The UK's Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is expecting a "high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs)" and ne

Scaremongering headline,
A “headline” that was written numerous times in the body of the document which was produced by The MHRA itself. I take it you think that they (The MHRA ) are wrong?
 
You should read the link.
I am afraid that until I know the scientific credentials of those in the organisation that you link to, I will stand back and rely on those whose credentials can be checked, thank you very much.
 
Oh, I can quite appreciate the attractions of chicken licken threads.
 
Somewhere there’s a site with a random “SHOCK! AWE! HORROR!” generator.
 

‘Infamy, Infamy, you’ve all got it in for me.’ 😆

AI software to keep track.
AI software would be more useful for seeking correlations to factors and a reaction. Tracking would be better managed by a data management system (such as a database). Not by an AI agent. Are you sure you correctly understand the intended use of AI, or that it is actually going to be used?

Should your question not be addressed to the UK`s Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency who are the Contracting Authority according to the details I have linked to?

No, as the link that you’ve shared doesn’t assert that they are using an AI tool to perform tracking. I cannot attribute to them that AI software is used for tracking. Thus, it appears more appropriate to direct my question to you since you are the only source that I can identify that has stated “tracking.”

They link states that they will be using “SafetyConnect - AI” for “processing.” But that term is far more general than “tracking.”
 
Seriously, I was shocked when I discovered what people post on this site. Are you suggesting the same thing that I have been thinking for some time, namely, that some of the people who incessantly post far-right propaganda and conspiracy theories may be professional trolls, i.e. employees of a hostile foreign government spreading disinformation to disrupt western democracies? Honestly, about half of what I have seen on CAF has nothing whatsoever to do with Catholicism and is more to do with American ideological conservatism. I feel like I should have brought a Gadsden flag and an AR-15.
 
TBF, Adverse Drug Reactions could mean everything from a hangnail all the way to death.

I don’t know about the UK, but in the US, literally anything a person self-reports about their experience with a drug gets filed in the records.
The patient themself doesn’t even have to think there’s a correlation.

So, it’s reasonable that the pharmaceutical company would need to get the software necessary to process these reports.

With previous elections, there was a trend of accounts showing up that appeared to be dedicated to posting messages against one candidate or issue or in favour of another. They were generally abrasive in their communication style, and tended to all disappear after an election was over.
 
Joined just after the election, posted for 11 days, mostly about the election, guns, and some other right-wing culture wars stuff, then disappeared.
There are some user accounts that appear all the time that try to post about COVID-19 hoaxes. They are easily recognizable because their profiles have URLs to the same COVID-19 hoax information. They start off liking a lot of messages until their accounts reach the status that allows them to make new threads, then they inundate the forum with as many messages.

When I spot them, I report them, and the moderators have been pretty good about shutting them down before they can get the status to engage in their usual behaviour.
