🚨🚨 BBC News at Ten @BBCFergusWalsh “4 out of 5 patients on this Covid ward here are unvaccinated”

➡️ Can you point to the statistics for this Fergus?

Official data says around 36% of patients with Covid admitted are unvaccinated in England and 13% in Wales.

@BBCNews #bbcnews
I’m fed up of journalists quoting numbers not in the public domain to fact check. If they are then I apologise if you can provide me a source.

I can then update my blog on this matter.
Ive already called out ITV this week for talking nonsense

🚨🚨 Mark Drakeford - Flow before you go

First Minister asks people to do an LFT before leaving the house to somewhere other people are

These are NOT free tests

There is the cost of the box of tests from China. Some have estimated £8 per test.

This advice could cost a fortune
The First Minister obviously has no confidence in the vaccine passports then because if you have one he wants you to do a test.

🤔🤔🤔
Pharmacies are also paid a transaction fee to give them out.

🚨🚨 @theJeremyVine “90% of patients needing the most intensive care are unvaccinated”

He refers to most intensive care which I believe comes from Sunday Times article and not linked to any source

Can you tell us where this data is Jeremy as its been criticised by me and others
Having called out Dr Hilary Jones, Lorraine Kelly, Martin Kemp and Susanna Reid, its now the turn of Jeremy Vine to quote this 90% number.

As @theJeremyVine says on his profile he has the most listened-to radio news show in Britain.

Can you substantiate the claim made on air?
As my blog talks about (albeit not stats for the most intensive care as they are not published) there are three times as many patients in critical care for non Covid than Covid.

🚨🚨 Dr Hilary Jones sparks over 1000 Ofcom complaints over hospital stats

➡️ Well done all for raising this after I posted on Monday.

Giving out false stats on air should not be tolerated. Lorainne Kelly has not even put out the correct ones.

I've had two jabs so clearly not anti vaxx.

I'm all for presenting facts correctly.

🚨🚨 Boris Press Conference at 6pm with more restrictions planned for England.

➡️ If you look at the data we are not in the same place as last December.

➡️ Cases on the white line tracked vs deaths. Deaths significantly lower than past. Cases in hospital 55% less too Image
Deaths peak around 14 days after cases. They are plotted on different axes to show how the relationship between cases and deaths has been broken.

This in part due to vaccine and fewer restrictions mean more cases in younger people.

🚨🚨 @susannareid100 “Pressure continues to mount on the NHS with 90% of Covid patients requiring the most specialist care unvaccinated”

➡️ Currently longest decline in Covid patients in hospital since last winter

➡️ 90% figure challenged & not available from published sources
If we are seeing thee longest decline in patients in hospital since last winter then how is pressure mounting on the NHS from Covid?

Data here
The 90% figure relating to the most specialist care comes from a Sunday Times front page on Sunday.

My thread challenges this and the article says NHS England have said it but this is not sourced with data. It also related to 150 patients from July-Nov - no context on the type
