Clap For Chris – The Greatest Scientist…NOT.

6 February 2021

This Man Is Supposed To Be In Charge. Earlier this week, the Chief Medical Officer was heckled in the street by someone who disagreed with him. Perhaps not the most appropriate way to make your point – even if the point being made was absolutely correct – but if you are a true leader and […]

Exoribonuclease – Your Starter For Ten Mr Prime Minister.

30 December 2020

Q1. How can a virus containing an exoribonuclease mutate in the way you are saying? Coronaviruses possess an exoribonuclease within nonstructural protein 14 (nsp14-ExoN). This functions as a proofreader during viral transcription and encoding, ensuring high fidelity replication. This minimises the potential for mutation, as shown by the fact that sarbecovirus/lineage B betacoronaviruses with their […]

These Are Not The Drugs You Are Looking For.

20 November 2020

Don’t Use Remdesivir. Just one month after the US Food and Drug Administration approved remdesivir as an antiviral for the treatment of patients with COVID-19, the WHO yesterday recommended that it not be used, on the basis that it is ineffective and there is “no evidence” it reduces mortality. Last month, we analysed remdesivir’s use […]

Lockdown – The Sequel: Coming To A Cinem…Oh, They Are All Closed. Is it just us or are there more people out & about now than on a normal pre-house arrest day?

LOADSAMONEY! According to the sales pitch on Thursday from investment banks Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley, a COVID-19 vaccine could be a “bumper revenue opportunity“, projected to earn at least $10 billion a year. Morgan Stanley’s projection is at least $10 billion a year across developed countries but Credit Suisse is bigging it up further […]

‘could’ – the sleight of hand that makes extreme speculation sound like fact.

22 September 2020

So according to Chief Manslaughter Officer Chris Shifty and his ventriloquist’s dummy sidekick the Chief Scientology Astrologer, the country could see 50,000 new COVID-19 cases a day by mid-October and could see over 200 deaths a day by mid-November. Or there could be 5,000 new COVID-19 cases a day., or there could be 489 or […]

Don’t be afraid of the R0

4 May 2020

R0 is the basic reproductive ratio of an infection. It predicts how many new instances of infection are caused by one existing case of infection. It is also the latest ingredient in the pandemic cookbook to be seized upon by the government and used incorrectly to try and maintain the lie, and keep everyone believing […]
