🚨🚨 ‘Just got to be a bit of caution that some of the politicians are going out there misleading the public with some of the numbers’

➡️ Discussing with @SimonMcCoyTV the repeated claim 9 in 10 Covid patients in ICU unvaccinated - estimates put it at 48%
Good to see a news channel @gbnews allowing someone to challenge false information put out by their guests by talking through published facts.

Happy to appear and educate on other media outlets. Good Morning Britain is one of the worst for misinformation but ignored my offer.
Jeremy Vine blocked me when I offered to talk through the numbers on his public funded BBC show.

Very poor show this @franunsworth for a news outlet show.
This thread captures some of the highlights in recent weeks of misinformation across the mainstream media.

Needless to say the facts given to the public are not what the data shows.

🚨🚨 33% of patients with #Covid19 in acute hospitals in England are in for other reasons but happen to have Covid.

➡️ This has increased from around 25% since mid-Dec.

The % across all hospital settings could be as high as 42%. Image
I had included to this metric patients who catch Covid-19 within hospitals as the NHS website says this number (33%) relates to those who catch Covid-19 in the community.

Today they have confirmed it also includes those who catch in hospital. I have asked them to update website
The 33% relates only to those in acute hospitals. Acute care is where a patient receives active, short-term treatment for a condition.

There are patients with Covid-19 in settings such as community or mental hospitals. It is less likely patients here are being treated for Covid.

Of 16,743 #Omicron cases in Germany just 1.4% of them reinfections.

➡️ Makes the Government decision to remove infection acquired immunity in the UK a suspicious ploy to increase vaccine uptake rather than scientific.

Data (Robert Koch Institute) -> rki.de/DE/Content/Inf…
Vaccine status known for 4,206 of which

◾️ 186 unvaccinated - 4.4%
◾️ 4,020 fully vaccinated (2 doses) - 68.5%
◾️ 1,137 had a booster (revaccinated) - 27.0%

Source -> rki.de/DE/Content/Inf…
Data suggests a previous Covid infection hugely superior to vaccination to avoid #Omicron.
