OK, you've got me interested. What was Chise saying?

No dispute from me here. There's definitely a grown up conversation to be had, but first we've got to get it under some measure of control. And I'm not saying you're doing it, but when we do have that conversation I don't think disregarding the science and evidence would be a good place to start.

So just to clarify, you think that the government and scientists are advocating mask use to maximise their personal profit?

Apologies, I don't use Twitter for science. You shouldn't either. Or Facebook, or that fat bloke down the pub. What scientific opinion has been shut down by other scientists, can you give an example perhaps?

Politely, that's not a very well informed perspective. Might be worth having a read of this. https://www.eastlondonhcp.nhs.uk/ourplans/covid-19-vaccine-faqs-for-younger-adults.htm Or maybe a watch of this...

Which scientists have been shut down? Specifically, which scientific opinion is it that you think has been closed out. Can you point to it? It's one thing to lose trust in the government, who wouldn't, but are you really saying there's a conspiracy of scientists somewhere shutting down...

Just on this, I tend to trust the scientists rather than Boris. To me, following the rules means getting vaccinated and wearing a mask where needed unless there's a medical reason why you cannot do so. The risks of dying from Covid if you are young are low, of getting hospitalised, slightly...

Mate, I've got no time for this Government, but underplaying the seriousness of what we're facing isn't smart either. We're in a bad place right now, with every indication that it's going to get worse if we aren't a bit more careful. This government has consistently been behind the curve up...

What issue, Nick? Do you think there's a conspiracy here to overstate Covid impacts? If so, to who's benefit is it?

That's bollocks. You find something and link to it, and if I'm wrong I'll put my hands up. The truth is that you can't, because there really isn't anything. You are literally making stuff up or relying on twitter. I wouldn't mind if it was football, but this is serious and dangerous because...

Yep, and I worry that people who try to play it down are either being selfish or deliberately missing the point. The problem is that some people don't seem to see that that even very small proportions of very big numbers, are in themselves pretty big numbers. Even if Omicron is less deadly...

Without using Facebook or Twitter or some other made up bullshit, please link to something credible that shows holes in the trials that make the Covid vaccination unsafe. I'm sick of dangerous, selfish lunatics making shit up on here, because they're scared of a simple vaccination that would...

I listened to the commentary. I don't know about the numbers, but it certainly sounded like Wasps fans were very definitely in the minority. In fact, if it wasn't for the Munster fans I fancy all that you would have heard would have been the gentle pop of bubbles bursting. :)

If they've got to that age and they don't completely hate you, and they're not in a Youth Offenders Institution, then congratulate yourself on doing a decent job as a parent. Sounds like you've given them the right values and the confidence to be independent, don't beat yourself up for that. In...

I honestly had no idea he was gay, or indeed where he came from (I'm thinking reality TV rather than Mars, both seem equally possible). But blimey, he's irritating. And I'm scared having his teeth on screen for more than ten seconds will give me sunburn. 🙂

God, where to start on the dislike of Wasps by City fans. Franchising of sport. No impact on the football team (lie). Primacy of fixtures, we'll play on Sundays (lie). No impact on Cov RFC, we'll play on Sundays (as above). We're going to build an Academy in the city bringing lots...

They reduce transmission in the population, NW. That's broadly accepted and seems incontrovertible. They may not stop you as an individual catching Covid of course, because immunity wanes. But if you slow down transmission in the community, then your chances of catching it are of course...

I'm all for skepticism, Christ knows we need a lot more of it, especially for people who take what they read on Twitter or Facebook as gospel. Skepticism used as a cloak for selfishness, and repeated in the face of the facts though, that I'm not so keen on. For example, I can't find anything...

Can you post a link to something that he's published and that contains evidence that the chance of a virus mutating to become more dangerous/transmissible is minuscule, please? I've linked to actual evidence that you're mistaken in that assumption, you're asking me to wade through hours of...

It's this sort of stuff that worries me. The chance of a virus mutating to be more deadly is certainly not minuscule. There is no evidence to support that proposition. So, I wonder, why do people say it or take it at face value. I tend to think it's often to justify a purely selfish position -...
