In 2020 in the uk 66'715 died from covid. In 2021 in the uk, 63'263 people died from covid, a whopping 3000 reduction in people dying...... easily attributed to the fact a massive portion of the population would have already been infected and are immune. Omg thats worth literal BILLIONS.
Although world wide figures, 1.9 million people died in 2020 and in 2021, 3.6 million people died....thats nearly DOUBLE the amount.
These figures are 0.02% of the world population dying in 2020 and 0.04% dying in 2021.
Herp derp somehow thinks thats lower....cause herp derp doesnt know the difference between 2 and 4.
you can also look at the rate of death in the uk and look that there is a constant level between 100 to 250 deaths per day from mid 2021 to now, where as you can look in 2020 and first half of 2021, where there are periods of months where the deaths are under 50 per day down to almost none. So whats the vaccine doing exactly?????? # all?
Trolls bail when you use statistics.

herp derps think a computer analyses hundreds of thousands of reports to see if something is wrong.........
What.....?????? Yeah they keep the records on a computer.....BUT PEOPLE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT and its impossible they could thoroughly examine HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ....they couldnt even just glance over them that quickly.
Hundreds of thousands of reports = ah nothing is wrong. ooooooook.
Literal thought processing levels of a zombie. I suggest going back to chewing on your pillow.
1% of the entire world population is around 90 million, around 6 million people have died so far since the pandemic started, do the #ing maths.
Oh wait, thats a touch too far. Just keep saying random stuff instead. there there.

We have created a number of independent advisory committees to provide impartial advice to ministers about the regulation of medicines and medical devices. These committees may also establish working groups to address specific problems. Members of these committees may receive a fee and claim some expenses.
Advisory Board on the Registration of Homeopathic Products

The UK reached 50,000 deaths on 23 May, just short of two months after the country’s first national lockdown. It took a further six months for the UK Covid-19 death toll to pass 75,000 on 26 November but less than a month and half for the death toll to reach 100,000 on 7 January.
There was no discernable optimal vaccine effectiveness to prevent infections among the third dose ≥ 18 years of age population since December 20, 2021 during the initial part of the Omicron variant surge in the UK. The increased SARS CoV2 cases in the vaccinated population (including the third dose) among over 18 years of age during the Omicron variant surge were associated with significant proportion of hospitalizations and deaths;
whereas the decreasing cases in the unvaccinated population were associated with decreased proportion of hospitalizations and deaths. Our data analysis identified heterogenous vaccinated (third dose, received two doses without booster) and unvaccinated populations with well-known variables that can increase the risk for hospitalizations and deaths based on ethnicity, deprivation score, and pre-existing conditions.
The vaccine effectiveness for hospitalizations and deaths should be adjusted for these variables by developing validated models to avoid bias. Despite decreasing total number of cases in the UK, there was significantly increased case fatality rate and risk of hospitalizations during the latter part of the Omicron variant surge (February 28-May 1, 2022), as shown in our study. Our study attribute this phenomenon to a significantly increased proportion of cases among ≥ 50 years of age that was associated with a significantly increased risk of hospitalizations and deaths among ≥ 75 years of age.
This underscores the importance of the public health measures directed at uniform screening protocols, and protective measures to prevent infection among elderly vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.

Protection of natural infection against reinfection wanes and may diminish within a few years. Viral immune evasion accelerates this waning.
Protection against severe reinfection remains very strong, with no evidence for waning, irrespective of variant, for over 14 months after primary infection.
Effectiveness of two doses of BNT162b2 against transmission of Delta was 31% (−3%, 61%) and 42% (14%, 69%) for ChAdOx1, similar to their effectiveness for Alpha.
BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 reduce transmission of the Delta variant from breakthrough infections in the household setting though their protection against infection is low.
because of a time lag to allow for all deaths to be registered, it will be some weeks before equivalent data becomes available for January.
omg im dealing with literal morons that dont even know left from right
We analyse the relation between covid-19 vaccinations and all-cause-mortality in N=340 Dutch municipalities (17.3M people, ~99% of population), during the entire pandemic period. We do not use covid-19-attributed mortality, mortality predictions and excess mortality, thereby bypassing the ambiguities of case-identification and mortality-modeling. Municipal demographics such as age, culture and population density are strong confounders of mortality and vaccine-uptake. We account for these by normalizing results to prepandemic year 2019, where covid was absent but demographics were highly representative for later years. Normalized to 2019, we found no correlation between municipal mortality in 2020 with vaccination uptake in 2021, which shows the effectiveness of our confounder accounting.
We could not observe a mortality-reducing effect of vaccination in Dutch municipalities after vaccination and booster campaigns. We did find a 4-sigma-significant mortality-enhancing effect during the two periods of high unexplained excess mortality.
Our results add to other recent findings of zero mRna-vaccine effectiveness on all-cause mortality, calling for more research on this topic.

This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.
Why is this moron still talking. Must just like the smell of their own bullcrap.
Preprints and early-stage research may not have been peer reviewed yet.
The findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic may have led to an additional 10,500 cases of heart attacks, strokes and other blood clot complications such as deep vein thrombosis in England and Wales in 2020 alone, although the excess risk to individuals remains small and reduces over time.
The research – involving a large team of researchers led by the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, and Edinburgh, and Swansea University – shows that people with only mild or moderate disease were also affected. The authors suggest that preventive strategies, such as giving high-risk patients medication to lower blood pressure, could help reduce cases of serious clots.
Researchers studied de-identified electronic health records across the whole population of England and Wales from January to December 2020 to compare the risk of blood clots after COVID-19 with the risk at other times. Data were accessed securely and safely via the NHS Digital Trusted Research Environment for England, and the SAIL Databank for Wales.
In the first week after a COVID-19 diagnosis, people were 21 times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke, conditions which are mainly caused by blood clots blocking arteries. This dropped to 3.9 times more likely after 4 weeks....
The data analysed was collected in 2020, before the mass vaccination rollout in the UK, and before more recent COVID-19 variants such as Delta and Omicron were widespread. The researchers are now studying data beyond 2020 to understand the effect of vaccination and the impact of newer variants.
The research is published in the journal Circulation and was supported by the BHF Data Science Centre at Health Data Research UK, the Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing COVID-19 National Core Study, Data and Connectivity National Core Study and the CONVALESCENCE study of long COVID.
We studied vascular diseases after COVID-19 diagnosis in population-wide anonymized linked English and Welsh electronic health records from January 1 to December 7, 2020. We estimated adjusted hazard ratios comparing the incidence of arterial thromboses and venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) after diagnosis of COVID-19 with the incidence in people without a COVID-19 diagnosis. We conducted subgroup analyses by COVID-19 severity, demographic characteristics, and previous history.
