@MaajidNawaz @lbc is speaking exceptionally dangerous pseudoscience nonsense on LBC today. He's picked up a barmy theory about community escape or some other nonsense suggesting that viruses can somehow self-select for the most dangerous strain as a result of vaccinating everyone
He's mixing concept of bacterial resistance with viral vaccination. The distinction between the two is a reason to turn off the radio since resistance in bacteria comes through treatment whereas resistance in viruses come from mutation due to lack of treatment (very simplified)
This man has a national platform. And yet he's turning out the sort of nonsense that you hear Steve Bannon in the US and all the other anti-vax deniers throwing out. under the cover of using the word May he compare two concepts where 1 is 99% certain and his other is 1%
With Intellectual arrogance he uses l volume control to silence any expert view who disagrees in so he can maintain his curious nonsense on air. The man is a national danger and we should not have anyone with a platform like he has giving poor public health advice
