Matthew Syed for @TheTimes -
"I make no apology for admiring Novak Djokovic, for believing he is the most impressive sportsman of my lifetime, for glimpsing in his resilience something of the greatness of our species. I’ve come to recognise that he will probably never be forgiven for gatecrashing the duopoly of Federer and Nadal, never tolerated for playing with such ruthless efficiency, never accepted for continuing to win at the age of 37, after operations that might have felled others.
But I do hope a critical mass of people will at least agree that the catcalling and personal insults should stop. He may not be your cup of tea but the journey from cramp-ridden pretender to tennis colossus has many of the ingredients Hollywood would recognise. From audiences, at SW19 and beyond, he surely deserves better."

“AstraZeneca withdrawing Covid vaccine, months after admitting rare side effect.”
And yet, anyone who previously stated their concerns over this were smeared as an “anti-vaxxer” or “conspiracy theorist” or often deplatformed from social media platforms.

We're at the point now where people need advice about any tests they can have to ascertain whether they have unknowingly developed heart damage / blood anomalies / auto immune reactions that might need monitoring.
I know it's scary for millions of people. But this conversation needs to move on to help protect them.
How do we have those difficult conversations?
NO, it is not time to don masks again.
Lets put some ONS figures on the bones of the Dec week mentioned.
2022 v 2023 cases in hospital
Flu 3746 v 942
C19 8000 v 3631
Much higher mask wearing dec 2022. Masks don't work against viruses in the community.
They do damage to children, vulnerable and society as a whole and they are ruining the environment.

@SaleyhaAhsan is wrong and is clearly not taking account of the massive damage done by masks that I am now dealing with in GP.
Almost all studies saying masks work are models and are flawed. The biggest RCT showed no significant difference in mask v no mask arms.
Mental health
Speech and language
Loneliness and isoloation of the deaf and visually imparied

The former education secretary, Gavin Williamson has told the Covid inquiry that shutting schools in January 2021 was a ‘panic decision’, ‘wholly unnecessary” and against the best interests of pupils. He added that, by the end of 2020, there was “unequivocal evidence” that closing schools was “damaging for children’s education, development and health”.
It doesn't matter how you felt about covid and lockdowns in relation to this. 👇
It really f*****g matters that you wake up NOW.
A global health certification passport that will render you a prisoner in your own country unless you comply with whatever drug they INSIST upon.
I don't care if you sit politically left or right (whatever that even means anymore)...you must THINK HARDER about the pitfalls of this - for you and your CHILDREN.
THERE IS PROFIT HERE BUT IT IS NOT YOURS!!!
