While the Heneghans, Guptas and Ioannidis' of the world talk about being cancelled, it's scientists who've given stark warnings in crises & advocated for childhood vaccination being abused into silence. The incitement of these attacks comes from the media

I challenged @MattChorley on this on Times Radio recently- for casting doubt on SPI-M-O models that are now very much on track with hospitalisation rates. The media is fully complicit in this, while issuing almost no challenge to misinformation as long as it carries hopium.

Scientists warning based on evidence are attacked relentlessly for 'fear mongering', being 'pro-lockdown', while hopium spreaders are platformed without question, as vital opportunities to protect the NHS & people lives are allowed to pass & murderous policies of govt normalised.

I feel less and less inclined to do most UK media, because it's clear what the narrative is & challenging it is exhausting. Most aren't interested in science at all- just creating a fall guy who's portrayed as being 'pro-lockdowns' despite spending 2 yrs trying to prevent them.

I wish we had more exposure to international media here. I've had the great experience of doing European, Australian, South Korean, Canadian media, and my experience has been very different. We're living in a bubble, where very little global information comes in.

That's very much part of normalising exceptional policies that will cost health, life and even economy.

..as is attacking anyone trying to save lives into silence. Many very sensible scientists I know do less and less media because of the huge personal cost it carries, and the attacks it brings with it not just to an individual but even to their families, as the article above shows
