Claims on social media that 19.2 million people declined the Covid-19 vaccine are wrong. Many of them weren’t offered it. And there aren’t enough people in the UK for this to be true anyway.
We can see that the 63 million population figure is too high, because the population of England was much lower, atSo how many people haven’t been vaccinated? Abouthad received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine by September 2022. The total population of the UK, according to mid-2021 estimates by the ONS, was about 67 million. The difference between these two figures is about 13 million people.
Not all of these people “declined” the vaccine, however, because about 3.6 million were under five years old, and were therefore not routinely offered it. Around five million of the remainder would have been aged 5-11 and not in a clinical risk group, and were therefore given only a “The post claims the numbers have now flipped and “17 million are saying yes [to the vaccine] instead of no”.
The post was published on 23 January and features a screenshot of NHS data on how many people in England have had an autumn Covid-19 vaccine booster. As of

Acute phase characteristics and long-term complications of pulmonary embolism in COVID-19 compared to non-COVID-19 cohort: a large single-centre study - BMC Pulmonary MedicineBackground To compare the severity of pulmonary embolism (PE) and the long-term complications between patients with and without COVID-19, and to investigate whether the tools for risk stratification of death are valid in this population. Methods We retrospectively included hospitalized patients with PE from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2022. Comparisons for acute episode characteristics, risk stratification of the PE, outcomes, and long-term complications were made between COVID and non-COVID patients. Results We analyzed 116 (27.5%) COVID patients and 305 (72.4%) non-COVID patients. In patients with COVID-19, the traditional risk factors for PE were absent, and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis was lower. COVID patients showed significantly higher lymphocyte count, lactate dehydrogenase, lactic acid, and D-dimer levels. COVID patients had PE of smaller size (12.3% vs. 25.5% main pulmonary artery, 29.8% vs. 37.1% lobar, 44.7% vs. 29.5% segmental and 13.2% vs. 7.9% subsegmental, respectively; p | 0.001), less right ventricular dysfunction (7.7% vs. 17.7%; p = 0.007) and higher sPESI score (1.66 vs. 1.11; p | 0.001). The need for mechanical ventilation was significantly higher in COVID patients (8.6% vs. 1.3%; p | 0.001); However, the in-hospital death was less (5.2% vs. 10.8%; p = 0.074). The incidence of long-term complications was lower in COVID cohort (p | 0.001). PE severity assessed by high sPESI and intermediate and high-risk categories were independently associated with in-hospital mortality in COVID patients. Conclusion The risk of in-hospital mortality and the incidence of long-term complications were lower in COVID-19. The usual tools for risk stratification of PE are valid in COVID patients.
