Bloody statistics destroying covidiot conspiracy theories again
There are other forums currently discussing how scientists have previously provided hopelessly over inflated numbers of deaths during previous pandemics to justify their existence.
The discredited scientist Neil Ferguson previously stated that Foot and Mouth disease would cause 50,000 deaths ( the actual figure was nearer to 200 deaths).
Bird Flu would result in 2 Million deaths (actual figure 400) or that Swine Flu would case 65,000 deaths (actual figure 457 deaths)
Sir Patrick Vallance who is one of the main U.K. Government advisors on the COVID-19 virus and previously had a top job at Glaxo Smith Kline has also made staggeringly over inflated projections.
When I was a pupil at secondary school we used to speak about mad scientists and now 50 years later I see no reasons to change my views.
