UK's Office of National Statistics admits (without explanation) the number of deaths were about 30% too high, hospitalizations about 50% too high

It is the darnedest thing.  The UK government flat out admits it has been lying to the public, but in such a bland manner that it is not at all clear why the official government numbers suddenly shifted.  And they didn't shift a little.  Covid hospitalizations declined by 50%.

The way this is being presented is like something out of "1984."  Yesterday we were at war with Oceania. Today we are war with EastAsia.  Yet no one acknowledges that anything has changed. The reporters never asked, "Why?" Why were there so many overcounts in Covid cases and hospitalizations?  Why have you decided to admit this now?  Will there continue to be overcounts?

The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that 23 per cent of coronavirus deaths registered are now people who have died "with" the virus rather than "from" an infection...

Daily death figures by "date of death" reveal that Britain has had no more than 28 deaths a day since the beginning of April, even though the government-announced deaths have been as high as 60...

Likewise, Oxford University has calculated that the number of people in hospital with an active Covid infection is likely to be around half the current published daily figure. Tuesday's official figure showed there were 2,537 Covid patients in hospital, with 230 new admissions.
However, despite the positive statistics, Boris Johnson issued a warning over the lifting of lockdown as he said it was the restrictions, not the vaccine rollout, that had predominantly kept Covid numbers low...

UPDATE April 21: from Reuters

UK's Johnson warns lockdown, not vaccines, behind drop in COVID deathsLONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned on Tuesday that the rapid drop in COVID-19 deaths was largely down to a three-month lockdown, not the vaccination programme, and that cases would rise once again as restrictions ease.
He forgot to mention that a good portion of the drop was his government's reallocation of cases!  Things are better, things are worse.  More lockdown, less lockdown.  More shots, less shots. Israelis have been told to prepare their children their shoulders for adult booster shots and initial series for their children.

Have you seen this site?
https://vaccineimpact.com/2021/5365-dead-238949-injuries-european-database-of-adverse-drug-reactions-for-covid-19-vaccines/

Their report through March 27, 2021 lists 5,365 deaths and 238,949 injuries following injections of four experimental COVID-19 shots:

COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE MODERNA (CX-024414)
COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE PFIZER-BIONTECH
COVID-19 VACCINE ASTRAZENECA (CHADOX1 NCOV-19)
COVID-19 VACCINE JANSSEN (AD26.COV2.S)
A Health Impact News subscriber in Europe ran the reports for each of the four COVID-19 shots we are including here. This subscriber has volunteered to do this, and it is a lot of work to tabulate each reaction with injuries and fatalities, since there is no place on the EudraVigilance system we have found that tabulates all the results.

Hence, by the time we publish these, the stats are already a week old and new stats are already available.

Here is the summary data through March 27, 2021.
