Appalled by @BBCNews cheerleading for the #Pfizervaccine and complete lack of any scrutiny or rigorous analysis. Presenters have given up any pretence at journalism and morphed into #vaccine sales executives. Here are some of the questions they should be asking:
1/13

1. Do we need a #vaccine for a virus that over 99.7% of people survive?
2/13

2. Do the trials prove that #vaccines reduce serious outcomes such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths, or interrupt transmission of the virus? (not according to this BMJ article:

3. Why should we trust a #vaccine that uses completely new experimental technology that has never before been used in humans?
4/13

4. How can long-term side effects be evaluated, when the trials have only been going for a few months, compared with ten years for most #vaccines?
5/13

5. Why should we believe that this #vaccine is safe when the last vaccine which was fast tracked in a pandemic (swine flu) caused lifelong brain damage (narcolepsy) in hundreds of people, mostly children?

6. If the #COVID19 #vaccine is completely safe, why have manufacturers, distributors and everyone involved in administering the vaccine been granted immunity from prosecution?
7/13

7. The Human Medicine Regulations were recently amended by the government to allow #COVID19 vaccines to be rolled out unlicensed. Can you confirm whether the Pfizer #vaccine has been licensed? (Media headlines use words such as 'approved' and 'authorised', not licensed.)
8/13

8. Why is the #Pfizervaccine being rolled out now, when the trial isn't due to be completed until 29 January 2023? https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04368728

9. Will recipients be informed that the #Pfizervaccine uses experimental technology and hasn't been fully tested, and will consent be voluntary and free of any coercion, as per the Nuremberg Code and Article 6 of UNESCO's Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights?
10/13

10. Will recipients be informed that #COVID19 vaccines carry a risk of 'antibody dependent enhancement', ie people could develop a much more serious form of the disease on exposure to the virus than they'd have developed had they not been vaccinated? https://tinyurl.com/y672q6ct

11. Why has the MHRA recently advertised a contract worth £1.5 million for "an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software tool to process the expected high volume of #Covid19 #vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs)"? https://tinyurl.com/yx9vuelf
12/13

12. Why should we trust #vaccine safety and efficacy data produced by the company that stands to profit from the vaccine, especially when that company (Pfizer) has been fined billions of dollars in fraud settlements in the past? (eg https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/03/business/03health.html)
