You remember the link I gave you to evidence based view on covid that you barely watched and disparaged as just graph manipulation and not peer reviewed? Had you watched further T cell pre-immunity was also covered.

What are your thoughts on this peer reviewed BMJ article?

No-one has ever claimed masks to be 100% effective, or else it’d be a case of masking everyone up for six weeks and getting on with our lives.

Nobody has either challenged that there could be more to immunity than simply antibodies, and the notion of pre-existing immunity on some level in some populations has raised itself before.

However, what you’ll find is that I scoffed at the frequently touted notion that somehow, by magic, the experience of other countries won’t be replicated here or that the January-March trend is generally the trend for unmitigated growth unless there is evidence we are at or near the herd immunity threshold.

I think as we are approaching lockdown two we can all accept as fact there’s clearly plenty of further opportunities for onward transmission of the virus within the population as a whole. We have accelerating, not decelerating growth that would be associated with reaching the threshold.

Rotate that at 90 degrees I realised I messed up the horizontal and vertical.
