🚨🚨 @SadiqKhan "The really bad news is those in hospital - the vast, vast majority are unvaccinated"

FACT CHECK

➡️ Nationally around 40% of patients admitted to hospital unvaccinated.

We don't have numbers for London but if what he is saying is true it bucks national trend.
I've taken his quote from this report

BBC News - Covid: London 'major incident' declared due to Omicron rise
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Latest data on patients admitted with covid and vaccination status in this report.

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
The 40% I refer to are patients with Covid only.
Remember unvaccinated is a smaller proportion of the population. If you have two people with similar characteristics the person unvaccinated is at higher risk of admission than the vaccinated

It does vary by personal characteristics.

But numbers wise most in hospital vaccinated
This thread highlights where misinformation has been used across the media the past few weeks.

London does have one of the lowest vaccination rates so it may differ to the national picture.

🚨🚨 @DominicRaab - ‘A large proportion of those who are in hospital are unvaccinated’

FACT CHECK

➡️ Latest estimates show that 40% of people admitted to hospitals in England are unvaccinated ❌

Data on this can be found here assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
Seems to be a daily occurrence of prominent Government ministers going out on the media making claims not supported by the data.

🚨🚨 Denmark - #Omicron 17,155 cases identified as of 16 December.

◼️ 8.5% in unvaccinated
◼️ 79.0% Two doses only
◼️ 10.8 % booster doses

➡️ Double vaccinated over represented

➡️ Unvaccinated and boosted under represented based on % of population in each group
The data suggests your more likely to test positive for #Omicron if your double vaccinated than if you had no vaccine at all or a booster.

➡️ 16% of population unvaccinated but they make up 8.5% of cases.

➡️ 24% of population are boosted and make up 10.8% of cases.
Unvaccinated are over represented among the other variants, which will be predominantly Delta.

Of the 17,155 #Omicron cases just 30 have ended up in hospital and less than 5 in ICU. There is a time lag between cases and needing to get healthcare if needed.

🚨🚨 @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%.

🚨🚨 MP @BobBlackman - ‘What we do know is the figures that I saw last week were that 96% of the people in hospital with Covid were unvaccinated’

FACT CHECK

➡️ Nationally ~ 40% of Covid patients admitted to hospital unvaccinated. Misleading information @StephenNolan show
MP Bob Blackman is one of several MPs going out across the media presenting facts that are not supported but the Governments own data.

Yesterday we had MP Mark Francois
