This is wrong.

I hoped the most benign interpretation was that the government was bullying young people. (And that's not very 'benign', is it?) But no, they seem committed to introducing an illiberal ID system that robs you of bodily autonomy.
And this is despite 9/10 Brits having antibodies already. (ONS.) 88.1% adults had 1st dose vax already and 69.1% 2nd dose. Introducing a passport now is beyond the point of diminishing returns. Where is the cost benefit analysis? The scientific evidence? The impact statement?
If this was a genuinely medical necessity then negative tests would and natural immunity would suffice. The vaccine does not prevent transmission. It reduces severity of symptoms.
The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee inquiry concluded against vaccine passports: committees.parliament.uk/publications/6…
Egregious use of fear and behavioural psychology have softened people up for these draconian measures as I explore in my book A State of Fear.

Or... don't. Because it's just not a normal friendship conversation.

'More than nine in 10 UK adults say they are happy to receive a Covid vaccine.' This is '8 out 10 cats prefer Whiskas'. Social conformity & norms. It's 'safe' to make the same choice as everyone else.
The term ‘vaccine hesitancy’ is quite a new term. It implies a slight pathologisation. At the least, the vaccine sceptic looks a bit silly.

Fantastic to unleash A State of Fear on @JuliaHB1's show! If you want to buy the book please follow the link below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Something a little strange is afoot. Many, many people have observed you cannot find A State of Fear by searching for it on Amazon. Indeed it is no longer on my Amazon Author page. So please use the direct link or UK bestseller list until @AmazonUK @AmazonHelp respond & resolve.

Simon Stevens has said that 20,426 people are being treated for Covid in hospitals in England, which is higher than the previous peak of about 19,000 in April.

This compares two absolute numbers, but there are serious problems.

1. It’s winter and we always have more patients in winter than we do in April. For background context let’s compare occupancy and ICU for this December with previous Decembers going back 5 years.
2. Numerically there are more patients but just presenting that as a crude statistic is disingenuous because we also have more beds nationally than April. Without the occupancy % figures it’s impossible for anyone to understand what the inpatient numbers mean.

My feature The Detransitioners 🦎 was the third most read story in the Times and Sunday Times in 2020.

Thank you to @km_km_km_ and @thesundaytimes for running it and being an absolute dream to work with.

I was warned to expect a backlash, and had a few refusals. But this was an important story and I knew I could tell it with compassion and integrity. The women who trusted me and took part are truly brave and have lived several lifetimes in one.
Creativity, investigation and social documentary must be intrepid, honest and from the heart. There’s more to come from me in 2021!

On 19 Nov there was a coordinated campaign of over 300 tweets, comprised of accounts which look genuine and some which seem to be bots.

Who initiated this campaign and who deployed these accounts to push for online censorship?
This is a thread containing some information, some questions, and not many firm answers. The campaign was clumsy enough to be spotted, and it was interestingly timed.
Also 19 Nov, MP Damian Collins took part in a debate about #OnlineHarms
