UKHSA Provides Mortality Data to Big Pharma but not to the General Public

Dame Jenny Harries at the Health Select Committee

Jenny Harries became a Dame in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to health. This was partly due to her role as Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England during the pandemic.

She went on to become the chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) in 2021. This combined Public Health England and England’s NHS Test and Trace.

On Monday, Harries appeared before the Health and Social Care Committee where she was asked about the data around excess deaths.

She confirmed that whilst the Agency doesn’t routinely share record level mortality data sets that include vaccination dates, doses and/or co-morbidities, they have released anonymised, aggregate data to vaccine manufacturers. Apparently, this is for their own vaccines, to support obligations to report as part of the safety surveillance.

However, Harries goes on to infer that Parliament and the public may not be able to have access to the same data provided to the vaccine manufacturers, for commercial sensitivity reasons.

It’s good to know that data paid for by the taxpayer cannot be shared with the taxpayer. Data about and concerning tax payers cannot be viewed by tax payers, even though it is anonymised. But it has already been given to Big Pharma.

More confirmation as to who these organisations really work for. Hint - not you.
