Differentiating post-vaccination side-effects alone from early COVID-19 was challenging, with a sensitivity in identification of individuals testing positive of 0.6 at best. Most of these individuals did not have fever, persistent cough, or anosmia/dysosmia, requisite symptoms for accessing UK testing; and many only had systemic symptoms commonly seen post-vaccination in individuals negative for SARS-CoV-2 (headache, myalgia, and fatigue).
Interpretation
Post-vaccination symptoms per se cannot be differentiated from COVID-19 with clinical robustness, either using symptom profiles or machine-derived models. Individuals presenting with systemic symptoms post-vaccination should be tested for SARS-CoV-2 or quarantining, to prevent community spread.
Wow. Their conclusion didn't even come close to matching their own data. I'm guessing this will become a very common tactic as the actual science diverges ever further from the desired science. Then media and NPCs can point to the "conclusions" without ever refuting the numbers. Sorta like how leftists don't watch actual trials - just the msm anchors reporting on trials.
