In a day of good news, Britain's daily Covid cases fell for the first time in a month, daily Covid deaths declined 30.4% week on week and hospitalisations dropped in London.

In new analysis, Prof Norman Fenton argues that the apparent high vaccine effectiveness against death may be an illusion created by problems in the definitions used in the data.

More vaccinated people appear to be dying from Covid than are officially counted. This is also likely to lead to vaccine efficacy being overestimated.

The Office for National Statistics has reported that only half of excess deaths in England and Wales since July have been attributed to Covid.

A new study from Norway finds vaccination makes no difference to the risk of dying in hospital from Covid, though it does reduce severity for survivors in terms of length of hospital stay and risk of ICU admission.

56% of "COVID-19 patients" did not test positive until they were admitted to hospital. This highlights an important point: testing positive is not the same thing as having the *disease* COVID-19.

COVID-19 poses almost no risk to young people. Rather than trying to strong-arm every last 18 year old into getting a vaccine they don't need, why not donate our left-over vaccines to elderly people in other countries?

A recent study determined that only 25 people aged under 18 died of COVID-19 in England up to February of this year. 76% had a serious underlying health condition. The survival rate in this age-group was 99.995%.

Coronavirus deaths in the U.K. have fallen by three-quarters after just seven deaths were revealed today, with no sign of resurgence since restrictions have been eased.

Only a small proportion of people who have received a Covid vaccine have been admitted to hospital with the virus and died, according to a new study. Most had caught Covid before the vaccine would be expected to work.
