A thread of (hopefully) useful links which I plan to pin to the top of my profile for ease of access

@prwright55 @jneill @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan People with ONS in their name are 'tweeting statisticians' for the ONS. Despite still working for the ONS I've taken a step back from tweeting for work. However I try to respond to help people where I can

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan That wasn't my intention, so I'm sorry that is what you read from it. Safety had been monitored by MHRA

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan I was answering people's tweets, yes. My tweet was aiming to refer to the fact that this release was looking at the impact of the COVID vaccine on COVID-19 mortality. The vaccine wouldn't decrease every cause. MHRA looked at the vaccine safety and it's wider impact

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan Yeah I produced tweets on the release to help people understand the context.

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@YellowJ97022132 @prwright55 @Kevin_McKernan I didn't work on the vaccination release so won't be aware of conversations. MHRA will lead on vaccine safety

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan I no longer work in health statistics, so if you want any more information then the https://t.co/CE80cUTejz inbox will be able to provide further responses

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan I'm saying you can see the rate of mortality in each group using the statistics previously mentioned. We don't do excess deaths by vaccination status because there isn't a comparator

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan The vaccination status data gives you rate of mortality in the vaccinated and unvaccinated population. You can use that to see which categories have the highest rate of mortality.

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan I still work for ONS, I'm just not an official tweeting statistician. I'm not sure what data you are referring to

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@prwright55 @YellowJ97022132 @Kevin_McKernan The release has deaths by vaccination status and by the number of doses, plus time from dose. We don't release information on the brand of vaccination

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@GarnerStep29201 Sorry, I'm not sure what question you are asking? Medical professionals don't get incentives for putting certain things on the death certificate, the certificate is a legal document

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

This five-part Q and A thread answers questions I regularly receive on Twitter in relation to mortality and #COVID19. If I haven’t answered a question you have please tweet it to me.

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@YellowJ97022132 @prwright55 @Kevin_McKernan Sorry, what information are you after?

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@iXeno @ConcernedC90833 @ONS Unfortunately there isn't anything I can do about it other than draw peoples attention to the fact it isn't me, we wouldn't have had access to that information and it doesn't appear to have come from the ONS

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@iXeno @ConcernedC90833 @ONS Multiple people have access to the https://t.co/CE80cUTejz inbox, but it wouldn't come up with our names. That isn't our signature style and it's 'Office for' not 'Office of'.

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@Jean__Fisch @OS51388957 @ONS I'll flag with the team on Monday. If you put Correction needed in the subject then they may pick it up before the 45 days

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@HexieHex @JaydenUddoman @AOC4 @DannyT41449032 @SwaledaleMutton @ABridgen @ClareCraigPath @hartgroup_org @ONS can you help @HexieHex please?

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@HexieHex @JaydenUddoman @AOC4 @DannyT41449032 @SwaledaleMutton @ABridgen @ClareCraigPath @hartgroup_org Because I worked in health analysis during the pandemic

[Sarah Caul @Sarah__Caul]

@HexieHex @JaydenUddoman @AOC4 @DannyT41449032 @SwaledaleMutton @ABridgen @ClareCraigPath @hartgroup_org That isn't what I said. The regulator stated it would be more useful to focus on other aspects.

We update our releases, making it clear why we have made changes and how to access the original.

We do issue correction on tweets but I'm not sure of the ONS social media policies.
