With a vaccine as hurried out as this one, it is almost inevitable that rare side effects are going to show up when we vaccinate millions that wouldn't have shown up in the trials when we vaccinated thousands.
Why has the ONS produced a graph comparing COVID-19 to an apparently random group of infectious diseases that doesn't include flu or other big killers?

PHE found a 48% increase in infection risk among over 80s in the week after the first jab. The FDA found 40%. Now a study from Denmark finds 40%. Will the Government publish the data to set our minds at ease?
Mass testing in schools as children returned this week is resulting in hundreds of positives – but viral prevalence is now so low that the large majority of them are wrong and result in children and their contacts isolating needlessly.
