@EquipmentRoman Or are they bits of anti-personnel stakes from the bottom of a fort ditch?

[Greig Watson @GreigWatson]

Was conquest, theft or mercenary money that brought a spectacular Roman helmet to a remote part of England? https://t.co/vib01987N1

@SamiraAhmedUK @britishmuseum As one of the Romans, can I just say how great it was to meet everyone and an honour to be involved. Your post has really crowned a fantastic event

@DesignedNature Not up for a debate on informed consent? Okay, back to LM. Do you accept that cowpox protected against smallpox?

[Greig Watson @GreigWatson]

@DesignedNature By what means do you judge the "official standpoint". And who decides, apart from those with the most experience and qualifications what constitutes a balanced set of objective experts".

[Greig Watson @GreigWatson]

@DesignedNature But how do you judge the risks? Especially if you mistrust the medical experts who tell you the lowest risk (both to health and personal freedom) is to take a vaccine.

[Greig Watson @GreigWatson]

@ericrayalvarez @VVSarahG @Jikkyleaks Pg 70 says in 1799 Dr Woodville vaccinated seven people and then warned of cowpox being a "very severe disease". It neglects to mention he was initially sceptical and then actually vaccinated 2,500 that year and was then convinced of its effectiveness

[Greig Watson @GreigWatson]

@ericrayalvarez @VVSarahG @Jikkyleaks So you have nothing to contribute to an evidence based debate? I've shown your criticisms of the article to be baseless - so I'll also knock down your last assumption and give you an example of why dissolving illusions is such bad science and history. 1/2
