In my view the UK health authorities should pause the current covid-19 vaccination programme, due to the risks associated with vaccination.
As time has passed since the early days of 2020, the number of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 infection has continued to decline since it’s peaks in previous waves. This is clearly seen in data published by the UK government and the Office for National Statistics.
In addition, the proportion of patients in hospital with COVID-19 is now greater than the patients admitted to hospital for COVID-19. This is true for general hospital admissions as well as ICU admissions. In other words, most Covid positive patients admitted to hospital are now incidental, and were not admitted purely for COVID-19 complications.
As a result of mass infection during the various waves of the pandemic, especially the huge numbers of people infected with the omicron variant, most people have developed levels of natural immunity to the virus.
If I am correct in this evaluation, this means that the risk of COVID-19 infection has gone down, while the risk of vaccination remains the same.
This fundamentally alters the risk benefit analysis of this vaccination programme.

The coronavirus was expected to devastate the continent, but higher-income and better-prepared countries appear to have fared far worse.
The assertion that Covid isn’t as big a threat in Africa has sparked debate about whether the African Union’s push to vaccinate 70 percent of Africans against the virus this year is the best use of health care resources, given that the devastation from other pathogens, such as malaria, appears to be much higher.
Since only 14 percent of the population has received any kind of Covid vaccination, the antibodies are overwhelmingly from infection.
KAMAKWIE, Sierra Leone — There are no Covid fears here.
The district’s Covid-19 response center has registered just 11 cases since the start of the pandemic, and no deaths. At the regional hospital, the wards are packed — with malaria patients. The door to the Covid isolation ward is bolted shut and overgrown with weeds.
The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study.
The study demonstrates the power of the human immune system. The research impresses Nussenzweig and other scientists who have reviewed a preprint of the results, posted yesterday on medRxiv. “It’s a textbook example of how natural immunity is really better than vaccination,” says Charlotte Thålin, a physician and immunology researcher at Danderyd Hospital and the Karolinska Institute who studies the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. “To my knowledge, it’s the first time [this] has really been shown in the context of COVID

I can only imagine what its like to be so consistently wrong days , weeks, months, years on end but be so utterly convinced you're always right
I can't fathom the hubris and utter denial of reality that takes
Congrats
This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.

Covid has very little effect in the young and healthy who are in no need of these products.
The vaccinations must stop if they are still going on for children and young and healthy adults as often the risks of vaccinations outweigh the risks from Covid and the vaccines could be hazardous.
Natural Immunity is superior to vaccination

Having SARS-CoV-2 once confers much greater immunity than a vaccine

One of the largest studies conducted and the most reliable together with the studies in California and New York.
By the way there is no need for vaccine apologetics and defending of the pharmaceuticals.

An anti-vaxxer? The man has had THREE SHOTS FFS! But the moment he starts to ask questions, and presents PLENTY of information to support his growing suspicions, you folks turn on him because he's no longer preaching the vaccine gospel.
I wish I could say I'm surprised, but honestly I'm not. Doesn't make it any less insane!

Yeah, ok.
Pure and simple, even?
This is why we can't have nice things....
