Off to research "is it possible to play you tube videos in slow motion?"

and if you try and talk to friends about it you immediately get shut down with "oh god I don't want to talk about politics, it's all too depressing" (see also Palestine, COVID, climate, Reform, Sudan .......)

Everything Starmer does can be summed up simply as - "just following orders"

All power to you for still trying to engage people on this subject. You're a better person than me.

This is depressing, it's obvious that GLP-1s could help Inflammation driven conditions like LC. We aren't going to address an emergency unless we act like it's an emergency, we need 'whatever it takes' people in charge, not trialing it the most effective way because 'rules' is ... there aren't words

💯 Zack is the only politician engaged in UK politics. The rest are children playing some ridiculous game of self enrichment & faking outrage for whatever they think will get them on the news, they have no beliefs, no morals, no ability, no shame. It's laughable we still pretend they are politicians

It must be possible to say that death rates and hospitalisation rates aren't what we should be focusing on about COVID, without that being interpreted as dismissing those events. Yes they are awful, no they aren't the main concern, yes the fact the media focus is always on them is deliberate

The only way it changes is through very strong instruction from regulating bodies, who are all politically pressured. The most disappointing group is the unions, they are not doing their job.

So the science showing COVID vaccination can improve efficacy of cancer treatment is OK, but the far greater body of science demonstrating that COVID vaccination reduces the risk of Long COVID for **EVERYONE** is not OK? Because then you'd have to admit COVID infection is dangerous to everyone.

If only the journalist who wrote this had, by way of research, read the recent paper critically analysing the 'covid is airborne hiv' analogy, had been capable of joining the dots and had then written the wider story. Everything happening is 💯 consistent with COVID science

They've all decided this is how to get votes. Most people aren't like this, but won't engage & talk about politics. It's a war but only one side has brought (ok bought) an army.

My interpretation of the entire COVID inquiry; this is a performative process not in any way intended to hold anyone to account and categorically not to surface the fact that all the mistakes that cost lives are still being made today.

"fighting back is ok if the other party initiated the conflict". Thank you, that is our key point here.

I regularly have this exchange;

"the science says the risk to most people from C19 will be long term health problems"

"That's ridiculous, people aren't dying, people haven't got brain damage, you shouldn't believe what you read on social media"

"Ok, I can only try"

Really good book around the point Conor is making and how no lessons are being learned, because it is a deliberate strategy based on the misguided belief that those not in the viral underclass are safe from COVID, as they (largely are) from HIV

I assume there is an actual red phone on the PMs desk.
- proscribe this group
- get rid of this politician
- release this exact statement
- send us more weapons
- overturn this police decision

Any questions and we'll stop sending you money and destroy the career .... that we gave you

Of course he hits the nail on the head here - do you jobs. That is the problem, they are doing their jobs, they are being paid to support the state line.
