Coronavirus. Just Coronavirus.

Think we need to lock down for this years flu. Gunna be worse than Covid...

Prof Anthony Harnden, deputy chair of the government’s advisory committee on vaccination, has been addressing some of the questions around Covid booster jabs.

He tells BBC Radio 4’s Today programme work is under way testing seven different vaccines for autumn boosters, to see how they might react with each other and with a flu vaccine.

The last point is important because he says: “Flu could be potentially a bigger problem this winter than Covid.”

With very, very low prevalence due to the UK’s lockdowns, flu immunity is likely to have dropped in the population and “it comes back to bite us”, he says.

 

Moving goalposts

 

Make no mistake, these maniacs will have us in perpetual lockdowns forever.

 

It's a ****ing nonsense.

People's health and livelihoods don't matter to these despots. I mean all Governments and all politicians everywhere.

**** 'em.

 

The Revolution shall start 01/07/2021

I'm on holiday that day so I'll join the rest of you guys on the 8th. Give 'em hell.

 

Can we not just forget about covid for a few months and enjoy our summer?Asking for a friend.

 

I didn't ask Mick to ask that question.

 

I don't have many friends on here but I count you in my top ten

 

Fingers reciprocates and counts you in his top nine.

 

I think MIck made that joke, ya ****in Dumbass Goblin

 

Ooooh tetchy, tetch, wetchy.

Jam rag week is it?

 

^^^ Dumbass Goblin

I think his new name suits him

 

Oh dear.

These people are absolutely insane.

The Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) has worked in partnership with the German Bundeswehr Office for Defence Planning to understand the future implications of human augmentation (HA), setting the foundation for more detailed Defence research and development.

The project incorporates research from German, Swedish, Finnish and UK Defence specialists to understand how emerging technologies such as genetic engineering, bioinformatics and the possibility of brain-computer interfaces could affect the future of society, security and Defence. The ethical, moral and legal challenges are complex and must be thoroughly considered, but HA could signal the coming of a new era of strategic advantage with possible implications across the force development spectrum.

HA technologies provides a broad sense of opportunities for today and in the future. There are mature technologies that could be integrated today with manageable policy considerations, such as personalised nutrition, wearables and exoskeletons. There are other technologies in the future with promises of bigger potential such as genetic engineering and brain-computer interfaces. The ethical, moral and legal implications of HA are hard to foresee but early and regular engagement with these issues lie at the heart of success.

HA will become increasingly relevant in the future because it is the binding agent between the unique skills of humans and machines. The winners of future wars will not be those with the most advanced technology, but those who can most effectively integrate the unique skills of both human and machine.

The growing significance of human-machine teaming is already widely acknowledged but this has so far been discussed from a technology-centric perspective. This HA project represents the missing part of the puzzle.

 

Regular booster shots now for "10 years"

 

I really don't think Mick did make that joke.

 

There was an excellent piece in this morning’s Telegraph by Matt Ridley:

Flawed modelling is condemning Britain to lockdown​

As one of the most vocal critics of SAGE and their wholly inaccurate data modelling, this was an “I told you so” moment.

He referred to an article written by Science Editor Sarah Knapton five days previously about how Boris has pushed back ‘Freedom Day’ using out of date estimates, provided by my favourite pessimist Neil Ferguson at Imperial College. This time he has got 203,824 deaths in the next year. This is not a different Ferguson to the one that had half a million dead in a year last May or broke lockdown rules to shag his married lover.

Imperial’s data modelling was based on unrealistically low efficacy of the vaccines compared to real world facts. Imperial were using a figure of 77-87 per cent efficacy for preventing hospitalisations whilst the actual figure for the Pfizer jab is 96 per cent and AstraZeneca is 92 per cent. When the modelling is adjusted for reality, the body count drops to 26,854.

These “scientists” love feeding pessimistic big numbers because it gets attention, especially from easily led politicians, and they will not get crucified when reality is nowhere near as bad as predicted. Optimistic smaller numbers do not grab the attention, will get little adulation for being accurate and come with the reputation destroying risk of being exceeded.

 

I was very good at airfix modelling when I was a wee boy but it didn't make me an expert in all things "aviation".

 

^^^Didn't read lol

 

Boosters in September


Yeah right you ****ing flat earth lunatic..
