Several misleading posts have used recent data from the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics to falsely claim that vaccinated people are at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 than unvaccinated people. The data showed that, among people who tested positive for COVID-19, vaccinated people were more likely to have Omicron while unvaccinated people were more likely to have other COVID-19 variants. The analysis also found that unvaccinated people were more likely to contract COVID-19 and far more likely to develop severe illness than fully vaccinated people.
