Why is the government website misinformation?

Genuine question.

Thread by another poster just got deleted because (and I quote) Mumsnet said it was misinformation and misinterpretation.

It's the government's own website. Their own data.

Are Mumsnet saying we are not to believe data that is published on a gov.uk website??

Well it depends what their interpretation of the data was and whether the conclusion they came to was a misinformed one and not supported by the data

I never read the previous thread so have no idea of the contents or why it would be deleted

Obviously it isn't @CoastalWave

Taking a single table and attempting to use to to prove vaccines are ineffective (which goes against how the authors actually interpret the data) is. That poster keeps doing this and then never returning to the thread.

For example. I could paste in a table from a high quality, peer reviewed manuscript demonstrating children of single mothers are more likely to commit drug related offences.

I could then use that to say no-one unmarried should be allowed to have children, or I could give the correct, in context interpretation, with appropriate extra analyses and additional information as the authors did.
