The Statistics Lie, Jon

@Richard_GP @Stat_O_Guy @drjanaway I see you came across tge person responsible for the article in the Mail in November claiming that there were no excess deaths twitter.com/jneill/status/…

Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?

‘We desperately need an inquiry into how and why the lethal idea of herd immunity was taken seriously.’ theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/m…

Parliament should champion honesty by owning up to mistakes. MPs often talk about rebuilding trust in politics. This is an easy way to show they mean it. We’ve written to the Speaker and other senior politicians 👉 fullfact.org/blog/2021/mar/…

US health insurance giant takes over 37 London GP practices, adding them to the 22 primary care services it already runs in the UK - and despite denials Matt Hancock's health white paper will make such privatisations by stealth more likely. Full story in new Private Eye, out now.

How - after nearly 150k deaths from or linked to Covid - can the government *possibly* not commit to a robust, independent, public inquiry? In medicine, we learn from our mistakes. They help us do better next time. There are 150k reasons why this inquiry needs to happen - now.

@FullFact @RossjournoClark Here's the chart as published by @DailyMailUK and created by Jon O'Donnell (@Stat_O_Guy) for @RossjournoClark, with clarifications by @gordonrlove and myself. And note @FullFact it was a week 44 chart, not 45. They replaced wk44 chart in wk46 but with wk45 data, not the latest.

The Mail used a misleading chart to give the false impression that weekly deaths were "barely any higher" than in previous years. Read our fact check here 👉 fullfact.org/health/mail-de… And you can find out how we take action to secure corrections here 👇 fullfact.org/about/interven…

@AThankless @pj_montgomery @jneill @FullFact @RossjournoClark @DailyMailUK @Stat_O_Guy FakeStatOGuy is a civil servant who freelanced that graph for the Daily Fail I'm assuming one of the two journos who put their name to the story saw FakeStatOGuy's graph on social media & thought it would be a good graph to include in their story as "evidence"

We're pleased that the Daily Mail have issued a correction in the print edition of today's paper. But it's not right that this has taken almost four months. We will continue to work hard to fight for timely and appropriate corrections and to hold the media to account.
