In an episode last April, host Steyn quoted official data from the UK Health Security Agency to say that the vaccines caused higher infection, hospitalization and death rates, but four viewers complained that these comments were “dangerous” and drew “fatally flawed conclusions.”
Ofcom, however, said in today’s ruling he had failed to take into account other factors such as the significant differences in age or health of the people in the two groups. GB News defended its presenter, stating that the programs’ “purpose is unmistakably to challenge the status quo and question official narratives” but that it has “at no stage adopted an ‘anti-vax’ approach and that has always been made clear to the audience.”
Separately, his former show is being investigated by the regulator following an interview with author Naomi Wolf in which she claimed women were being harmed by Covid-19 vaccines as part of an effort “to destroy British civil society”. Ofcom received more than 400 claims about Wolf’s comments.
