HAI data was leaked & later through FOI.
Hospital numbers will only be accessed the same way now.
But we are assuming that all this data is still being accumulated despite not being reported. That is not a certainty.
You know how it goes, if you don't record/report then there really isn't a problem.

Sadly but not surprisingly, we have lost the reporting of Covid hospitalisation data in the change.
Another step towards normalising Covid (mixing it in with flu and RSV reports) and the loss of arguably the most reliable metric we had and the only data to be consistently reported for the duration.

TBH this is basically the whole thing. I could probably have just posted this one image and everyone who's paying attention would understand.

Pregnant nurses were tested while wearing a spirometry mask, with or without a small piece of N95 material taped over the hole.

The...tiny...little...hole.

Unfortunately, none of the authors, reviewers, funders, ethics board, editors or citing authors appear to have bothered to understand the core concepts, so it has zero real-world relevance.

It is hard to believe.
AUS aims for 95%+ vax rate for measles.
I think we have dropped below that but still in the 90s.
I have not seen confirmation that all current cases were unvaccinated and would like to know that they def are.
