🚨🚨 Mark Drakeford - "It is the nature of the nightclub that people go there in order to be up close and personal"

➡️ Explaining decision to close nightclubs

You needed a #VaccinePassport or a negative test so surely it was safe❓ Or as I have said many times they're pointless

🚨🚨 @sajidjavid - “Having gone through the Delta wave and so many South Africans having being infected with Delta whether there is a high degree of natural protection through infection”

➡️ Government just removed natural immunity from #CovidPass

➡️ Ignore science for control
If the Health Secretary thinks South Africa may be coping better with #Omicron because of natural immunity then why is the UK Government now refusing to even acknowledge this as I explained here to @iancollinsuk
Even Chris Whitty was talking about the impact of natural immunity on reducing the hospital rate - the immune system offering good protection against infection.

🚨🚨 @sajidjavid - ‘If we look at those that are the most ill in hospital needing the most care and attention, around 9 out of 10 of them are unvaccinated’

FACT CHECK

➡️ This relates to 154 patients over 5 months and around 0.14% of #Covid patients admitted to hospital
It is true that 91% of patients requiring Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Respiratory Failure were unvaccinated - this was 141 people of the 154 patients.

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.

He is basing her claims on 0.14% of the population admitted to hospital with Covid and ignoring the other 99.86%.

We don't have numbers for London but if what he is saying is true it bucks national trend.

🚨🚨 @S_Hammond - ‘ This is only anectodal but speaking to a hospital A&E consultant this morning tells me that most of the people in their ICU are unvaccinated’

FACT CHECK

➡️ Latest estimates show that nationally 48% in ICU unvaccinated, not most people. ❌
It may well be what Stephen is quoting is correct for the specific ICU unit as there will be variations across the country.

But this is a line being quoted by the media and ministers that is not supported by national data.
The unvaccinated population is much smaller though and they are over represented in ICU in relation to the share of population size.

My blog goes into more detail on the numbers
