The ONS's latest figures reveal that the UK's green jobs boom is more of a green jobs bust, with many roles simply swapping hats rather than growing the economy, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.
Civil servants at the ONS, Britain’s official statistics body, have threatened to go on strike after being asked to work in the office for two days a week.
Excess deaths since 2022 were primarily in the vaccinated, official data suggest, fuelling fears that the Covid vaccines may be playing a significant role in the high excess deaths in recent years.
And just like that, 20,000 fewer people died unexpectedly last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Which is mighty handy for a Government refusing to investigate the excess deaths crisis.
The ONS has finally admitted in a Lancet article that Britain is in an ongoing excess deaths crisis, alarmingly finding hundreds of extra young and middle-aged deaths every month. But experts blame "lifestyle".
Responding to the debate on excess deaths and Covid vaccines, the Government released a document reassuring the public that there is no link. But the data it is based on are worthless, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.
Even on the ONS's own data it's clear that there was never a 'pandemic of the unvaccinated' as the vast majority of deaths since the rollout have always been in the vaccinated, writes Nick Rendell.
Flu largely disappeared during 2020 and 2021, giving rise to ideas among some sceptics that it was being missed and wrongly classified as Covid. However, influenza surveillance data confirm that it really did vanish.
The trouble with waiting 21 days after the jab to count someone as vaccinated is that it can make even a placebo appear to have 95% vaccine efficacy, say Prof Norman Fenton and Prof Martin Neil.
Is London's Newham really home to a higher proportion of trans people than Brighton? That’s what the latest ONS data suggest. Prof. Michael Briggs checked the Government’s maths and finds this “scarcely credible”.
