EXCLUSIVE: More than 3,000 Britons have complained about Covid tests
At least 555 claim to have suffered 'minor' or 'serious' harm from using the swabs
But the medicines watchdog says incidents may be caused by 'unrelated' factors
At least 3,443 complaints were logged about Covid tests by April 7, according to the MHRA data. Of these, 1,013 complaints were logged about lateral flow swabs.
The vast majority of complaints did not give sufficient information about the harms caused by tests.
But allergic reactions to components of the test and choking were the most common incidents reported.
Britons also complained of headaches, a bleeding nose, respiratory tract infections, sore throats, hot flushes, skin inflammation and swelling.
Had the utter joy of having one of those fucks thrust up my nose after flying back from abroad with my wife, last summer. I was almost screaming bloody murder at the nurse during the experience, who thought it was funny - the truth in my words was probably a little too close for comfort and she laughed as she knew it was true. It felt like a frontal lobomoty and nothing should ever go that far up my nose - it cannot possibly be anywhere near healthy (i.e., it is bad for you). Then, yes THEN, the same fucking thing does the back of my throat and I'm nearly sick. Unbelievable. I'd pay extra to do one you do yourself that basically touches your wisdom teeth (had one of those and they are fine), though frankly the entire thing can piss off and die in a fire as the whole notion of testing people for a virus that is absolutely fucking everywhere is pathetically insane.
