During a debate on vaccine safety a number of MPs made claims that were misleading or missing vital context, all of which are now on the official record. We’ve looked into what they said 👇
The Paul Ehrlich Institute, responsible for vaccine safety in Germany, found that one in 5,000 people was seriously affected after a vaccination.This is misleading.The German health ministry did mistakenly tweet, with reference to the Paul Ehrlich Institute, that one in 5,000 people had been affected by a serious side effect following a Covid-19 vaccine earlier this year.
The MHRA, who published it, have explicitly said it should not be applied to the Covid-19 vaccines as there is a much greater awareness of the scheme.The claim that the vaccine was 95% vaccine effective is misleading as it only refers to relative risk. The absolute risk reduction is less than 1%.This is missing the context that relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction measure two different things.
