I have done several threads highlighting the media misreporting the number of unvaccinated patients in hospitals (see next tweet for thread) claiming more than there are.
For balance, this is not to suggest vaccines are a bad thing.

My blog shows that those unvaccinated who are identified as a Covid case are more likely to be admitted to hospital.
We don't know how much bias there is with those coming forward for testing, for example, are unvaccinated mainly picked up at hospitals.

This chart shows the % of cases identified in relation to the patients admitted to hospital by vaccine status - higher ratios for the unvaccinated. 
The good news is the number of patients in hospital is considerably lower than last year (the vaccine would have helped)

We know it's the elderly and most vulnerable who are most likely to need healthcare. Over 4 in 5 over 70s had their booster but still up to 79k in care homes and people bed-bound at home waiting for them.
This should be a priority and not rushing to vaccinate young people.

I have had two doses of a vaccine myself and recently had Covid. I do not see any need for a booster right now.
I believe everyone should have a choice and mandating medical status as a requirement to go to venues is nonsense.

If you want a booster go out and get one - there is ample opportunity.
If you dont and Boris then changes the goalposts that double jabbed are no longer fully vaccinated then that opens up another whole debate on coercion.

Millions of vulnerable around the world have had no vaccines, while we are boosting people who will get very little benefit for it, and paying Pfizer allegedly up to £22 a time to do it.

And now Sajid Javid is changing the goalposts to coerce boosters even if they offer little additional benefit to some individuals
