It is working BT, only too well, headline in the Daily Telegraph this morning,

"Kent Covid variant 30% more deadly"

But when you listen to what the Mad Scientists actually said, or read the small print, it's clear they're not saying it is 30% more deadly, only that it might be, the evidence is flimsy, not reliable, and with about a 50% chance of being correct. No matter, the media are on to it in a flash, as they're expected to be, and overnight it becomes another terrifying 'fact' about Covid.

I can remember the days BT, I'm sure you can as well, when we used to laugh at the USSR Tractor production figures in Pravda, I never imagined your average Russian believed a word of it, but when you look at the way your average Brit laps up our government's and media's lies and propaganda, maybe they did.
