Taking the presumption that all 521 were directly due to the vaccine and none were deaths that would have occured anyway.Beachcomber wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 12:20 pm AstraZeneca has now attracted nearly a half a million adverse events and 521 deaths in the UK alone. I think it may have lost the 'vaccine war with the EU'.
Latest figures from the deeply embedded Yellow Card reporting system which is actually two weeks behind real time:

Presently the UK has administered 41 million of the planned 93 million doses of vaccines (presuming all adults get vaccinated)
If deaths continue at the same rate (521 per 41 million) when all vaccines have been administered that would be 1,200 dead.
A few numbers to put 1,200 in context.
Every year approximately 610,000 people die in the UK
Every day in the UK approximately 1,670 people die
The highest single day of deaths from Covid in the UK was 1,820
1,200 'extra' deaths is 0.00197% increase in the UK normal death rate
695,000 people died in the UK last year this represent a 13% increase in the normal UK death rate
There are 46.5 million adults in the UK. 1,200 deaths is 0.0026% of the population
You are 115 times more likely to die in a car accident than you are by getting vaccinated.
Play the Irish lottery every week and you are more likely to win the Irish lottery jackpot once every 3 years than you are to die from a vaccine.
So if you play every year for 60 years you will win it 20 times.
Minimum jackpot is 2 million EUR, so statistically speaking you have more chance to win 80 million EUR on the Irish lottery than you have of dying from a covid vaccination
