An excellent thread- providing key insights into how pseudoscience is normalised and evidence-based arguments undermined. Understanding this and challenging this is vital.

[Professor Susan Michie @SusanMichie]

Agreed. Many of us advise & our advice is ignored by UK Govt.

There were over 45000 COVID cases in the UK today.

This is nonsense- this doesn't 'minimise disruption' at all- rather it causes disruption by fuelling transmission Have you seen what's happening in Scotland? Absenteeism has increased to 85% in *12* days! If you want to 'minimise disruption', make schools safer & vaccinate kids.
