An unvaccinated person is 50x more likely to die of covid than a fully vaccinated person. ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
Meaning the 6% of us who are vaccine hesitant ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
are 3 times as much potential covid load to the NHS as the other 94%.
1/
And remember, the lockdowns, vax passports etc are all about preventing the NHS being overloaded by a Covid surge, leading to knock-on effects on non-Covid patients.
I don't think anyone should be forced to receive vaccine (or any medical procedure) without consent, but...
2/
why should a small number of vaccine hesitant hold a gun to the NHS's head and force the whole country into lockdowns on account of their irrational beliefs?
My suggestion is to reinstate the Nightingale hospitals, paid for by a special tax (or insurance) for anti-vaxxers.
3/
That way the NHS is protected, lockdowns are less essential, and - who knows - maybe some of the anti-vax people will have a little rethink when the price of their stupidity cones out of just their own bank account, not everybody else's.

Something is happening to do with UK/US.
In the space of a few weeks, UK has 1. On the ECJ role in the NIP, staged the biggest climbdown since Hillary's return to basecamp. 2. Handed Assange over like a lamb to the slaughter. 3. Settled 3 collusion cases in NI after decades.

Now @PennyMordaunt is desperately trying to steal @trussliz 's glory, should a US trade deal happen "look! I had lunch with members of the rotary club in bumfck Alabama and Lo! Joe Biden relented!"
TBH if there is a US deal, @trussliz doesn't deserve any credit either.
2/
The guy who sacrificed most to get it is @DavidGHFrost . All that tough talk about the ECJ and now he has to walk it back. He looks like a guy at a fancy dress party as an 8ft penis who realised it wasn't a fancy dress party when the other guests arrived.

When the Daily Mail says it is raining, you should always take a look out of your window.
Lets do a quick reality check on what they have been saying about heat pumps? Here is the actual spec sheet for an actual heat pump - the actual Hitachi "Yutaki S80".
1/
Daily Mail:
"They don't work in cold weather."
Spec Sheet:
Outdoor unit operating range -25deg C to +46 deg C.
DM: Cannot deliver *60 deg Water at tap.
Spec: Max Water Outlet Temperature 80 deg C
*NB: B. Regs part G banned >48 deg C to baths in 2010. Some "expert", eh?
2/
DM: Heat pumps are noisy.
Spec: Indoor unit 57dB(A)
Lets compare to common household appliances?
Note 1: dB is logarithmic; every +3dB doubles sound power.
Note 2: human ears are also logarithmic, to a different base; +10dB doubles perceived noise.
August 2019: "yellowhammer" leak. No-deal brexit mean a legal limbo that would cause shortages of food, meds, lorries, fuel. Energy prices up & security down. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/ope…
A terrified Johnson agreed to the oven-ready deal, NIP and all...
1/5
But now yellowhammer seems to be happening anyway, despite the TCA; it turns out an absence of lorry drivers, warehousemen and care workers will stuff things up almost as badly as an absence of legal framework for doing international business...
So what can Johnson do now?
2/5
Hmmm...well... if yellowhammer is happening *anyway* - caused by "no-staff" as opposed to "no-deal", then sod it! - he may as well go for no-deal after all and blame the beastly EU, rather than his own crappy oven-ready deal and his own self-harming Brexit.
3/5
Q. Why did Frostie choose Lisbon for his "haka" to the EU?
A. Because the brexit press has turned "Lisbon" into a Pavlovian trigger word for Brexiters - like "Rosebud" for Doberman-pinschers - to shut down the frontal lobes and switch to conditioned reflex.
1/4
Q.Why did he call it in such haste?
A. Because, unexpectedly, Sefcovic was about to offer major concessions on SPS, medicines, and representation of NI citz. He desperately had to find some other issue to manufacture a crisis out of: CJEU jurisdiction over EU law in NI.
2/4
Q. Why did Sefcovic show such willingness to compromise on the other issues? Frostie was *certain* his usual mixture of insults, lies and provocations would result in the "no" he was looking for.
A. Sefcovic talked directly to NI bizz & community. They asked and he listened.

Really it's as close to whitewash as Jeremy Hunt dared go without descending into farce.
Not a whitewash - a plea bargain. Where the perp admits a lesser offence in order to avoid being convicted of a major one.
1/
The report admits that the Government was slow and chaotic and "guilty of groupthink", but the truth is far, far, worse.
The truth is Johnson planned to let 500K die, but was stopped by Emmanuel Macron in March 2020, not a moment too soon.
Lets look at the evidence:
2/
Exhibit A: imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-inf…
Between the 22nd and 24th January HMG was informed that Covid has an R-0 of 1.5 to 3.5. This means without lockdown 50M Brits would catch it.
