A study claims the vaccines saved 500,000 lives in the UK up to 8 December 2021. But this isn't plausible. The number of excess deaths in the first year of the pandemic (before vaccines) was only 76,000.
Imperial College London, home to 'Professor Lockdown' Neil Ferguson, has enraged parents and students by banning parents from attending their children's graduation ceremonies due to 'Covid safety'.
Professor Danny Altmann has admitted that the emergence of the highly immune-evasive Omicron variant came as a surprise to most experts in the field. Is that because it was made in a lab?
The alarmist claims of Neil Ferguson and his modelling team at Imperial College have fuelled vaccine scepticism and led to needless lockdowns being imposed all over Europe, according to several leading scientists.
Modelling by Neil Ferguson has forecast up to 5,000 Omicron deaths a day this winter unless restrictions are tightened. The fact that he's got nearly every previous forecast wrong doesn't mean he won't be taken seriously.
Releasing all Covid restrictions on 'Freedom Day' was the right thing to do despite outcry at the time, a study for Imperial College London led by 'Professor Lockdown' Neil Ferguson has found.
The new parliamentary report on Covid repeats the claim that locking down a week earlier would have saved tens of thousands of lives. This is contradicted by the data which shows infections peaking before lockdown.
In his latest article, the Daily Sceptic's in-house doctor draws attention to the repeated mistakes made by the modellers and governmental advisors and at the huge implications that these bear.
Neil Ferguson et al have just published a paper arguing that had the UK adopted Sweden's approach to Covid, our death toll would be twice as high. But the paper is just flat out wrong, from the first sentence onwards.
The report from round 13 of Imperial's REACT study is out, and it has some disappointing results on vaccine effectiveness and hospitalisations among the under 64s.
