🚨🚨 BBC Radio 4 Today Programme Presenter “Between 20-30% of critical care beds are occupied by Covid patients, 3/4 of those haven’t been vaccinated.

FACT CHECK

➡️ 20% in critical care are patients with Covid

➡️ Latest estimates show 48% in ICU unvaccinated not 3/4. ❌

The presenter went on to repeat the claim when interviewing a contributor who agreed with her assertion.

Vaccines reduce chance of being admitted vs someone similar without. But the claims across the BBC the majority of people in ICU are unvaccinated not supported by the facts.
Thread here highlights many of the false facts put out in the media over the past week.
I wonder why the BBC closed down @BBCRealityCheck. They would have been this week with the shows and presenters.

Jeremy Vine here last week.
And BBC Health Correspondent here
My blog goes into the number in more detail.

Nadine is using data on 154 patients over 5 months.

It is true that 91% of patients requiring Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Respiratory Failure were unvaccinated - this was 141 people.

Over the same period, 100,000 patients were admitted to hospital with Covid
I would hardly say quoting this most extreme care is representative of the likely outcome for patients.

She is basing her claims on 0.14% of the population admitted to hospital with Covid and ignoring the other 99.86%.
Over the same period there were 4.2 million Covid cases identified through testing (overall there would have been more but not tested).

So the basis of her claims is on 0.0033% of the cases identified.

🚨🚨 #Covid cases are up 12% week on week across the UK. Testing is also up 12% week on week.

As with last year, there is increased testing around the festive period.

Across the countries case up 38% in Scotland, 12% in England, down 2% in Wales and down 8% in N.Ireland. Image
Testing in the UK is heading towards record levels with on average 1.2 million per day being tested over the past week.

More testing as people have festive parties and gatherings may pick up more cases without symptoms. Image
Within England, cases are only rising among people aged 20 to 49.

For those most vulnerable cases are flat or down. We have even seen a fall week on week among children aged 10 to 14. Image

🚨🚨 @NadineDorries ‘ICU beds/hospital admissions are majority patients unvaccinated’

FACT CHECK

➡️ 40% of admissions are unvaccinated
➡️ 48% in ICU beds unvaccinated

❌❌ Both claims of the Secretary of State are false ❌❌ Image
She has form of repeating this information and I have asked her last week to clarify her source.

She has continued to ignore me.
The UKHSA report published last Friday indicates for the most recent data around 40% of patients admitted to hospital were unvaccinated.

Remember not all admissions are because of Covid, around 1 in 4 are not.

Some may also catch in hospital

🚨🚨 Channel 4 News - "What about those who haven't had a vaccination at all. With #Covid patients in intensive care now almost all unvaccinated"

FACT CHECK

➡️Latest estimates show 48% in ICU unvaccinated, not almost all ❌

Shocking misrepresentation of the data on @c4news
In the past week, we have already had BBC and ITV main news show outlets broadcasting information not supported by the facts, with Sky News having a contributor talking nonsense on stats in Wales.

Channel 4 gives us a full house across the mainstream media.

🚨🚨 Sajid Javid - “Once all adults have had a reasonable chance to get their booster jab we intend to change this exemption to require a booster dose”

➡️ 2 jabs and don’t get booster your vaccination status redundant

What next? Don’t have 4th dose your booster don’t count?
And data in the USA confirms the boosted catching #Omicron.

UK scientists clearly having a bad pandemic.
