* 33.3 million unique people received one or two doses
* 205,997 unique reports filed with Yellow Card
If MHRA reporting rate is 10% for serious AE and less for non-serious then this approximates 2 million people who should be filing a Yellow Card. This equates to one AE Yellow Card worthy injury or death for every 16 people injected….
So trading the slight risk of having a virus that has a 99.9% population survival rate with taking a 1-in-16 chance of a life impacting/limiting or worse risk with unknown long term implications.
Up to March 11th (12 weeks)

The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency concludes:
The overall safety experience with both vaccines is so far as expected from the clinical trials.
Based on current experience, the expected benefits of both COVID-19 vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and its serious complications far outweigh any known side effects.
However, 9 other European countries have halted the Oxford University/AstraZeneca experimental COVID shots due to concerns about fatal blood clots.
