butlers   260 #121 Posted June 3, 2021 Andrew Wakefield is a criminal, from memory there was dispute about his claims from the very start. Likely has more deaths on his hand than Shipman due to his fraudulent " study".  If you have a look on More Four theres an programme on the anti vaxxers. Wakefield features prominently.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That's the thing: you are holding a completely inconsistent position. On the one hand you're saying that we can't really be sure of anything, because media/internet etc. On the other hand, this thread has been chock full of you making sweeping statements of firm beliefs - about the extent of the pandemic, safety of vaccines, funding of NHS etc.  We can't be sure of anything, but the NHS is definitely not underfunded and is wasteful. We can't be sure of anything, but the pandemic is definitely exaggerated. We can't be sure of anything, but NHS staff are is definitely being bribed to lie/keep quiet. We can't be sure of anything, but supermaket staff are definitely not catching coronavirus.  So which is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The thing was, no one could replicate his findings ,he had fixed the sample.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
butlers   260 #124 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Dr Yeadon if course said on Oct 16 2020 that the pandemic was effectively over and vaccines were not needed to end it .  Most of the deaths in the UK have happened post Oct 16.   Edited June 3, 2021 by butlers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

butlers   260 #130 Posted June 3, 2021 Oh and it turns out she introduced Andrew Wakefield ( struck off medical register) as he spoke via video link from the US to the crowd in Trafalgar Sq. last summer. She's quite keen on anti sematic tropes too. These are the anti vax leading lights.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I worked on the rebuild of Fieldhead Hospital in Wakefield as a project manager, I've seem the appalling waste and mismanagement first hand. A pandemic where I don't know personally or know anyone who knows anyone thats suffered badly is over a year doesn't wash for me Its a fact that NHS staff are told not to publish anything on social media, people who do are censored, try typing an anti covid or anti vax comment on Facebook and see what happens My partner works in Morrisons, they have had no wholesale staff shortages due to Covid illnesses despite being some of the most exposed in society  Not overreaching but I've lived by my intuition this far and I'll trust it in this case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
