Two homes, the one in Sidmouth has had 9 deaths and 2 members of staff arrested. At one point there were 10 more residents in hospital and 1 member of staff.
The other home is in Exmouth and they also had 9 die. No investigation that I know of.
The Sidmouth home said most residents had the vaccine, the Exmouth one said all the residents had the vaccine.
I wasn't being hysterical, that is very rude. Dismissing the truth as being hysterical is unnecessary. Or do you think we can only talk about positive things? Propaganda I suppose you'd call it.
So adding the two together comes to 18.
Thank you for clarifying that you were referring to two separate cases.
I am not “dismissing the truth”, nor am I alleging anything about these deaths being propaganda (propaganda for what for a start?).
I don’t think it’s rude to suggest we avoid hysteria. I think it’s important instead acknowledge to the facts without jumping to conclusions about overall vaccine effectiveness. There are two incidences in the same vicinity (so again, possible faulty batch/wrong storage), police, CQC and social services investigations are underway and not complete. Let’s wait for the findings and reserve judgment. It’s sad, especially as there has clearly been human error or neglect play a role in this, but look on a global scale or even just a national scale and at least try and look at the data.
Two care homes, 30 minutes apart.
As opposed to thousands up and down the U.K. where this simply isn’t happening. Why aren’t we hearing of huge symptomatic outbreaks and deaths happening amongst vaccinated service users and carers in care homes worldwide? It’s strange. It’s an oddity. That’s why it’s so heavily reported. It flies in the face of the on the ground success of the vaccine programme in care homes throughout the U.K. (and worldwide). And that’s why I think it’s important not to fixate on two isolated cases in the same area which are still under investigation.
