2023-10-27 05:15:44 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The 10% jump in week 42 deaths in Scotland from 2019 to 2020 can't be attributed to vaccines. Covid vaccination in Scotland began in week 50 of 2020. https://www.gov.scot/news/first-covid-19-vaccinations-in-scotland-take-place/ The chart has a truncated y-axis, which exaggerates small differences. Deaths from 2020 to 2023 fluctuated ±1.3%. https://www.heap.io/blog/how-to-lie-with-data-visualization

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1717566986375548967

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
