Public Health Scotland has announced it will no longer publish information about deaths and hospitalizations related to Covid-19 vaccination status, citing concerns the data is being “misused” by anti-vaccination campaigners.
Scotland’s public health watchdog announced the sudden change in policy last week in its most recent Covid-19 report, saying the frequency and content of the data would be reviewed.
Instead, officials will focus on publishing more complex data that promotes the idea of vaccine effectiveness.
Remarkably, Public Health Scotland officials admitted they will no longer publish the vaccination status of deaths in the country due to the activities of anti-vaccination campaigners.
The report published last week will be the last weekly publication to include data which includes information on death rates, broken down by the number of doses received.
