Now of course, these same rags are all for these very same measures as the sanctimony stakes have moved from human rights and democracy to making sure it looks like you care about death and illness prevention more than anyone or anything else. Was it also in people with HIV? Our measures aren't remotely similar to Wuhans. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an advisor to the Scottish government, that's a massive, massive mistake. To then double down on it and play the victim when she was called out, respectfully, by another who was far more qualified to discuss the data from that survey was pretty poor. Of course we don't know how much NS actually listens to her, but surely after this there will need to be some distancing from her. She should have distanced from her about 10 months ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She absolutely should do so now. It may of course that she already disregards the advice given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Watching BBC Hardtalk from the other night . Jean-Claude Juncker is being interviewed. Saying the EU Commission failure to procure vaccines is because they are so budget conscious and the rollout failure is nothing to do with the Commission and entirely down to member states own failings. Proper lunatic stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beautiful, the passive aggressive follow up tweet claiming she was being destroyed was glorious. It'll be brushed under the carpet though - the Spectactor did a piece on her pish and subsequent blocking the vaccine expert, but that'll be scoffed at as "right wing propaganda" on the basis that people who have the cheek to question her aren't talking it seriously and think the whole thing is a hoax, or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be brushed under the carpet though. Her pish is (checks notes) pish and reasonable journalists would be calling it out more often if their owners weren't more interested in click bait nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why she has done this is known only by Devi herself, but seems to me that she has done this to back up the case for her longstanding bemoaning of travel. The effects of this are worse: what message are people going to hear, here? "the AZ vaccine doesn't work". That's what they'll hear and her remarks will encourage the anti-vaxxers. She needs to he shown the door for this, both for her below par professional conduct and also because of the message she's sent with it. She is "only an advisor" after all, and they're about as disposable as you can get in politics. Par for the course with her. She blocked me months ago for pointing out that, contrary to her rant about him being outrageously selfish, the German guy that went to a party 72 hours after a voluntary border test had done so because he'd been told he'd be notified within 24 hours if he'd testive positive. Devi really doesn't like her narrative being swatted away by pesky things like actual facts. Edited March 27, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all sinister. I wonder if it was originally called National Safety and Prevention (Diseases) - Security Service until someone pointed out the acronym was NSAPD-SS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
