This seems to have rattled a few cages, so I'm reposting.

In light of Daily Express today using Karl Sikora as it's go-to 'medical expert', this from January 2020 ...

"The Right Wing's Favourite 'Crazy Scientist' - Professor Karol Sikora"

farrightwatch.net/2020/06/the-ri…

Sikora :

"Coronavirus might just 'fizzle' out'" (No-one else thought so)

"There will be no second wave" (after the first wave. We're now on the 3rd Wave.)

"We'll be 'virtually back to normal' by August" (We weren't)

"A vaccine will not be ready by Xmas" (It was)

"Restrictions should be eased for the festive period" (Led to increased infections in January)

Sikora has literally attained the previously thought unachievable - managing to get almost everything wrong on Covid.

For the rest of Sikora's grand titles :

'Fellow of The Foundation for Integrated Health'.
'Chair of the Faculty of Integrated Medicine'.
'Member of the College of Medicine'.

None of these are health bodies - they are all Lobby Groups for US Private Health Bodies.

In summary, the right wing media love him.

And despite being wrong, so very wrong, on almost everything on Covid, they still have his number on speed-dial, because they don't want an 'expert opinion', they want someone they agree with.
