Colds, flu and Covid are mainly spread through the air and not by sharing cups and getting close to one another, World Health Organisation experts have suggested in a new report.
Long Covid is no different from the after-effects of viruses like flu and people should stop using the term, health experts have said.
Devi Sridhar's knowledge of the epidemiology of respiratory viruses could be written on the back of a postage stamp, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson. Why was she a top pandemic adviser to the Scottish Government?
The U.K. lost £1.2 billion on stockpiling unused antivirals for Covid, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson. But where's the evidence these drugs do anything except line the pockets of pharma and the 'pandemic' industry?
The Spanish Government has reimposed mask mandates in hospitals and health centres across the country from today, overruling most of its 17 regional authorities.
The Spanish region of Valencia has brought back the mandatory use of masks in health centres due to the rise in respiratory infections.
Since Covid, journalists have picked up an unhealthy new pastime, says Eugyppius: feverishly reporting on the incidence of normal winter viruses as though they are something alarming when they are no such thing.
After a few months of the Hallett pantomime, it's quite clear that the Covid Inquiry is not about evidence-based policy. Time to put it out of its misery, say Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson.
The winter death toll last year in Scotland was the worst in 30 years, the BBC reports. What, worse than during the 'pandemic'? And didn't the vaccines stop everyone dying? These questions are passed over, of course.
Once a highly trusted source of information, now the BBC "confuses the public, passes on facile information and guesswork and uses incorrect expressions that debase science", says Dr. Tom Jefferson.
