In the absence of daily media briefings, England’sChief Medical Officer has headed back to the Covid wards to get a better idea of the current situation.

Professor Chris Whitty, who was spotted working on the wards during Christmas weekend as cases and deaths spiked, has warned that young unvaccinated adults are “very sick” and urgedpeople not to delay getting their Covid vaccine.

He branded it “stark” that the majority of Covid patients have not had a jab. He said he had spent four weeks working on a Covid ward and told how many “regret delaying” their vaccination.

“The great majority of adults have been vaccinated,” he tweeted.“Four weeks working on a Covid ward makes stark the reality that the majority of our hospitalised Covid patients are unvaccinated and regret delaying.

“Some are very sick including young adults. Please don’t delay your vaccine”.

The great majority of adults have been vaccinated.

Please don't delay your vaccine.

— Professor Chris Whitty (@CMO_England) August 20, 2021

It follows the release of the latest data from Public Health England (PHE), which showed that 55 per cent of people in hospitals who had tested positive had not been vaccinated.

Meanwhile, 74 per cent of people under 50 in hospital with the variant had not been vaccinated.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
