Public Health Agency hides the fact that the spread of infection is greatest among vaccinated people
Published 19 January 2022 at 20.34
In its presentations, the Public Health Agency creates the impression that unvaccinated people are infected by covid-19 to a greater extent than vaccinated people. But Fria Tiders review of the agency's internal data shows that the relationship is in fact the opposite: the vaccinated part of the population spreads the most infection - per person.

In this second graph, which does not mask the evolution of the spread of infection by using a rolling average, it is clear that the spread of infection among vaccinated people is now higher than among unvaccinated people.

At the Public Health Agency's press briefing on 13 January, a graph entitled "Confirmed cases of covid-19 per 100,000 population" was shown. It is also included in the Agency's report for week 1.

The graph contains two curves, one for the vaccinated and one for the unvaccinated. The curves give the impression that in week 1 of this year more cases of covid-19 were reported among the unvaccinated than among the vaccinated.

When the graph was shown at the press conference, Anders Tegnell commented as follows:

"This curve shows that among those we find now, we find quite a few also among the vaccinated."

The authorities' message was clear - at the moment, the spread of infection is greater among the unvaccinated, even though quite a few vaccinated people are also infected.

But in reality, it's just the opposite, Fria Tider can reveal.

Fria Tider has accessed the data used to generate the graph Tegnell presented. The figures show that more cases of covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants were reported among vaccinated than among unvaccinated people. In week 1, there were 1,301 cases per 100,000 vaccinated and 1,247 cases per 100,000 unvaccinated.

Thus, the spread of infection was highest among vaccinated persons in week 1.

The Public Health Agency's graph gave the opposite impression as it did not show the number of cases reported week by week, but instead gave a "rolling average" for the last three weeks. The point on the curve in the graph that looked like it applied to week 1 this year was in fact an average based on data for weeks 51 and 52 last year and week 1 this year.

The fact that it was a rolling average that was reproduced in the graph was clear from the text next to the figure, but no one from the Public Health Agency explained what a "rolling average" was and there was no indication that the assembled journalists understood the implications of using such an average.

The agency never said what the actual spread of infection was in week 1.

Fria Tider has put a number of questions to the Public Health Agency about the data it presented at the press briefing and in its latest weekly report. Among other things, we want to know why the Public Health Agency has not told us that the spread of infection is higher among those who have been vaccinated, and whether the agency will report the figures per week openly during its press conference tomorrow, 20 January.

Perhaps the most important question, however, is why Public Health is advocating that the freedom of unvaccinated people should be curtailed through the use of vaccination cards when the spread of covid-19 is greater among vaccinated than unvaccinated people.

No answer has yet been given.
