@lyne_ian Thread.
The author of this peer-reviewed work is Prof John Ioannidis of Stanford University. On 17 March 2020 Ioannidis called the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic a "once-in-a-century evidence fiasco". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ioan…

@lyne_ian Also in March 2020 Prof Ioannidis and colleagues tried to organize a meeting at the White House where they would caution President Donald Trump against "shutting down the country for [a] very long time and jeopardizing so many lives in doing this." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ioan…

@lyne_ian Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx@NextRevFNC was chief strategist to PM David Cameron 2010-2012.
He worked at Stanford University and here tells how Ioannidis and colleagues were suspended for 6 months in an attempt to silence them.

@rowandean et al who have always asserted that #lockdown has NOTHING TO DO WITH #COVID19 VIRUS have been dismissed as "conspiracy theorists", their views labelled "misinformation".
Real purpose of this totalitarianism is to "fight the climate emergency".
Hancock was a protégé of George Osborne for whom he worked 2005-2010. Elected an MP in 2010 he had several junior (Minister of State) posts in the Cameron govt. And of course was a Remainer.
@BillKronoss@CatrionaColllns@FatEmperor The same month, Jan 2018, Hancock gave his speech in Davos ‘Reimagining policy making for the fourth industrial revolution’.
@michael53021960 It is wrong to lump all "anti-vaxxers" together as weidos and "conspiracy theorists". There have been scientifically based criticisms of vaccination ever since the UK Compulsory Vaccination Act of 1853. theothersideofvaccines.com/2019/05/a-brie…

@michael53021960 The case of Dr Andrew Wakefield is "the episode which defines the stupidity of the ‘anti-vaxxers.’" But a detailed look at this case suggests that Wakefield’s "professional assassination" should encourage us to be more sceptical about vaccines. 2/n
@michael53021960 Surely we need to ask why in 2017 the proposed screening of Dr Wakefield's film "Vaxxed" by the European Forum for Vaccine Vigilance (EFVV) was ***not allowed*** in London, Brussels, or Paris? change.org/p/european-par…
