You asked
I would really like to know how many UK pilots (civil and military) have lost their medical fitness to fly since being jabbed, and how those numbers compare to the pre-jab average for the years 2023 -2022-2021-2020-2019-2018-2017-2016.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We are responsible for the production of mortality data for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from death certificates at death registration. We have conducted analysis relating to deaths by COVID-19 vaccination status. However, we do not collect or hold data to identify those who have lost fitness following a vaccination.
The Civil Aviation Authority may be better placed to assist with civilian pilots, their Pilot licensing enquiries team can be contacted at fclweb@caa.co.uk. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) may be better placed to assist with military pilot information their information rights team can be contacted at cio-foi@mod.gov.uk.
