Public Health Scotland say covid data is being misused deliberately by anti-vaccination campaigners
This afternoon.
Via Glasgow Times:
Public Health Scotland will stop publishing data on covid deaths and hospitalisations by vaccination status – over concerns it is misrepresented by anti-vaxx campaigners.
The public health watchdog announced the change in policy in its most recent covid statistical report, saying the frequency and content of the data would be reviewed.
Instead, officials will focus on publishing more robust and complex vaccine effectiveness data.
PHS officials said significant concerns about the data being misused deliberately by anti-vaccination campaigners is behind the move.

Misused?
Or just ‘used’?
Surely data is data…… misrepresentation? Well they are the experts after all……………..
That pesky data. That’ll learn it!
Data… only as good as the question you ask…
“Where is it?” being the first one.
I can see why, the numbers made for a grin assertion of ‘vaccine’ effectiveness. More likely to catch C-19, more likely to die etc. If they get rid of the numbers, officials can make up any nonsense they want.
Exactly the misrepresentation they are talking about, well done.
3X more likely to die if ‘vaccinated’ – how is that a misrepresentation? Experts say..
JUST SHUT UP, RIGHT?
Sturgeon has proved herself to be very much of the black moustache brigade, which in turn is becoming increasingly unpopular, especially as England is so far ahead.
Whether that impacts on the SNP’s support of independence remains to be seen- but it expect it will.
