Climate Fear Plummets Among Americans
10 May 2024
Almost 1.2 million people in England alone are being forced to wait for at least six months to access vital NHS services – nearly five times the number recorded in 2019. And matters will get worse before they get better.
The NHS waiting list in England could reach 14 million by next autumn, according to a new report by the IFS. And that, it says, is just the beginning: "Much longer waiting lists be with us for years to come."
The Daily Sceptic's in-house doctor says the widely trailed tsunami of hospitalisations has not only not yet arrived after 'Freedom Day', but that we seem to be on the downslope of the ‘third wave’.
The NHS is looking to redistribute Covid vaccine doses, as slowing take-up rates among young Brits means up to 170,000 Moderna doses are at risk of reaching their expiry dates.
The Daily Sceptic's in-house doctor – formerly employed by the NHS, now in private practise – has written a guest post about a recent Policy Exchange report on how the NHS should manage its huge waiting list. He isn't impressed.
More than £2 billion has been splashed by the Government on PPE that was so useless it could not be used in the NHS – five times higher than initial official estimates.
The NHS estimates 66% of people aged 18-29 in England have received a vaccine. But PHE says the same figure is 59%. This is a difference of over 600,000 people. Don't they know?
A new Government ad campaign ignores the passing of "Freedom Day" and instructs Brits to carry on wearing face masks and to use the NHS Covid app so as to "keep life moving".
How many are dying because the NHS is still not offering any early treatment to people suffering with COVID-19 at home, despite the proven efficacy of a number of repurposed drugs?
We are publishing an excellent comment today by a reader who asks: "If you could go back 10 years and speak to your former self, what would you tell that unsuspecting fool?" His answer will resonate with many readers.
