These complaints are NOT reported adverse reactions , but from health care practitioners/doctors/ or health centres or patients/carers regarding people’s unhappiness about any COVID-19 vaccine. I would like to know the total of complaints.
Also I asked for how much in grants/funding has the MHRA received from the gates foundation/bill and mirinda gates foundation per year (annually ) from 2010-2021. - also I would like to know what these grants/funding was in relation too.
I would like to know the details of the projects.
Regarding a spike proteins of either the virus or vaccine - how many reports from 3rd parties( individuals or organisations) or government departments have expressed concerns of the spike proteins.”
Question 1:
Queries which are logged as complaints are those which are raised under the agency’s Administrative Complaints procedure. Four complaints have been logged since December 2020 which relate to Covid-19 vaccines.
Question 2:
Please see the attached document that details the relevant Gates funding received and project description between 2010-2021.
Question 3:
The MHRA receive requests for information and questions from an array of stakeholders including healthcare professionals, carers, and members of the public. Queries are not counted or classified based on individual topics. For this reason, the MHRA is unable to provide this information. Data collected from the clinical studies performed for each of the authorised vaccines do not show the spike proteins having any harmful effect on the human body.
Kind regards,
