🚨🚨 NHS GP on GB News - ‘The vast majority of them [in hospital] are going to be unvaccinated. Nobody dies from the Omicron variant if you've been vaccinated’
FACT CHECK ❌❌
➡️ Deaths with Covid within 28 days, 78% had a vaccine & 70% admitted to hospital vaccinated
Both of his claims are completely false you can find the data referred to in the previous tweet in the UKHSA report (pages 44 and 45).
They are based on the data in the 4 weeks from week 52 of 2021 to week 3 of 2022.
Two people with similar characteristics you are less likely to be admitted if vaccinated (and die) but it varies significantly depending on personal circumstances.
But medics claiming you do not die if vaccinated when most of the deaths are in this group is irresponsible.
He also fails to point out of those in hospital now up to 56% of them are in hospital with Covid but it is not the primary reason they are receiving treatment.
He couldn’t have misled even more within 23 seconds if he tried.
This thread covers quite a lot of misinformation put out over the media in the past few months from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky from presenters and contributors.
Remember most of the patients in critical care beds in England are in for non Covid reasons and more unoccupied beds than there are with Covid patients
