Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant "if I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven."

'The plague.' The Scottish Government could have aligned itself with the EU's travel and border policies throughout, but has ended up going along with Brexit Britain instead - which is even less 'close the borders' gutter rhetoric than the Scottish Government. I hope that sinks in eventually, because it won't ever be forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If the phrase "vertical drinking" enters common discourse im burning this country to ground and starting a new one. Vertical pishing will be the next soundbite when it is banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibsFan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I try not to let individual politicians and their words/actions annoy me too much, so fair play to John Swinney for working me, a grown adult who should know better, into the biggest fucking seethe fest of all time with that "vertical drinking" patter. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Been reading Deepti's take-down of a paper on long Covid published in the Lancet. It's funny - she is slagging off every shortcoming in the paper. Where did she read about these shortcomings? In the paper, where the authors (like every other scientific author) stated what the limitations in their study were. The study is "heavily flawed" because parents of ill children are filling in the data rather than the sick kids themselves. Honestly, she is losing the plot. An editor of a journal would take these criticisms and bin them (you often get reviewers who don't understand what they are reviewing). Every study has limitations! Then we get this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also the police helicopter following a couple walking their dog in the Yorkshire Dales, and also a righteous 'did ye aye?' story from Eamonn Holmes' wife on some stupid morning show about jumping out the way of a man who brushed past her in the shop and asking that he respect her space. Lapped up by hordes of Lovejoys who aren't prepared to move on from March 2020. If I had complete power over this silly little island for a day I would make up some nonsense about an imminent and unpreventable nuclear threat and while everyone clawed each other's faces off.

Then we get this: Perhaps Deepti can run her own study on this since it's an area she seems to have an especially keen interest. I am particularly interested to see her back up her "7-8% of Children get long covid" assertions. Of course, she won't do this and will just continue her screeching from the sidelines. And yes the study is flawed - it's relying on self-reports! I've been tired for about the past three years. Maybe I can self-diagnosis long covid. I read through some of the comments as well. Most are the standard blue heart and EU flag in the bio fanclub, and there's the odd person calling her a fraud in there as well. But one comment struck me and it's something that I think is true. The comment was that she utterly refuses to listen to paediatric doctors and their experience, and is instead essentially concocting some sort of conspiracy that they are involved in concealing. In other words, loads of kids have long covid and paediatricians are lying about it. She is impervious to any dissenting opinion and seems unwilling, for whatever reason, to take a look at what is actually happening on the ground whilst she peddles her agenda. I am not a scientist or a researcher, but I have a comprehension of professional ethics and understand the principles around objectivity, which Gurdasani is failing to demonstrate. I think she needs to take some time off. She's said before that she is clinically vulnerable and it is throttling her objectivity.
