Under a recent ruling by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) will not be required to release data that may show a link between Covid-19 vaccines and excess deaths. The decision follows a two-year legal battle initiated by the nonprofit group UsForThem, which had filed a freedom of information request for access to the data.
The agency argued that releasing the information could cause “distress” to families of the deceased and be used to promote “misinformation” about the vaccines. Critics say this reasoning serves more as a shield for institutional self-preservation than public interest.
Legal director Ben Kingsley of UsForThem called the UKHSA’s decision “a desperation that this data should not, in any form, see the light of day.” The watchdog group TrialSite News wrote that by relying on emotional harm rather than scientific concerns, the government “inadvertently strengthened the very narrative it likely hoped to avoid.”
Among those speaking out are vaccine-injured individuals like Danielle Baker, a former hospice nurse who was left permanently disabled after receiving a Covid-19 shot.
