#r4today Justin Webb, "Isn't it just inevitable this year or next that everyone is going to end up getting infected at some point and we just need to accept that"
Then goes on to question why government would need to produce guidelines for workplaces

Switch to @LBC reporter is outside a train station to ask ppl if they will be pleased with ditching the "dreaded mask"

Onto GMB , Madeley asks a respected scientist if she wants to keep masks because she is a communist, repeating RW rags attack lines

Yesterday LBC we had Tominey saying she would have a mask burning party platforming Henegan as the expert on masks without questioning, then a hostile interview with Michie for suggesting more ppl need vaccinating first

Rachel Johnson also last night claiming only ultra remainers want to keep any kind of safety measures unlike freedom loving Brexitiers

As for the Express, @IndependentSage plot to keep people in lockdown for ever!
If we followed iSAGE recommendations we would have had less lockdown.

Getting quite alarmed at the amount of hate media are directing at certain scientists for questioning gov policy.

On Jeremy Vine, scientist Deepti is balanced someone from Academy of Ideas, Claire Fox's think tank, which a Head who wanted to ban mask use is now under financial investigation for diverting thousands of pounds of school funds to the think tank.

Lyons of Academy of ideas questions if long covid is an issue, "much of it might be psychosymptomatic and its such a smal % of people.

BBC news today, presenter interrupts scientist to claim there is no evidence.

Why are the ppl presenting the news so terribly informed?
I get the feeling MSM isn't much of a meritocracy, this can't be the best our country has to offer

Now we have Nawaz on LBC against explaining why Henegan is the world authority on masks and that they don't report, apparently his Nov2020 paper is the highest quality evidence in the world. Nawaz says if you don't agree with him you are an anti science, remainer

IDS now "there's a lack of balance between fear of covid and fear of losing their jobs, ppl were too scared of covid, removing furlough will restore the balance to where it should be. Need the balance of fear and the balance of freedom."

Fear is freedom
Or
Freedom to fear
?

Nawaz "Stop the tribalism, stop the insults and smears, let's your evidence, even if it comes from someone from SAGE who is a communist"
But won't accept any criticism of Henegan.

Oh now he's claiming we already have herd immunity...

Madeley at it for second day in a row

#r4today presenter, "infections and hospitalisations are inevitable, arent we just delaying the inevitable and its better to reach herd immunity by vaccination AND infection before a winter wave"
