The coroner's concerns
1. inability to compel clinical data
“The Inquest heard that the MHRA do not have the power to compel relevant clinical information, to assist them with safety investigations”
2. incomplete clinical information
“The Inquest heard evidence from a senior medical assessor from the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The Inquest heard that from the 25th February 2021 the MHRA investigated the potential signal of immune thrombocytopenia. This identified three cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis which could possibly be associated with the Astra Zeneca Covid 19 vaccine. The MHRA could not fully consider these cases as they did not receive all of the necessary clinical information”
