This thread covers quite a lot of misinformation put out over the media in the past month from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky from presenters and contributors as well as Government ministers.
Remember the vast majority of people in the population are vaccinated and for two people who have similar characteristics, the vaccinated person is less likely to be admitted.
But this varies hugely through other factors as well such as age and weight.
