        And yes, for anyone interested in facts, most positive SARS-CoV-2 tests are true positives (even in the UK), this is not some conspiracy but actually quite simple mathematicshttps://gidmk.medium.com/most-positive-coronavirus-tests-are-true-positives-60c95fe54fec …

        "This is just like previous years' influenza" In 2017/18 and 18/19 the peak admissions across the UK to ICU/HDU units for flu did not top 300 per week, making the current situation at least 5x worse than your average season And it's getting worsepic.twitter.com/J9rHhIZRwX

        It’s really interesting that he almost exactly emulates the anti-smallpoxers from the century before last. No cases, low mortality, anti-vaccine etc. They never learn. https://theconversation.com/amp/covid-19-anti-vaxxers-use-the-same-arguments-from-135-years-ago-145592 …

        I ask anyone who relies on him to provide evidence that he’s an expert in any of this - such as his peer-reviewed publications. I’m accused of playing the man not the ball, attacking the messenger etc etc. It’s cult-like.
