Full Fact has 'fact-checked' recent statements about the Covid vaccines by MP Andrew Bridgen, claiming he has "put lives at risk" – but expert group HART picks up Full Fact's errors and sets the record straight.
Full Fact has been lobbying MPs to include "health misinformation" in the Online Safety Bill, forcing websites to censor content declared misinformation by sites like itself. But such sites are far from infallible.
Unadjusted vaccine effectiveness against infection is negative against Omicron for the triple-jabbed over-30s, new UKHSA data show, meaning infection rates per 100,000 are higher in the triple vaccinated.
The UKHSA caves to pressure and removes the chart showing sky-high infection rates in the vaccinated. Plus it states VE should not be estimated from its data. Is that because VE is now as low as minus-132%?
'Fact-checking' organisation Full Fact has taken exception to the Daily Sceptic publishing estimates of vaccine effectiveness from PHE data. But as this correspondence shows, the errors are entirely theirs.
The latest PHE vaccine report shows vaccine effectiveness continues to decline in the over-40s as infection rates in the vaccinated now exceed those in the unvaccinated by up to 66%.
Infection rates in the over-40s are now even higher in the vaccinated than in the unvaccinated – and no amount of 'fact-checking' will change that.
Ofcom has come under fire for labelling scepticism of official statistics as "misinformation" during the Covid crisis – and now we learn it has relied on biased "fact-checker" Full Fact to tell it what to suppress.
