This means that it was almost certainly random that all the people who developed the condition happened to be in the vaccine group, and the same number of people would likely have got it in any group that size, regardless of a vaccine. … [Read more...] about Calls for calm over Pfizer vaccine roll-out after two NHS staff suffer ‘anaphylactoid reaction’: Scientists urge public not to panic after regulators warn people with history of ‘significant’ allergies NOT to have jab
