On the brighter side, numbers are extremely small, so margin of error is giant

This should be the headline but that wouldn’t sell

The thing is actual bad news is suppressed. How many people knew that the AstraZennica vaccine is only 10-22% effective against the beta variant of Covid 19, and that countries have had to send shipments of the AZ vaccine back because of this? Probably no one, unless you religiously follow my comments on here. Like legitimate terrible scenarios have happened, but it’s actually scary for the media to report on that instead of fear mongering over nothing, so they won’t, in order to keep the illusion up.

That’s not why they sent back shipments, at least not everyone, they sent them back because everyone is spooked by the side effects, which was anything but suppressed. If anything all media in Europe was screaming about them 24/7 and then complaining that people don’t get vaccinated.

Eh, it’s not a headline, just eyes are drawn to 600 % figure, when it’s likely 200±40 percent, from more populated statistics (from the most affected areas, but still), over all uk it’s 40 percent increase, which is kinda bad for their vaccination rate

Also idk how many regions are in England, depending on the size and number of regions. When case numbers drop to a small enough value it’s very easy to find regions which locally gave “large” spikes.

Yeah, but over whole England it’s +40 percent which is kinda a big jump
