Dear Anna Frances
We refer to your request where you asked:
“My request for a prompt reply please for my enquiry:
Please provide proof of the manner of Informed consent that has been and is carried
out to all the millions of UK people -ie at what point were they all shown the Yellow
cards reports -and if they were shown was that before or after the vaccines? This
revealing of adverse effects is required by law to comply legally with Informed consent.
The UK Government's COVID-19 vaccination programme is now in full swing and the
general public is being bombarded with the official line that to stop the COVID-19
pandemic and regain their freedom, people must be vaccinated. In fact they are told
they must be vaccinated twice. Of course the BBC has been one of the strongest
repeaters of the official government line, and the BBC proudly boasted on 23 March
2021 that:
Almost 28 million people in the UK have received at least one dose of a coronavirus
vaccine - part of the biggest inoculation programme the country has ever launched.
In a race against a faster-spreading variant of the virus, ministers have pinned their
hopes of easing a third national lock down on vaccinating as many adults as possible by
summer.
Reading the second BBC line, we can see this carefully crafted sentence ramps up the
fear, by warning us of "a faster-spreading variant of the virus", and drops in hope as in
"hopes of easing third national lock-down." Thus in one sentence the BBC suggests to
the mind of the reader that to stop a faster spreading variant of the virus and to regain
'normal-life' and freedoms, we must enthusiastically join the government's vaccination
programme.
Next the BBC reinforces the "you must be vaccinated" line by targeting elderly people -
those aged 70 and over - with the idea that they could die - "these groups account for
88% of deaths so far."
The UK government aims to offer a first vaccine dose to about 32 million people in nine
priority groups by 15 April.
The programme in England is now inviting those aged 50 and above to book
appointments after the first four groups - those aged 70 and over, care home residents,
healthcare workers and people required to shield - were offered a jab by mid-February.
These groups account for 88% of deaths so far.
What the BBC, and indeed all the UK mainstream media, do not tell their readers, are
the true risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccinations being offered. Perhaps we
should not be surprised because neither does the NHS, the Government, The
Department of Health, nor the government's specialist scientific advisors that comprise
the SAGE team.
This omission is extraordinary, since the NHS states quite clearly that anyone receiving
medical treatment and or medication should be able to make informed of the benefits
and risks of the medical procedure and medication offered. The NHS defines this as the
ability to make an 'Informed Choice.'
https://www.ukcolumn.org/sites/default/f... Consent Forms.001.jpeg
The COVID-19 vaccination consent form above states "Like all medicines, vaccines can
cause side effects. Most of these are mild and short term, and not everyone gets them.
Please read the product (vaccine) information for more details on the vaccine and
possible side effects by searching Coronavirus Yellow Card. You can also report
suspected side effects on the same website or by downloading [the] Yellow Card App."
With carefully crafted words, and the obvious application of behavioural psychology, the
leaflet leaves the reader with the impression that the vaccine only produces 'mild short
term effects', and it reinforces this idea by failing to even mention the long lists of
serious side effects which are listed on the MHRA Yellow Card page, but even then,
require considerable searching before the direct link to the data sheets can be found.
As the NHS guidance for 'Operational Considerations of Immunisation' states in the
second bullet in the image below: "The 'informed consent' should be recorded (this is a
required field on the Pinnacle Point of Care system). The patient should be provided
with written information about the vaccination."
https://www.ukcolumn.org/sites/default/f... Vaccine Informed Consent .001.jpeg
From the above there can be no doubt that the NHS knows and promotes that patients
should be able to make 'informed decisions' before consent to any medical intervention,
including vaccination. Yet it is very clear from those attending vaccination centres that
the staff only speak of mild side effects, and do not provide people with the MHRA
Yellow Card Adverse Effects data, even though this covers very serious effects
including anaphylaxis, clotting, strokes, heart attacks, neurological problems, blindness,
deafness and death.
To add to the NHS deception, those receiving a vaccination are only handed the
manufacturers vaccine data sheet after they have received the vaccination. Could this
be because after they have taken the vaccine very very few people read the
manufacturer's data. If they did of course they would read at least some of the serious
side effects, and most importantly would be alerted to the additional risks presented by
those who have pre-existing medical conditions and / or allergies.
"What do the public get told then?", is probably the question that comes to the reader's
mind. The answer is not a lot. The NHS has this to say:
The vaccines approved for use in the UK have met strict standards of safety, quality
and effectiveness set out by the independent Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Any coronavirus vaccine that is approved must go through all the clinical trials and
safety checks all other licensed medicines go through. The MHRA follows international
standards of safety.
Other vaccines are being developed. They will only be available on the NHS once they
have been thoroughly tested to make sure they are safe and effective.
So far, millions of people have been given a COVID-19 vaccine and reports of serious
side effects, such as allergic reactions, have been very rare. No long-term complications
have been reported.
We consider the last sentence in the paragraph above to be a deliberately misleading
lie, which many would regard as criminal, in that the reality is that a great many people
have suffered, and are suffering, very unpleasant and dangerous side effects from the
vaccine. In fact all of the adverse side effects stated in the MHRA data base. And again
we state here that those side effects include death, heart attacks, abortions, deafness,
blindness, clotting, adverse effects of the immune and nervous systems, and many
many others.
"Surely that cannot be true?" Is perhaps a likely and immediate response from many
people who have, to date, only been informed on vaccine matters by the UK
Government, NHS, BBC and other mass media and press outlets. Unfortunately it is
true, and it is the government's own data that says so. Data which is deliberately hidden
from all those who do not search for it.
Look at these links on the www.gov.uk Yellow Cards section under Covid19.
How many people even know they are there?????

Thank you for your request for information concerning how informed the UK public are
when taking the coronavirus vaccine and any possible side effects that are currently
known.
All adults who have currently been offered a coronavirus vaccine are asked to sign a
consent form that is accompanied with a fact sheet explaining what vaccine they are
receiving and what if any possible side effects are currently known.
I include links to the consent form and the information factsheets on the coronavirus
vaccine:
