Just to make it very clear where I stand—I am a huge fan of vaccination, it has saved literally millions of lives and is a force for great good in this world
I’m currently in a vaccine trial and volunteer with vaccine involvement work (ask me about involvement!)

The list of issues in the PubPeer thread for this article is still growing and it's not looking pretty. I predict a retraction (though with a delay, as journals take time to process fraudulent and erroneous papers).

They were giving away unused pumpkins at the library last weekend; this one was too far gone for eating so I painted it instead.

Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

Tim Davie was a conservative councillor and chairman of a conservative association
He allowed his right wing bias to taint the BBC News
