NHS data shows that only a very small proportion of people who have received a Covid vaccine have been admitted to hospital with the virus and died. Around 70% of these people caught Covid before the vaccine would be expected to work, according to a new study, and many were also elderly and frail. The Guardian has the story.
A small number of people vaccinated against Covid have been admitted to hospital with the disease and died, researchers have found, but most were frail and elderly and caught the virus before the jab could have taken effect.
Scientists say their findings are reassuring. They bear out the conclusions of trials of the vaccines in use in the U.K., which show the jabs are highly effective but do not protect everyone.
The ISARIC/Co-CIN study was designed to give the Government’s scientific advisory body, SAGE, an early signal of whether or not the vaccines were working.
“We’re saying that the vaccine does work. In fact, this is good real-world evidence of it working, but there are some few failures. And when these failures do occur, sadly, people die, but that’s because they’re elderly and frail,” said Professor Calum Semple, a Co-Lead of ISARIC (International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium).
More than 52,000 people were admitted to hospital with Covid in England, Scotland and Wales between December 8th and March 10th. Of those, 3,842 had been vaccinated. The researchers had information on the date of the first dose of vaccine for 3,598 of them and information on the date of a second dose for 140.
The vaccines would not be expected to work fully until three weeks after they were given, said Dr Annemarie Docherty, an Honorary Consultant in Critical Care at the University of Edinburgh. Most of those admitted post-vaccination were infected just before or in the couple of weeks after receiving their jab. The median time from vaccination to symptoms in the study was 15 days.
“Around 71% of the vaccinated patients that we have in hospital in Isaric developed their symptoms before the vaccine would be expected to work,” she said. “So we’re really only talking about 29% of these patients where we would have hoped the vaccine to prevent hospital admission.”
A total of 526 patients out of 52,000 (1%) had been vaccinated more than three weeks before they developed Covid symptoms and were hospitalised. Of those, 113 died. Most of them (97) were in the two highest risk categories, so frail, elderly or otherwise highly vulnerable.

By ‘climate events’ I assume she means weather. 100% certainty I’d have thought.
Well I’m on the side of the farmers, I don’t think Starmer has the constitution to reconsider, on the contrary I think he’s more likely to go all Trudeau on them…. This might get very interesting…
Surely the farmers will be allowed to continue protesting if they rebrand themselves “Farmers for Palestine”? The police wouldn’t dare interfere then.
Nice one. Or Stinking Rebellion?
There is a very real risk, he will…his controllers cannot allow the project to fail, which was why Turdeau was so very nasty.
The government doesn’t value independent farmers. To be honest, they probably need all that land for solar panels, wind farms and battery banks to achieve their silly zero carbon power supply network dream. Or to build on. They’ve got to find somewhere for their new prisons and illegal immigrant holiday camps…
Or for big Argi to buy up all the land and mass produce all the grasshoppers, mealworm and other forced food that we all will be required to eat in the near future! (Except the elites of course)
I buy mealworms but only for the Blackbirds & the Starlings.
This is not just about inheritance tax…..now there is talk of banning Muck Spreading, while jacking up the price of Fertiliser….this attack is as mad as the Dutch one was…which means it is coming from the WEF goons. The Farmers will likely get no help from Starmer , as he is under orders…they will have to wait till the next election and we the people better make sure we sling them out forever.
And we the people had better make sure to ABOLISH MANDATORY FIVE YEAR GOVERNMENTS, like the Soviet “Five Year Plans”.
Bring back the VOTES OF NO CONFIDENCE that allowed the people to turf out governments that violated the democratic will of the people.
Stopping muck spreading is something the farmers can do to cause the water companies a massive problem with their sewage sludge.
No coverage on the BBC News, as expected……..disgraceful. They have their heads in the sand [or up some other dark place…]
I sent a TXT to Five Live along the same lines this morning, I said they might start to notice when there’s food shortages.
It was reported on BBC Radio 4’s Six O’Clock News. I don’t know about BBC television news, I don’t watch it.
Once a group of people gets together and realises the unassailibility of their power then there is nothing the state can do to stop them, especially in a demoralised country that begs for anything other than the status quo. A mass movement behind farmers means a swift end to corrupt entrenched power. They are so high on their own supply that they can’t even see this as a threat and therein lies their downfall.
If only it were so simple… Dominic Frisby explains why there won’t be a Revolution..

The right to bear arms in the UK would be my first UK ammendment
So here we have both sides of the coin being controlled by the same narrative.
1- “Farmers Threaten to Bring Britain to a Standstill” is the kind of headline that provokes a knee-jerk response from readers. I will leave you to decide but whichever side of the argument you stand on, you can see that very same narrative being seeded in a negative light over time at the following links
This is not unusual for Will Jones, the narrative is designed to portray ‘The Farmers’ as some sort of out of control nefarious mob. Similar headlines will run in the tabloids tomorrow, riling up the nation against those damn farmers
2 – What was actually said
You don’t have to look too far to see how recent events (somewhat manufactured in my humble opinion) are an attempt to engineer support for the State leading to those involved being labelled ‘extremists’ – https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/farmers-protest-organiser-made-racist-34159402
Feels like a setup to me and it’s a shame Mr Jones has stayed true to form on peddling a state narrative. Hegelian Dialectic in play
Nonsense! Will Jones is just reporting on an article in The Telegraph, which quite rightly shows that farmers are angry enough to take effective action, just like the French farmers so often do.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Nigel Farage gets the crucial point: that it will be much more effective for the farmers to launch coordinated tractor protests ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, instead of just focusing on London.
“Attending the protest, Nigel Farage, the Reform U.K. leader, encouraged farmers to keep campaigning across the country.
He told the Telegraph: “In the 100 rural constituencies Labour now holds, they have to keep up this pressure. IT HAS TO BE PERSISTENT IN EVERY MARKET TOWN.”
The farmers should stop the foreign food imports next.
Cause some serious damage, get some big hitters reigned against the lefties. The lefties are actually quite weak people if pressurised, just a bunch of over-promoted school teachers and librarians – like Cameron and May
I’m sure they could get one of those waste tanker slurry jets to pump excrement over the fence into N0 10. Then stop by the BBC Broadcasting House similar to what the Dutch farmers did with their captured media. Give them something to clean up.
Yes, that’s a good idea — the Leftists do love their foreign food imports.
Every region. Maybe you don’t like South Wales because it is full of smack heads. They got that way for a reason. They were seriouslly hard-working bastards before. You pick them all up even the lowest. As a country there would be a huge morale boost. And with good leadership we could move onto brighter things. Don’t let these sad tossers try to convince you that there is no way back. Many things become possible with the right application of mind.
I think SStarmer & Reeves needs a bit of this treatment from farmers!

The big question being why the useless leader of the opposition went with immigration for which she has an appalling back story rather than farming
Do you mean the Nigerian Birth Tourist?
Just heard Farage discussing this on his show. The female guest called Labour liars to which Nigel replied with “strong words”…..She should’ve replied with something like….Just for fairness the Tories have been lying about immigration for years!
It’s just time everyone took to the streets and smashed this rotten WEF governance from LGBT ,BLM ,Climate change
Lets make them all net zero
I am with them, and happy to suffer a little if they start restricting supplies. Labour communists are just the most vile people. The blue socialists (toeies) weren’t much better.
How is it that all the parties have adopted socialists policy directions? I fecking despise them all. Communists of different colours.
The farmers need to keep the public onside. That means not disrupting Christmas and delaying their blockades until the New Year.
Then come down hard and not let up.
Yup….Play the long game.
