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%?
A new Lancet pre-print study from Sweden finds zero vaccine efficacy against infection after nine months, and worrying drops against severe disease as well. But some people are living in a parallel universe.
Cambridge statistician David Spiegelhalter – assisted by the Times – joins calls for the UKHSA to stop producing "completely unacceptable" data showing infection rates higher in the vaccinated.
The Prime Minister has admitted that the vaccines don't prevent infection or transmission. Will he now join the dots and accept vaccines don't protect others, and thus abandon all vaccine coercion?
Infection rates in the vaccinated are now more than double those in the unvaccinated for people aged 40-79, according to the latest UKHSA data. This week there is also a startling revelation about the vaccines.
A new study from the ZOE Covid Study App claims that natural immunity gives just 65% protection, worse than the vaccines. There's a problem with it, however.
The latest PHE vaccine report sees unadjusted vaccine effectiveness hit minus-109% in people in their 40s, with older age groups not much better.
The latest PHE report shows infection rates in the vaccinated well above those in the unvaccinated in the over-40s. For how long can governments ignore the truth that vaccine passports and mandates are pointless?
'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.
A new study in the Lancet finds that vaccine effectiveness against infection drops fast over five months – but protection against serious disease is more robust.
