Public Health Scotland identified a spike of 65 baby deaths during the Covid vaccine rollout but has refused to investigate the role of the vaccines as it could "harm vaccine confidence".
Public Health Scotland has announced that it is no longer going to publish its Covid rates by vaccination status. Purportedly this is because it is being misrepresented, but more likely it's because it looks so bad.
New data from PHS shows that unvaccinated people now form a minority of infections and hospitalisations. The latest estimate of vaccine mortality reduction is 67%.
Last week I reported that data from PHS showed that 87% of the deaths added in the most recent week were in the vaccinated, giving a VE of just 46%. This week's data is very different, but it is a reporting artefact.
A rough calculation based on recent death data from PHS suggests that, with 87% of deaths in the vaccinated, vaccine effectiveness against death may be considerably less than studies have suggested.
