Dictatorship... Democracy...
What's all the fuss about? They both start with a D so surely that makes them nearly the same thing?

Covid and Climate start with the same letter and they're the same thing too. Image
On the democracy vs dictatorship matter...

Israel Minister of Health explains to Minister of the Interior that the green pass in some places is required only so as to put pressure on the unvaccinated to get vaccinated.
(clip: Israel Channel 12)
English translation in thread below.
1/
Translation:
HER: I suspect that for outdoor restaurants you can remove the green pass.
HIM: I'll tell you, in swimming pools and also restaurants. Epidemiologically it's correct.
HER: Correct.
2/
HIM: The issue is - and I'm telling it to you - our problem is people who don't get vaccinated. We need a bit so that they...
HER: To put pressure on them.
HIM: Otherwise... We won't get out of this.

Whilst it might not suit the narrative and seems to have annoyed people, @Peston is correct in his observation. The data to which be is referring suggest very poor effectiveness against infection.
This is far from the first such evidence (e.g. Israel).
1/
Mr Peston can hardly be accused of having been critical of the narrative thus far, which surely means that the fact that he is questioning the data now is worth listening to.
2/
Poor protection against infection invalidates any logical reason for vaccinating children, for passports, for the health apartheid being shamefully stoked by many leaders, and more.
(Not that there aren't also other equally valid reasons why all those things are very wrong.)

COVID DEATHS BY AGE, ENGLAND,
w/e 8 Mar 2020 - 1 Aug 2021

The risk of death with/of Covid varies enormously with age. England data show this clearly.
1/
The difference is so great that one cannot usefully plot all ages together (without resorting to log or other methods). At this scale, only the top (oldest) few age bands are clearly visible. The younger ages are also shown - but they are too small to see.
2/
Here we zoom in 10 x on the vertical (y) axis. The older groups, now off the top of the chart, have been faded for clarity. The age bands shown, 0-64, together account for ~11% of total deaths in the period. That is to say, 89% of deaths occurred in people of aged 65 & older.

COVID HOSPITALISATIONS IN THE YOUING
Repeated claims recently suggest more young people are becoming hospitalised with Covid than was the case in Jan 2021. However England's empirical data show otherwise: new hospitalisations in the young reached similar levels in July & Jan.
1/
The BBC, for example, reported recently that, in England, “levels of young adults being admitted to hospital was four times higher than the peak last winter.”
Without additional explanation, this is likely to be misinterpreted by many people.

2/
ONS Covid Insights, 6 Aug '21, shows charts of new hospital admissions by age, pointing out that "Hospital admission rates in those aged under 25 years were at similar level to rates during the peak in January 2021".

"We can't afford to wait two years, five years, 10 years - this is the moment"
Whatever you view on the topic, please consider how improbable it is that:
1) Of all the 2.25 billion or so 2-year periods since the Earth formed, today just happens to be *the* critical moment.
1/
2) Having each witnessed around 0.000001% of the Earths's history by the time we are middle aged (& 0.0000004% if you happen to be 18) we, of all generations, are uniquely special, not only to live at this most momentous point in the Earths's history but also to know...
2/
... exactly what is going on & exactly what everyone else must do. Not only do we know how others must live their lives, we even know how the Earth itself must live.

Some think we are suffering from a civilisational loss of direction, narcissism & hubris. But we know better.
