishing the data “could lead to misinformation” that would “have an adverse impact on vaccine uptake” Risk of individuals being identified Reform UK https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/24/reform-commits-to-excess-deaths-and-vaccine-harms-inquiry/ Has committed to a public inquire into excess deaths and vaccine harms Richard Tice “We knew there was concern about excess deaths, which is why we called for an inquiry. Instead, the unelected quango UKHSA is involved in a scandalous cover-up of how and why people are dying. “This is totally unacceptable, and the Health Secretary must overrule them. If we are not prepared to learn lessons about why people are dying, what sort of society are we?” Ben Kingsley, (UsForThem) The case “reveals a desperation that this data should not, in any form, see the light of day”. “It is perverse for UKHSA to argue that this data should not be released because the public could feel distressed or angry if patterns or correlations were to be identified. “You have to ask yourself why it is that the public are considered incapable of handling this data. It reveals a patronising mindset, which also characterised the pandemic response – ‘do what we say, don’t ask any questions, we know what is best for you’.” we don’t know if the data would reveal any evidence of correlation, let alone causation, but we can see they are desperate to avoid having to answer that question in public.” Reference https://ico.org.uk/media2/migrated/decision-notices/4030099/ic-306332-x9c9.pdf Age at first dose Date of each dose of covid vaccine that they were given Date of death This request is only for adults over the age of 20 and the age information can be given in the categories used in the NIMS dataset to ensure anonymity. In order to make the dates of death anonymous please do the following. For each data of death add a value to the date randomly selected from this range (-3, -2, -1, +1, 2, 3). It will then be impossible to determine who the record relates to.” George Orwell, 1984 “Who controls the past controls the future.
