![]() When asked by the unvaccinated philosophy graduate what 'rights individuals have' to choose whether or not to get the jab because of health concerns, Prof Shattock said there was 'overwhelming evidence' the vaccine was safe. Good for you sunshine, let me know when that usurps a scientific degree to do with vaccinations and I'll gladly* listen to your sh**ty musings from the internet'.Īt one point Victor Adebowale, chair of the NHS Confederation, looked uncomfortable and appeared to panic-drink some water. The exchange causing a flurry of critical tweets from viewers aimed at the philosophy student, branding him a 'f***ing idiot' who should 'put your incorrect notes away and listen to the world-renowned vaccine expert'. ![]() 'That's why I got vaccinated as soon as possible - and so should you.' Those are really good odds,' Dr Karl said. He said the chance of dying from Covid-19 once infected is 22,000 in a million, 550 times higher than the risk of being killed on Australia's roads. The vaccine has been linked to extremely rare blood clotting incidents but Dr Karl said the risk of dying in a road accident is still much higher at 40 deaths in a million. The figure is taken from Therapeutic Goods Administration data, which shows there have only been nine deaths linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine from more than 9.6 million doses administered across Australia. 'One in a million is the odds of dying from the AstraZeneca vaccine,' the expert dubbed 'the people's scientist' said in an video shared on TikTok. One woman appearing on the show said she felt she didn't need the vaccine - believing her body was best to beat it - but admitted her friends had advised her not to reveal she was unvaccinated because 'people are gonna look at you like you smell.'Ī renowned Australian academic said his research has found that the risk of dying from Covid is 22,000 times higher than suffering fatal side-effects from the vaccine.ĭr Karl Kruszelnicki, 73, said all people need to know the numbers one, 40 and 22,000 when weighing up whether or not they should get vaccinated against the virus. The BBC has been facing criticism after it emerged that Question Time was planning to show an episode to air the views of vaccine sceptics. The Daily Telegraph's Tim Stanley, who was on the panel, said 'To the gentleman with his degree in philosophy, which is a very good thing to have, by the way, of course it won't protect you from a virus, whereas degrees in medicine are probably much more useful in that regard.' He said the data on vaccine safety is 'indisputable'. Professor Shattock said: 'We have far more safety data on the current vaccines as they have been in the arms of billions of people,' he said, and encouraged him to check the data on risks and 'serious adverse events,' saying they are 'extremely rare'. The unvaccinated man claimed the jab had 'horrific side effects'. He then said that 'for young healthy people… the potential side effects' of the vaccine are 'worse than the potential side effects from Covid'. And Professor Robin Shattock, head of the Mucosal Infection and Immunity at Imperial College London's Medicine department, then accused him of talking 'complete nonsense' and that it had been designed after research by teams at BioNTech and Moderna. He then referred to Professor Robert Malone, a former vaccine scientist turned skeptic who went on the Joe Rogan Spotify podcast to slam the Covid-19 jab, claiming he had invented the mRNA vaccines being used to battle coronavirus globally.įiona Bruce began pointing her pen at him and said: 'No I don't think that is the man who invented the vaccine'. ![]() When asked by host Fiona Bruce about why he didn't believe the experts he replied: 'I studied philosophy at university', claiming this had taught him to question authority. The unnamed man said that tens of millions of Britons had been given the jab even thought the country was 'operating with incomplete data', shuffling his notes and telling the panel: 'I have looked at the data myself'. An anti-vaxxer philosophy student was accused of 'talking nonsense' on Question Time last night after arguing with one of the world's top experts that the vaccine is more dangerous for young people than catching Covid.
