Public Health Scotland will stop publishing data on covid deaths and hospitalisations by vaccination status - over concerns it is misrepresented by anti-vaxx campaigners....
PHS officials said significant concerns about the data being misused deliberately by anti-vaccination campaigners is behind the move.
The report published on Wednesday will be the last weekly publication to include the data on infection rates among the vaccinated and unvaccinated.
It also includes hospitalisation and death rates, broken down by the number of doses received....
"What we are going to do is do a lot more on the vaccine effectiveness side and try and make people understand how effective the vaccine is....."
OK. But to be scientific, you have to know what the rate of vaccination in Scotland is. If 20% are unvaccinated and 16% of deaths are of the unvaccinated, then the unvaccinated are doing better than the vaccinated. On the other hand, if only 5% are unvaccinated and 16% of deaths are of the unvaccinated, they are doing about 3 times worse than the vaccinated. Just looking at the numbers doesn't tell you anything.
I do indeed appreciate it. Too bad all the brainwashed people can't read graphs...
We require strength to help these people. Until they wake up we are fighting for them.
