Personally known to me? No.
But I personally know medical and scientific professionals. I talked to them and learnt a bit from them.
Since 99% of the medical profession says C19 is serious, then it would take a lot to convince me otherwise. Certainly not a struck off Dr who learnt his stuff decades ago. Nor a nurse with doctorate in YouTube.
I have never met anyone from Which? magazine but happily take their advice on things. I do not personally know experts in many situations so do rely on other sources.
I read reports of many types. I have looked at many (certainly not all, life is too short) of the GBN videos put up here. I can listen to arguments and decide for myself which hold more water.:
Those of retired Generals and tacticians, or failed metal traders who used to work for Russian TV.
And I can also look at reports of things and make a guess about it’s accuracy.
If a politician makes a statement about an intended scheme this month, is a report about a company, working in a different field, being awarded a contract, for something not yet decided on, not yet specified, not yet passed by the HoC lekely to be true?
I think not. And anyone giving credence to such reports will IMHO be lacking in judgment.
I would also look elsewhere to see if such reports exist, or are discussed elsewhere.
