Third wave fears at odds with return to normality as independent rules out taking COVID vaccine
If more than half of the country has received a first vaccine, therefore acquiring a significant immunity greater than any comparable European country, why should we be concerned by a supposed ‘third wave’ when we’ve also been told that said vaccine regardless of manufacturer is effective (to varying degrees) against all variants? If the infectionContinue reading “Third wave fears at odds with return to normality as independent rules out taking COVID vaccine”
Local Government Association guidance on vaccine coercion strategies condemned by independent
Following on from yesterday’s post where I said that administering the vaccine ‘must be and remain a personal choice to be made by individuals without coercion or compulsion’, an NHS document on the Local Government Association’s website dated December 2020 has been brought to my attention that clearly violates this principle (https://www.local.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/Vaccination%20do%20and%20donts%20by%20audience%20cohorts.pdf). If this documentContinue reading “Local Government Association guidance on vaccine coercion strategies condemned by independent”
Authoritarian parallels with historical maritime law exposed by independent
The number of eligible people upholding their right to self-determination and bodily autonomy by refusing the vaccination makes me hopeful for libertarian values. As with the flu jab, you should only take a vaccine without coercion and only with your expressed consent. I genuinely hope for those who have already received the vaccine that itContinue reading “Authoritarian parallels with historical maritime law exposed by independent”
Dubious COVID mortality claims scrutinised by independent
The January to September and December UK mortality rates of each year since 2001, as seen in the ONS data attached, indicate that lockdown was not a justifiable policy response to combat the virus (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/monthlymortalityanalysisenglandandwales/september2020, https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/monthlymortalityanalysisenglandandwales/december2020). The mortality rate is at the highest level it’s been at since 2008-09, not 1918-19 as many of theContinue reading “Dubious COVID mortality claims scrutinised by independent”
Independent addresses COVID challenges as government handling faces criticism
The general direction the Johnson government has taken with COVID has been very unsuitable. It was claimed in March 2020 that the aim of the lockdown policy was to protect the NHS. It was implied that lives would be saved as a result of protecting the NHS, though it was never specified how many couldContinue reading “Independent addresses COVID challenges as government handling faces criticism”
Analysis of ONS COVID statistics for 2020 provided by independent
The provisional full year ONS statistics for deaths registered weekly in England and Wales have been released (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales). It is worth noting that the Analysis spreadsheet in the dataset mentions that the statistics include instances ‘where COVID-19 or suspected COVID-19 was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, including in combination with other health conditions’; thisContinue reading “Analysis of ONS COVID statistics for 2020 provided by independent”
Logic of government COVID policies smashed by independent
If masks work, why the need for social distancing? If social distancing works, why the need for masks? If both of those work, why the need for lockdowns? If the lockdowns work, why have we needed more than one of them when the great majority of people have been following the rules? If the governmentContinue reading “Logic of government COVID policies smashed by independent”
Lichfield MP scorned by independent for supporting COVID vote
There’s an obvious but crucial difference between ‘cases’ and ‘deaths’, and it’s a difference which Lichfield’s MP, Michael Fabricant, seems content in ignoring. ‘Flattening the curve’ never at any point meant flattening the economy, but rather taking the strain off the NHS so that it could deal with cases more steadily. Mr Fabricant is theContinue reading “Lichfield MP scorned by independent for supporting COVID vote”
Independent questions motives behinds mass testing strategy
Staffordshire County Council are looking to recruit people to distribute COVID tests as part of the national rollout. The test is apparently designed to ‘quickly identify people who have the virus but may have no symptoms’. There is no meaningful or substantive evidence to suggest that COVID is unique in being the only symptomless virusContinue reading “Independent questions motives behinds mass testing strategy”
