🚨🚨 Boris Johnson - ‘To travel to some countries you need a booster to be considered fully vaccinated and its likely within weeks this will become the norm’
➡️ He is quite clearly about to remove the Covid pass from millions who are double vaccinated if they do not get booster
A booster wont stop you catching Covid-19 or passing it on. Its is a milder variant and millions also had Covid.
Absolute nonsense to mandate everyone to have a booster to live their lives for a variant that is significantly less worse to put an impact on NHS.
My point about Boris Johnson does not relate to other countries asking for it - its when he changes it in this country to go to the theatre etc.
Chat (video thread) with @rickedwards1 on the latest #Covid situation across the UK
◼️ Seeing a rapid rise in cases across the country and England has the lowest case rate
◼️ More patients in hospitals but good news is we are seeing little change in patients in intensive care
◼️ Deaths 83% lower than this time last year and vast majority of most vulnerable had a booster vaccine
◼️ Likely we will see an increase in deaths but remember the daily deaths figures are people who die with a positive test - so need to look at total deaths to get real picture
◼️ 61% of patients in intensive care unvaccinated. If you compare two people with similar characteristics, the unvaxxed person is more likely to be admitted than the vaxxed person
Varies by age and personal characteristics. We know those who are obese are overrepresented in ICU
Deaths linked to #Covid19 in Wales have been trending down for about 6 weeks and currently 92% lower than this time last year.
With significant rises in cases and daily figures those reported with a positive test - total deaths from all causes will be a better metric this winter
I have had two vaccines myself and not opposed to them at all. Get the booster if you want one - if your vulnerable they can be the difference between serious illness or not.
But the media keep peddling attacks on unvaccinated every day with false information.

🚨🚨 @Anna_Soubry - ‘The terrible misinformation being spread...which is blatant lies. We know the overwhelming majority of people in hospital on the covid wards... are people unvaccinated’
FACT CHECK ❌
➡️ Latest data - 46% of patients admitted with Covid unvaccinated
If Anna Soubry is going to go on Sky News attacking misinformation and saying tough measures should be taken against it then she seriously needs to get her maths correct.
It is quite frankly embarrassing for her to say what she did and get the numbers wrong.
🚨🚨 Latest Denmark data shows unvaccinated make up a smaller proportion of #Covid19 admissions with #Omicron than previous variants
➡️ Of the 454 with known vaccination status, 24% of admissions unvaccinated vs 45% for previous variants.
➡️ Omicron is also less likely to result in a hospital admission - remember these numbers include people who are admitted with Covid-19 but may be treated for other things.
Also includes those who catch the variant in hospital.
It may be that there is a higher proportion of people who are vaccinated in hospital with Omicron because its a milder variant and we are just picking up people in hospital with it rather than for it.
Vaccination rates higher in older people who need treatment for other things.
