A variety of experts question that the statistical claims for one of the new strains of THE VIRUS!!! are factually accurate. I want to paste the whole article, but I'll cut it by 95%...
https://lockdownsceptics.org/2020/12/21/latest-news-230/#the-mutant-strain-show-us-the-evidenceThe Mutant Strain: Show Us the EvidenceThe Mutant Strain is said to be 70% more infectious than the original version. But is it? Carl Heneghan of the Centre for Evidence based Medicine asked to see the evidence.
The Daily Mail followed up this tweet:
Carl Heneghan,
Professor of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University’s Nuffield Department of Primary Care, expressed scepticism over the 70% figure.
He said: “I’ve been doing this job for 25 years and I can tell you can’t establish a quantifiable number in such a short time frame.”
He added “every expert is saying it’s too early to draw such an inference”.
Professor Heneghan said there was no doubt this time of the year, the “height of the viral season”, was a difficult time for the NHS. But he said failure to put out the basis of the figures was undermining public trust.
He added: “I would want to have very clear evidence rather than ‘we think it’s more transmissible’ so we can see if it is or not.
“It has massive implications, it’s causing fear and panic, but we should not be in this situation when the Government is putting out data that is unquantifiable.”
He added: “They are fitting the data to the evidence. They see cases rising and they are looking for evidence to explain it.”
