not sure what the issue is.
the terms of the FOI requested are set out in the Act which the government are complying with, and were nice enough to point out the specific clauses that support their refusal. Are they upset with discovering what the FOI legislation terms are?
Vicki spit was unable to prove a causal link sufficient to access the compensation fund for her husband dying of a blood clot 8 days after receiving a vaccine. It's sad, but at known worldwide complication rates, you are 14 times more likely to die of blood clot in any week from other causes than the minusculely low rate of thrombolytic reaction to AZ, so the government is right to ask for evidence of a causal link other than an eight day synchronicity before paying out taxpayers money

I understand why she's angry and suspicious, but pretty much ^this^.
It's not evidence of a cover-up, because there is no cover-up. Safety of medicines is very strictly monitored, and this goes for older drugs as well as new ones.
It's true that pharmaceutical companies have got away with very dodgy practices in decades gone by, resulting in real harm to lots of people, but the regulatory framework and monitoring in place now means that really isn't likely to happen these days. Pharmaceutical companies are far more likely to drop a promising new drug if the risk:benefit ratio looks like increasing beyond 'infinatesimal'.

I really HATE this trend that the TABLOIDS have started of TYPING certain things in uppercase for EMPHASIS.

They've probably developed a script or plug-in that scans the text and capitalises any word that matches a list they have

I've been damaged by more than one drug.
The risks are outlined in the data sheet, so tough.
There is no such thing as a free lunch or a perfect pharmaceutical product; especially if the product is produced in an emergency.
If people want to complain about nasty side effects and dodgy companies, try the 'beauty' industries and products like fillers and skin lighteners, weight loss pills etc.

Watching Maajid Nawaz's spiralling mental health over the last few years has been tough.
I stopped listening to his LBC show a few months before he was sacked for spreading covid conspiracies. It was alleged by some that his pivot from liberalism to American right wing libertarianism coincided with Quilliam being funded by and operating from an actual Republican Party office.
It's really sad, he should know that he's susceptible to paranoid conspiracy theories, given his history.
