In an article this week the BBC claims that Covid vaccines saved 120,000 UK lives in 2021. But in fact the latest official estimate is 10 times lower than this, says Prof David Paton. Why is the BBC using outdated figures?
The BBC was allowed to "misrepresent" the risk posed by Covid to most people to boost public support for lockdown, top Government adviser Professor Mark Woolhouse has told the Covid Inquiry.
Did the Covid vaccines save 7,000 in the summer of 2022? That's the claim of a new Lancet modelling study. But the underlying data show that two thirds of the hospitalisations and deaths were in the fully vaccinated.
In his analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the U.K., financial analyst James Ferguson questions the likely overstatement of Covid and investigates the factors behind unexplained excess deaths.
Once a highly trusted source of information, now the BBC "confuses the public, passes on facile information and guesswork and uses incorrect expressions that debase science", says Dr. Tom Jefferson.
The "carnage" in care homes as Covid hit and the vulnerable elderly were hastily discharged from hospital and isolated from proper care is laid bare in a new study.
The fear is being ramped up again as the WHO warns of "concerning trends" for COVID-19 ahead of winter with "increasing deaths" as the new BA.2.86 Pirola variant spreads. Run for the hills.
After Bronny James' cardiac arrest, leading doctors are insisting jabs are not to blame. But if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, chances are, it's a duck.
The New York Times has published an angry article blaming Ron DeSantis for the "steep cost" of his Covid response, despite having to admit Florida did better than the rest of the country.
If the vaccines saved lives, why were Florida's Covid waves no smaller after the rollout than before? The same can be said for Israel and Bahrain, while low-vaccination comparators often fared better.
