The author of this peer-reviewed work is Prof John Ioannidis of Stanford University. On 17 March 2020 Ioannidis called the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic a "once-in-a-century evidence fiasco". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ioan…

@rowandean et al who have always asserted that #lockdown has NOTHING TO DO WITH #COVID19 VIRUS have been dismissed as "conspiracy theorists", their views labelled "misinformation".
Real purpose of this totalitarianism is to "fight the climate emergency".

Hancock was a protégé of George Osborne for whom he worked 2005-2010. Elected an MP in 2010 he had several junior (Minister of State) posts in the Cameron govt. And of course was a Remainer.
@michael53021960 It is wrong to lump all "anti-vaxxers" together as weidos and "conspiracy theorists". There have been scientifically based criticisms of vaccination ever since the UK Compulsory Vaccination Act of 1853. theothersideofvaccines.com/2019/05/a-brie…
1/n@michael53021960 The case of Dr Andrew Wakefield is "the episode which defines the stupidity of the ‘anti-vaxxers.’" But a detailed look at this case suggests that Wakefield’s "professional assassination" should encourage us to be more sceptical about vaccines. 2/n

@DannyStreetman The short clips were revealing - of what we already knew. Having now watched the whole 2 hours, I think we should focus on the fact that the film was a project of @guyverhofstadt, authorised and presumably subject to his team's editorial control.
