But what you don’t see, unless on the inside, is these views are an extreme minority and the vast majority of scientists are extremely pissed off with charlatans like Sikora, Cummins and Yeadon who seem convincing,
Speak well but know FA about infectious disease and in each case have ulterior motives to make money. Henneghan and Gupta are a disgrace, taking right-wing lobby group money and PR. Henneghan has limited expertise in infection. Essentially he is a primary care specialist/GP with some expertise in evidence-based medicine around cardiology. Gupta has been proven, like Tegnell the Swedish state epidemiologist,to have got things badly wrong. Mainly around a lack of understanding of immunology. Although they raised an interesting approach, the whole idea of herd immunity through natural infection was considered extreme but bit Boris and Dom enough to have cost perhaps 25,000 lives. Anyway, we are still nowhere near herd immunity.
I am far from an expert in coronaviruses, but know more than most.
Have examined PhDs on them and written enough in book chapters and taught about them for two decades to know shit from chocolate. In fact you could easily criticise the BBC for giving a platform to these self-proclaimed experts. I wouldn’t appear on media as an expert unless I knew enough to be sure I was not spreading crap. Sadly, liars and charlatans have had a platform for the last nine months. When I say a majority,
I mean about 90%
Thank you, I'm not going to agree or disagree with what you say.
The only people I follow above are Yeadon, and Cummins, I do find Yeadon a bit boring recently, I mainly look at the ones who put up graphs and statistics.
They may be doing damage, but honest if it wasn't for the likes of reading an alternative calming element, I'd hate to think what state, I would be in now, I think the mainstream media have a lot to answer for.
