I’m Dr. Clare Craig, a Consultant Pathologist.
I have exhausted all avenues of rational medical and scientific reasoning with the UK Health Security Agency and Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in my petitioning of them to release vital information on the dates of vaccination and deaths during and after the Covid Pandemic.
The UKHSA has confirmed it holds the information we scientists and medical experts need in order to do our job properly, analysing the effectiveness of public policies during the pandemic. Such information is vital for the truth benefit of the bereaved families, accountability of the efficacy of public policy at the time and lessons to be learned going forwards.
The ICO says that the release of the information could ‘be harmful’. That makes us even more determined to take them to court to force release the data the UKHSA holds.
It is remarkable that the organisation who is charged with upholding public and expert access to national data of scientific and medical policy importance is itself blocking its release.
So now we have commenced legal action to force disclosure.
Our Legal costs are estimated at around £8,000 to take this all the way through the court process. I hope that you can see the wrongfulness of the ICO’s stance and will support me and my fellow doctors / scientists in funding this vital challenge. In the event that our legal costs work out less or we raise more than our fundraising target, we will ringfence any surplus to support similar future legal campaigns focused on public policy data release for the benefit of independent analysis.
Here is a link to a detailed Q&A with my solicitor, explaining the history of my efforts to get public access to this data.

Thank you so much for your understanding of the vital need to force release this data which exists but is shielded from public awareness.
