A few days ago Dr Hillary Jones, whilst being interviewed on Lorraine Kelly, claimed:
90% of people in hospital are unvaccinated”.
🚨🚨 @reallorraine - “That is a really a figure we really need to concentrate on, 90% of people in hospital have not been vaccinated”
➡️ A figure to focus on because its factually incorrect from @DrHilaryJones

Similarly, last week, Kevin Maguire claimed on Jeremy Vine’s show that:
The unvaccinated are filling hospital beds, they’re in ICUs taking up precious resources – there are hospital waiting lists going up because there are so many unvaccinated people in hospitals”

Television presenters and news headlines across the United Kingdom have commonly referred to hospitals being filled with unvaccinated covid19 patients.
As if it could ever be considered evidence of anything, an anonymous “doctor” wrote a piece for The Guardian, which he filled with nameless anecdotal evidence, and emotively headlined:
ICU is full of the unvaccinated – my patience with them is wearing thin
This claim is regularly used as an argument for vaccine mandates, and/or unvaxxed-only lockdowns.
But is it true?
In a word, no.
ICUs are not “full” of unvaccinated covid patients, they’re not even full of covid cases. In fact, they’re not even full at all.
As of last week, NHS England’s own bed statistics reported that England has 4330 available critical care beds, of which 894 (21%) are being used by Covid patients, 2608 (60%) non-Covid patients and 828 (19%) were empty.
So, England’s critical care beds are not even 90% full, let alone 90% full of unvaccinated covid patients.
But let’s be charitable and assume these people misspoke or communicated their point badly. Let’s assume they meant 90% of covid hospitalisations are unvaccinated.
That, at least, is true right? Wrong.
The actual number is 35.4%
According to the UK’s Health Security Agency data (page 31 of this document) 6639 patients were admitted to hospital “with Covid” in the weeks 44-47 of this year. Of those 6639, 2355 were unvaccinated.
So unvaccinated people do not even make up the majority of Covid cases, let alone the majority of ICU admissions in general.
So, even going by the official statistics – which we’ve previously shown are routinely inflated to make the “pandemic” appear frightening – the claim is incorrect.
And that doesn’t even account for the fact that, according to Public Health England, a “Covid hospitalisation” is anyone admitted to hospital for any reason within 28 days of a positive Covid test. This could include people who are admitted to hospital for something else and then happen to test positive while they are there.
We could also discuss the tiny number of hospital beds available in this country, which has more than halved since the 1980s, whilst the population has exploded in that time.
But that’s really an article for another day.
depends on what the meaning of the word IS, is...
you have to parse EVERY WORD comes out of their mouth
Yes, it’s true because only the unvaccinated survive past day two.

In my part of Florida:
“Total COVID inpatients today: 18 (17 yesterday)
COVID patients in ICU: 3 (4 yesterday)
% Unvaccinated Inpatients: 76% (updated weekly on Wednesdays)”

Last weeek there was about nine cases in the ER.
Most of these patients are given anti-bodies as treatment and they're sent home.
It's nothing like it was last year. Last year was tough.
I keep the place clean and sanitized. I'm so sick of having to put on the damned ‘’moon suit’’ all the time.
The filthy virus came from China and the f’ing ppe we wear is made in China!
Let’s see; they’ve lied about everything else for the past couple of years. What makes you think they’d be truthful about this?
So, set them up. Send in undercovers with respiratory symptoms and see how many are falsely diagnosed with Covid.
The ICUs could be full of CoupFlu patients due to nosocomial spread thanks to vaxxed employees acting as superspreaders.
Utter horse cap. You are using words bigger then your little brain can handle
Oh, poor baby. Did I say something to trigger your delicate nature? Suggest you grow some thicker skin, Buckwheat. Or perhaps you’re one of the dreaded FR Branch Covidian mask NAZIs. 😷
But, on second thought, that’s actually a great idea. Unfortunately, I work for a living and lack the personal time, financial resources and medical knowledge to pull that off.
However, why not float your idea to James O’Keefe and see if he wants to give it a shot. If not, hope you won’t mind when I send it to him and don’t give you any credit for it.
There may very well be thousands of un-jabbed people filling the hospitals and ICU wards, but that does not mean they are in the hospital because of covid.
It baffles me that
No one catches “the Flu”
Anymore!?!
WTF.
2 yrs to Flatten the Curve.
God Help Us to
Break this Witchcraft
That is destroying our Country.
Buckwheat? Where did that come from?
Sorry my suggestion was so offensive to you!
