1/5 Hey @JimmySecUK I'm unblocking @DanKaszeta. If he unblocks me I'd challenge him to answer four questions.
How could two physiologically very different people (old man, young woman) collapse almost simultaneously, hours after alleged exposure to "military grade nerve agent"?

2/5 The medics who treated the Skripals told the BBC they didn't suspect/treat for nerve agent poisoning for 36hrs+, and just gave them generic care for overdose. But the Skripals had significant exposure to an agent allegedly far more lethal even than VX.
How did they survive?

3/5 In one of his articles, Kaszeta writes: "It is clear the Skripals received serious and relevant medical interventions." Isn't this "relevance" a lie or omission if, as they said, the medics treating them didn't suspect nerve agent poisoning for 36hrs+?
4/5 One of Kaszeta's suggestions has been the Skripals were saved because paramedics gave them a small dose of atropine for suspected bradycardia, as large doses of atropine can also be used to treat organophosphate poisoning.
Does he really believe that's how they were saved?

5/5 I am not a specialist in these areas but others have been kind enough to respond to me here and I may call on them in the discussion. These include an expert in emergency medicine, a leading organic chemist, and a resident of Salisbury who analysed the events in great detail.
