I have a question of @BBCShaunLey

In YOUR VIEW what does herd immunity look like when, as a matter of hard fact, we only have 51% of citizens (say 53% by 18-7-21) fully vaccinated and all restrictions are lifted and children are unprotected?

Infection above 35k today

Are you trying to say the Gov does not know what you and I know? Especially when they have quite literally spelt out the consequences @BBCShaunLey

To whom do you think @DrMikeRyan was directing his comments of moral emptiness and epidemiological stupidity in the context of “nations with advanced vaccination programmes”? Please be specific. If not us then who?

@BBCShaunLey ?

This reminds me of questions about mens rea in criminal law. What can we infer from all the evidence?

What do WE know they knew.

We heard it at the press conference.

Let’s be frank @BBCShaunLey

If the PM (& Javid) did not understand the words HE was speaking - let alone heard from his CMO and CSO-who were standing right beside him- then he is not fit to run a cricket match let alone a country.

Nor is Javid.

But he understood. We know it from too many sources of evidence from Feb 2020 that he was willing to “let the bodies pile high in their thousands”.

That is HOW one determines mens rea State of mind. Deliberate INTENTION…and unshakable gross negligence @BBCShaunLey

But we need journalists like you @BBCShaunLey to be really sturdy and forensic about this - with the likes of Johnson, Javid, and all Ministers and MPs.

You let us all down when you are not.

I mean. Is this OK with you @BBCShaunLey ?

They made have made a misjudgment in the early months (if one is being generous)…but not now.

And, in case you don’t realise it, child admissions are rising faster now than in wave 2 . The bright yellow line

Going to get higher

Here’s the big fat unmissable clue that it is deliberate @BBCShaunLey

Over to you.

Plenty more evidence if you need it.

For the sake of the children.

And the vulnerable
