This woman's voice is still featured in the media.
As an expert's expertise.
Despite going against all know numbers (hospital stats and studies show the vaccine is efficient at reducing transmission and avoiding severe disease/death).
And her opinion carries weight (1/n)
Because doctor Gupta is indeed a scientist.
According to antivaxx, "the most prominent epidemiologist in the world".
I do not deny her past expertise on different matters.
But when it comes to Covid... Why exactly is she asked anything about what she clearly got wrong?
Why ask her to explain on TV she thinks the vaccine is dispensable?
Her opinion on this was already clear last year before the vaccine was there. As well as her argument. Which is that Covid "will end naturally" / doesn't harm most people.
BTW the lady who says Covid will be "a part of our lives like influenza" happens to be working on a universal vaccine against "just a part of our lives influenza"
🤷♀️
Surely not why she doesn't want Covid measures that happen to contain the flu @peterjukes
I mean, one thing that Covid showed is that we could actually fight respiratory viruses differently
Which I guess isn't that good when you're looking for investors/massive profits from another solution to fight them
May be coincidental vested interest tho theatlantic.com/health/archive…
It may that this is just a "follow the money" case
Remember my pin tweet/megathread about how shadowy money is used to push for a medieval society, where the wealthiest profits thrive unhindered by petty human rights & planet protection measures?
The ideology that rich (mostly white) people "deserve it" and that their privileges must be protected (others just don't do enough efforts, why should the rich pay for their welfare, health or standards)?
Following the money always ends in the same place..
In 1120 in the French town of Laon, farmers went to court complaining that their harvest was being eaten by intruders. As in any trial, the intruders were defended by a lawyer, but were found guilty, ordered to leave within 6 days & excommunicated
Fun fact: They were caterpillars
Turns out trials against pests weren't that rare -and more often than not, they were excommunicated.
Interestingly that triggered debate about whether or not that was appropriate: Was it really possible to excommunicate pest that hadn't been baptized, and therefore were heretics?

”Get me out of here” minister announced.
But what’s her plan for culture?
Well.
Get ready to stop the cancel culture by patriotically cancelling the alleged culture cancellers.
“Long live the Party and the one true partiotic culture“
I’m fully ready for her announcement that everyone must master the English language as that is a crucial part of British culture.
Crucial.
Seen on govt’s WhatsApp:
“Maths isn’t part of culture doesn’t it?
“Who cares, remember Raab and Geography? The stupidest you sound, the more uneducated people will like you for facing what they often faced.“
1/ Save yourself some time.
The plan hasn’t changed since 2012.

2/ POLITICAL CONTENT REMOVED
(I’m so curious)
Blah blah, blah blah
”We need free trade, people want free trade”
Hey Liz there’s a giant opportunity for free trade right next door it’s called the single market.
Oh no wait: not *this* free trade
”Subtle” hint about deregulation
This is madness
The more flawed a election process is the closest a 6th January event gets
Numbers not adding up/software issues already weren’t great -this is the last straw
Quick advice U.K. counting at poll station level and publish the results the next day
Confidence matters
Hi @BOBrien451
I know you don’t like my questions on private providers involvement
Let’s set that aside for a while -there are more pressing problems indeed
Could you tell me what keeps the U.K. from asking poll stations’ volunteers to also count the votes? And publish the info
You can disregard anything I’ve said previously-but I believe we agree when we say election results must be met with trust
Forgive me for thinking “results may not add up“ does not generate trust @ElectoralCommUK -but as means to insure a free &fair election are cut it’s an issue
