The latest study of the ultimate Control Chamber (NIK), published on Tuesday, points to many irregularities in the activities of the Ministry of wellness and the Chief Sanitary Inspector (GIS) during the alleged pandemic. NIK points out the deficiency of reliable data that could justify the introduction of restrictions and the many errors in the recorded vaccination and illness data.
No reliable data to introduce illegal restrictions
According to the NIK report, the Minister of wellness did not supply the government with concrete and reliable data to justify the introduction of various illegal restrictions, specified as restrictions on freedom of movement. In the period up to 19 May 2023, the Council of Ministers issued 101 regulations in violation of the law concerning restrictions on the state of epidemic and emergency. In 97 cases, the Minister of wellness was the author of draft regulations. Unfortunately, six of the 8 cases of justification included in the projects were general and did not supply reliable data to support the proposed solutions.
Irregularities in data recording
The NIK audit showed many deficiencies and errors in the recorded data, especially in the case of names, GTIN numbers and COVID-19 vaccine series numbers. Mistakes in vaccine names have been reported in more than 1.6 million cases, in GTIN numbers in about 70,000, and in series numbers in about 55,000 cases. Among those registered in the vaccination system, as at 15 June 2023, there were about 58 million entries. In addition, unreliable information besides active vaccination of deceased persons and alerts in the EWP strategy concerning hospitalisation of deceased persons.
No collection of illness data
GIS has not systematically collected data on clinical symptoms of COVID-19 since 2 May 2020, which importantly limited the anticipation of predicting the effects of alleged epidemics. Doctors and laboratory diagnoses were exempted from reporting on suspicion or diagnosis of COVID-19, resulting in a deficiency of complete data on the course of the disease.
Problems with ICT systems
The Ministry of wellness did not have documented analyses of the request for fresh ICT systems. The construction and maintenance of fresh systems, specified as the National registry of Patients from COVID-19 (KRP) or the Distribution strategy of Vaccinations (SDS), took almost PLN 54 million and the company's choice to make the SDS strategy was made without a documented marketplace recognition. The SEPIS system, designed for GIS, besides proved incomplete and unreliable, which undermined its usefulness in managing the epidemic.
Unreliable data on post-vaccination adverse reactions
Data on adverse reactions following COVID-19 vaccinations submitted by GIS to KPRM were unreliable and inconsistent with SEPIS data. GIS reported little severe NOP cases than reported by the National Institute of Public wellness PZH.
Conclusion
The NIK study shows serious deficiencies in information management and decision-making during the alleged COVID-19 pandemic. deficiency of reliable data, many errors in records and ineffective ICT systems have made the fight against the pandemic much more difficult. It is essential to take corrective action to avoid akin problems in the future and to manage crises more effectively.
