@CactusNav Why did you charge me for delivery after I had selected Free Delivery? I appreciate the amount is small, but surely you understand that taking other peoples money without their consent amounts to theft?

The GMC's latest data on deaths in doctors undergoing fitness to practice investigations makes for grim reading. No decline in mortality despite almost a decade of being a caring and sharing GMC... https://t.co/jnrFhWh08t

Only 17k or at least 170k covid-19 deaths? All deaths count, but which column should they be counted in? Covid, or not covid? Short answer: no way of knowing, because of opaque counting. Long answer here: https://t.co/jdN4DWYmtb

@SaraCube Dr No was not comfortable either. Of course all the deaths should be counted, but where should they be counted: that is the question... A rather long post on the subject: https://t.co/jdN4DWYmtb

@ChrisLiamDoyle @PeteSmeat @TheTruthFinder5 @VictimOfMaths Yes, he said no to Dr No as well. Such is twitter. And thanks for reading and commenting on the blog, much appreciated.

@PeteSmeat @ChrisLiamDoyle @TheTruthFinder5 @VictimOfMaths He should also know the difference in meaning between no and know, all the more so as he is a rando on the internet who refers to himself as Dr No. And he should also know how to close open brackets...

@PeteSmeat @ChrisLiamDoyle @TheTruthFinder5 @VictimOfMaths Yes, I do no the difference, which is why I made the distinction. Neither are law (as in primary or secondary legislation.

@PeteSmeat @ChrisLiamDoyle @TheTruthFinder5 @VictimOfMaths Certified by doc with "with direct experience" of pt - not always, but we'll let that pass. What Dr No is saying is that even when it is a doctor with first hand experience of the patient, the clinical process of diagnosing cause of death is not exact science, not by a long way.

[Dr No @_dr_no_]

@PeteSmeat @ChrisLiamDoyle @TheTruthFinder5 @VictimOfMaths Dr No is a registered medical practitioner (currently with a Dr Lazarus licence to practise). Clinical diagnosis of cause of death (ie no PM) is often unreliable. Plus there is 'hot stuff bias' - tendency to favour a diagnosis when it's a 'hot topic' (see blog again).

ONS data from yesterday estimate 7,765 (7.6%) of doctors aged 40-64 have had no covid vaccine, 1,245 (1.2%) have only had 1 dose. Almost 10,000 senior medics due to get fired, starting next month. And what about those under 40? Insane! #NoVaccineMandates https://t.co/PFnAbiboCn

[Dr No @_dr_no_]

The brutality futility and ultimately self destructiveness of the NHS imposing VCOD (Vaccination as a Condition of Deployment) on NHS staff. Tens of thousands of staff to be summarily fired on the basis of a policy that makes absolutely no sense. https://t.co/PFnAbiboCn

@AllysonPollock @guardian Other absurdities aside, most ICUs aren't even full. Latest Adult Critical Care SitRep for England, 7 days up to 9th Jan, trusts colour coded by bed occupancy: >95% red / 90-95% amber / <90% green. Source: https://t.co/7zDJp7HOFo

ICUs full of unvaxxed? Unlikely: most aren't full, let alone full of unvaxxed. Latest 7 day to 9th Jan SitRep Adult Critical Care bed occupancy, individual trust occupancy coloured red >95%, amber 90-95% and green <90%. Nil desperandum. Source: https://t.co/7zDJp7HOFo

A Dr No reader asks: “do [covid] vaccines work, then, to reduce death?” Surprisingly difficult to answer. Using robust all cause mortality as our measure, the answer is probably no (see chart below), but there are many caveats. Read the comment here: https://t.co/e3EqCn7tqX

[Dr No @_dr_no_]

Recent obs: 1. Massive surge in covid boosters. 2. Massive surge in covid PCR +ves. Ergo, boosters cause positives. More realistically: vaccines don't control new variant spread. Not surprising, really. Conclusion: covid vaccine cavalry narrative is dead. https://t.co/vfATs2GugW
