It was a mandate, he said mandates were a slippery slope as if we haven't had them before, we have.

Even if they are made mandatory, it won't stop the virus mutating and continuing to reinvent itself.  Vaccinate the whole world, we'll still have Covid and there will still be deaths.

Back it up with evidence.

 

I mean, I'm literally quoting a post from Spy Bee containing the evidence that masking in Scotland and no masking in England has made no meaningful difference to transmission of the Delta variant.

 

Now why don't you ask me a 6th time what freedoms we're losing from tomorrow even though you're already fully aware of what rules are coming in tomorrow.

You'll have to point me to where I said anything to the contrary in those replies?

 

It was purely a comment on mandates being a slippery slope.

That's from July. The quote refers to their ineffectiveness since then, against Delta.

Yeah I prefer experts to journalists with an agenda Spy Bee. I know that might sting a little.

“I’m literally quoting a post from spy bee” hahahahahahahahaha so zero data zero evidence then. As per. 
 

And yep what liberties are you losing? I mean they are asking us to wear a mask and do the decent thing. I know you don’t value human life very much so maybe that’s it? What liberties are you losing?

It will most certainly reduce the number of deaths if everybody was vaccinated.

So she’s agreeing masks work. Cheers

expert reaction to six cases of the Omicron variant being detected in Scotland | Science Media Centre

 

Quote

Prof Jim Naismith, Director of the Rosalind Franklin Institute, and Professor of Structural Biology, University of Oxford, said:
 
“However, the ONS survey results on prevalence shows that the Scottish and English approach to masking although formally different since July has made no meaningful difference to Delta.

“In both countries very high levels of prevalence have continued for months.

“Thus the new changes announced are unlikely to have much of impact if Omicron does indeed spread rapidly.”

What?

[Bjornebye]

Still no data on masks “not working” or this new variant not causing coughs and all the other invented rhetoric from the usual suspects. 

 

Fucking idiots

Bjornebye, why ask me for evidence if you're just going to neg it?

 

You know, I'm beginning to suspect you're not interested in productive discussion.

[Pureblood]

Face mask arguments are so 2020. We've moved onto pinning people down and jabbing them against their will.

I’m still waiting for evidence. I’ve asked you 7 times what liberties you’re losing and you haven’t answered.

Ask him for the eighth time, that'll do the trick.

He won’t answer because he knows how pathetic his statement was.

It's just possible that the infected people have been flown in from South Africa or another country where it's been detected don't you think.

CapeRed is talking about it. Mandatory jabs is what he wants. How else are you going to do it? Pureblood will not be coming quietly and peaceably.

Well, the evidence that he cites is the fact that transmission of the Delta variant has been similar in Scotland and England, despite the different approaches each country has taken since July.

 

All of the data is out there if you want to try and prove that the Professor of Structural Biology at the University of Oxford is talking bollocks.

So nobody’s been pinned down and forced  to have the vaccine then?
