GB News host Mark Steyn's Covid vaccine claims broke Ofcom rules
By Ian YoungsEntertainment reporter
GB News broke broadcasting rules when former presenter Mark Steyn made " potentially harmful and materially misleading" claims about Covid-19 vaccines, regulator Ofcom has said.
Last April, Steyn said there was " only one conclusion" from official data about the third Jab - That it led to a " significantly greater risk to infection, hospitalisation and death".
In its ruling, Ofcom said That was incorrect and " may have resulted in viewers making important decisions about their own health".
GB News said it was " disappointed" by the findings.
In his show, Steyn referred to data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to compare people who had the booster with those who had only received The First two vaccinations.
" His interpretation That there was 'only one conclusion' from this comparison. . was misleading because it did not take account of key factors such as the significant differences in age or health of The People in these two groups, " Ofcom said.
" The programme also failed to reflect That the UKHSA reports made clear That the Raw Data should not be used to draw conclusions about vaccine efficacy, due to the biases inherent in the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. "
Ofcom said The Group who had been boosted " included far larger numbers of older people" and Steyn failed to take into account " the fact That older people are more likely to die or be hospitalised than younger people".
'No genuine challenge'The regulator said it took into account the " definitive" way The Canadian broadcaster and author presented his conclusion, and the " absence of adequate counterweight or genuine challenge".
Ofcom said broadcasters are " free to transmit programmes which may be considered controversial and challenging, or which question statistics or other evidence produced by governments or other official sources".
" It can clearly be in The Public interest to do so, " it added. " However, with this editorial freedom comes an obligation to ensure That , when portraying factual matters, audiences are not materially misled. "
In response, GB News said its role was " to ask tough questions, point out inconsistencies in government policy, and hold public bodies to account when the facts justify it".
" Mark Steyn 's programme did exactly That , " its statement added. " We support his right to challenge the Status Quo by examining the small but evident risks of the third Covid booster.
" As news stories in The Last week have highlighted, it was prescient to question whether the government was candid with all the facts. It is an important story in The Public interest. "
Steyn " drew a reasonable conclusion from the facts" but " drew only one conclusion" GB News continued.
'Several valid interpretations'" We accept That the data offered several valid interpretations, and he should have made this clear. Had he done so, The Story would have remained within the wide freedoms That Ofcom's Broadcast Code allows. "
The overwhelming weight of evidence, from A Number of different independent teams of researchers, has found That Covid vaccines' benefits far outweigh any known harms.
Steyn left GB News three months ago amid a dispute over Contract Terms he claimed could have made him personally liable for Ofcom fines.
Ofcom said it was not imposing a fine or other sanction.
Steyn's programme is also the subject of a second Ofcom investigation into comments made by a guest, author and journalist Naomi Wolf , about the vaccine on 4 October.
A Twitter account run by his team posted a picture of the Ofcom office with the caption " The Ministry of Truth Rules" linking to a statement headlined " Steyn found guilty! " which also said: " Mark intends to appeal this and get it before a real court. "
