Mike Yeadon

[Vince Green]

There is a once esteemed Professor, Mike Yeadon, who has become the pandemic's Anti Christ. Much of the misinformation doing the rounds started with him. He has been taken down by facebook and twitter. However that hasn't stopped his followers who have cut and pasted (and embellished) his drivel

So he was an esteemed professor, until he questioned the safety of vaccines that go from inception to being administered in less than a year, at which point he becomes a crank?

Yes pretty much. making totally false statements equates to crank in my world

Because he hasn't just questioned has he?

There's a famous one in France too - Didier Raoult.

I think they just get carried away by all the media attention

Well I don't know diddums about him or his beliefs but I do now know that we have been fed a load of lies from start.  Now suddenly discovered that at least 25% of deaths where not due to covid.  Advise by those in grey suits with a list of degrees as long as your arm suggesting to the Governmet that they should spread false rumours to scare the doo dars out of the populace and they have certainly done that (woman this morning at least a mile from a house walking on a beautiful sunny morning wearing a mask) and now we find that there is more chance of having a blood clot from anyhting but the jab.  The media have a lot to answer for but even now Boris is still pushing his lockdown as why numbers have dropped although it is because almost all old and endangered have been jabbed.

Lies and misinformation abound. The wider site where my fishing syndicate lies is a temporary haulier COVID test centre, they test there and by the time they are at the ferry terminal the results are available. As I left the other day I was instructed by a masked security guard to wind my van window up because I wasn't wearing a mask.

Just confirms what I say.  Bunch of scaredt cats.  Get out there and enjoy yourselves.

Not on privately held social media platforms he isn't. They censor an awful lot of things.

Who was that Doctor (and yes, that title in itself meant that he got at least 3 decent A levels and went to Uni for a long long time) who got struck off for banging on about MMR vaccines and autism? We’ve been here before.

Nevertheless, I’m not a big fan of any censorship because that’s a slippery ‘ol path.

Then to be honest there’s no point expressing an opinion on them.

I think that was Andrew Wakefield

Yup. He must have been an entirely competent doctor and researcher until he started peddling nonsense. Goodness knows how many lives he's cut short by his actions. The last thing we need is another 'eminent' (nice one, Drax) doctor going rogue and spouting nonsense that they refuse to demonstrate with actual science. Yeadon hasn't produced any evidence (concrete or otherwise) for the link with infertility and refuses to engage with the media's calls for proof, save for tweets and the odd interview with handpicked outlets. None of his colleagues recognise is recent change of heart and it goes completely against what he said at the outset of the pandemic. We do have some evidence of his present unreliability. He said it's mathematically implausible for a second wave to hit...right before a second wave hit and he said the pandemic was nearly over with 45k deaths, we're now at 120,000+ (excluding the 25% indicated above). He's also claimed we don't need a vaccination to get out of the pandemic, but the numbers are clear - cases begin to dramatically flatten with the beginning of the vaccination programme.

Fortunately, vaccination levels, in the UK at least, remain resiliently high. But the real test will come when the big childbearing ages are offered it. Let's hope they believe advice linked to medical evidence, not advice linked to nothing in particular

Who was that doctor who flagged up the link between the Astrazeneca jab and the cerebral blood clots?

Prof Marie Scully. It was in a patient who was in her 30's and had a low platelet count. She had also had an AZ vaccine. She followed up with more research and that lead to further discoveries of patients who'd suffered from a CVST and had the AZ vaccine. And all of them had low platelet count. Grounds for further research, which is establishing a link. What's not changed is the risk factor. To the general public it seems the overall risk is 1:250,000 or 0.0004% of the AZ takers. Obviously that will increase if you've got a low platelet count, so if you've got a low platelet count, have something else. 

What's crucial is replication. Scully's research is being replicated. Andrew ******* Wakefield's research was nonsense from start to finish. It was based on fabricated evidence from a tiny cohort of hand-picked subjects and has never been replicated. His co-researcher has backtracked completely and he's refused to sue the Sunday Times for defamation, even though they've categorically called him a liar and openly challenged him to sue them.  The difference between them is chalk and cheese.

No idea, but the numbers suggest that the link between 25,000,000 plus deployed vaccines and a handful of problems, is slight at best 

[Vince Green]

Mike Yeadon's unsubstantiated claims on female fertility was thought to be the reason why so many care workers and health care professionals refused to take the jab. Care workers and Health Care professionals  represent the only category of women of child bearing age so far offered the jab.

It will be interesting to see how many women in the general public within that age bracket refuse it when they get offered the jab

Just to throw out without a shred of proof on social media something that highly contentious, using your qualifications as evidence, should result in him being prosecuted.

If they gave 25milluon people and injection of nothing but sterile water, a few would have a reaction. Nothing is without risk, even getting out of bed on a morning.

I'm all for whistleblowers when corporations out money before health. But have some evidence to back up your claims.
