    With less ill thought out action, we'd have been more like Sweden, so less deaths than at present, not more. .

    It's the many things like this that make me believe the swab test is too unreliable to be believed. In any form of testing it is imperative that the results are consistent, precise and repeatable. If they aren't, the test is invalid. .

    Said in March 2020: Richard Horton, editor of the medical journal The Lancet, warned that the U.K. was “playing roulette with the public.” He said quarantines and shutting borders are urgently needed because there are so many unknowns about the virus. Horton said it remains uncertain if the...

    "Then, the United Kingdom authorized emergency use of a vaccine made by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford that had earlier caused perplexity after researchers reported efficacy results that combined trials with different populations, dosing of shots, and intervals between the prime and...

    But Michael Gove is a Minister of the Crown, so you as a subject of the Crown should perhaps be more respectful. Thus illustrating how our responses need not always conform to an accepted norm, to medical "experts" as well as ministers. These are after all the experts who supported herd...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As Oyster posted: "I do put quite some reliance on some experts, sometimes. But am very wary and careful to consider what they say." And as I've posted above, expediency or even just plain error does sometimes take precedence in expert utterances, so I take a questioning approach to everything...

    Even if it's not, under the 28 day ruling plus expediency it's likely they'd often be put down as Covid deaths, so no problem ! .

    Indeed, in a discussion with Zlatan when he said none of the scientists ever supported Herd Immunity (and of course they don't now), I didn't bother to reply. But I have many examples of the government's advising scientists all supporting herd immunity that I can post, including the chief...

    You are doing nothing of the sort, you are being led by the propagandists and have become one yourself in posting your amateur commentary on their utterances. .

    I saw your post and didn't bother to reply at the time. What you'd missed was the microbiology report the same day that the AZ first jab doesn't seem to work well beyond 21 days on the over 80s, so not so good on the worst affected. I'm with Woosh on this, the Pfizer is clearly the vaccine of...

    Yes you can. I watched a TV feature on a baker whose been specialising in sourdough bread for decades and he keeps his starter going indefinitely by feeding it, but the baking must be regular. If you take break from it the starter needs to be dried for storage, same principle as dried yeast...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think quantitatively it's clear that it overestimates, and I firmly believe by a very large margin. Only a few of the numerous deaths are lingering ones in ICUs since the 28 day ruling applies across the board, deaths at home, in care homes and anywhere in hospitals. It's easy to blame...

    A study of people in the Orthodox Jewish Community in London and requested by them has shown that their Covid-19 infection rate has been consistently far higher then elsewhere in London throughout and one of the world's highest rates. They have 65% of their population infected, rising to 75%...
