The case against Lucy Letby is far from watertight, says Prof David Livermore. Many more babies died than she was blamed for, and she wasn't even on shift when a key insulin bag was changed. She must be allowed an appeal.
Anthony Fauci was challenged on CNN (really) over the Cochrane review showing no evidence for face masks against Covid. Now, the review's lead author Tom Jefferson has said his comments defending masks "don't make sense".
"If we ignore high-quality evidence, we arrive at the conclusion we want." Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson say that the Royal Society lockdown report authors appear to fully understand the politics.
A major new review from the Royal Society has concluded that lockdowns and masks were “unequivocally” effective against Covid. But many of the authors are based in China and it was peer-reviewed by Neil Ferguson.
Dr Roger Watson with the sorry tale of a student hauled before university authorities that shows how, in our woke universities, even an allegation without evidence can get you cancelled.
There is no evidence that shielding benefited vulnerable people during the Covid pandemic, according to a study, with the high rate of in-hospital transmission blamed for the failure of the policy.
Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance are marking their own homework with their 'independent' report on lockdowns, and no surprises that they omit to highlight any of the glaring failures in the approach they took.
Masks have gone in most parts of UK society now, but healthcare settings like GP surgeries remain a notable exception. Why are medics the last holdout of the masking obsession, and what can be done about it?
Mask-wearing had no discernible impact on the spread of COVID-19 in Europe during winter 2020-21 and may actually have increased mortality, a study has found.
