Show deaths within 28 days of a COVID vaccine - The same as COVID death count
Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
We would much prefer transparency surrounding the vaccine. The same way you would count a "Covid Death" as a death for any reason within 28 days of a positive test, we should also be documenting deaths for any reason within 28 days of the COVID Vaccines
I believe transparency throughout the system is justified and to give people the facts to be shared. If we are counting people who have died for any reason within 28 days as a COVID death on the BBC, we should be also showing people the statistics of a death for any reason within 28 days of a COVID jab. Why do one and not the other? Let's be fair.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is already publishing data on the safety of Covid-19 vaccines, including reported side effects: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/latest-monitoring-data-confirms-safety-of-covid-19-vaccines
