1. The latest ONS report on deaths by vaccination status has serious anomalies (as in their previous report we analysed). Most obvious one is their analysis claims age standardized NON-COVID mortality rate is TWICE as high in the unvaxxed as the vaxxed. This is not credible… 
2. If true it would mean either a) healthier people got vaccinated, so all their estimates of vaccine effectiveness are massively confounded by prior health status; or b) the COVID vaccines are full of magic fairy dust that cures non-Covid illness and doubles your life expectancy
3. The report indeed claims that healthy people were more likely to get vaxxed (Page 5). But this contradicts both the NHS Guidelines on vaccine prioritization and the statement on Page 1 of the report

5. As the data is simply not credible, we believe this entire new report should be disregarded. ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
6. Our analysis of their previous report (which we will shortly be updating) is here: researchgate.net/publication/35…
7. An explanation of the age standardized mortality rate and also how it can easily mislead people is here:
If the ONS released all the raw mortality data we would not need to rely on such estimates at all.
If the ONS released all the raw mortality data we would not need to rely on such estimates at all.
