Lies, damn lies, and Fenton/Campbell misrepresentation of ONS statistics

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) updated their mortality by vaccination status data on 21st February 2023, confirming that mortality rates are higher in the unvaccinated than the vaccinated.

So, as with the previous data releases from the ONS, the newly released data shows the exact opposite of what you expect if antivaxxers were correct, and vaccines were causing excess mortality. So, have antivaxxers accepted they are wrong or have they doubled down on their nonsense? As you may have guessed, it’s the latter.

Antivaxxers have come up with a number of creative ways to cast doubt on the ONS data. None of them make any sense, but they are creative. And, it just so happens that Professor Norman Fenton has covered a lot of them in a recent interview on Dr John Campbell’s channel.

In this video Dr Susan Oliver and Cindy the dog, cover the latest ONS statistics and explain why the claims of Fenton and Campbell are wrong.
