Dr Mike Yeardon on asymptomatic Covid

I would encourage Gransnetters not to watch the clip as Yeadon is a well known covid denier who misrepresents his credentials and he is being interviewed by Neil Oliver on GBNews.

To put it bluntly, he's a lying git.

Hope that helps MrsHappy.

Interesting and I'm inclined to agree with him.

Well this is going well.

I don't believe him, MrsHappy

I’ll take your advice Alegrias thanks

But aren't we supposed to believe doctors/ scientists and professors ?

Oh, the bloke who reckons the vaccine makes people magnetic, I’ll pass thanks MrsHappy.

Maybe do a bit more general research Mrshappy

I think its OK for MrsHappy to ask on here what people think of the clip. I think this counts as general research!

I would encourage Gransnetters to watch the video, as I assume that they are old enough and intelligent enough to make their own mind up without being told what to think.

I always follow Alegrias’s advice on matters covid.?

That's an interesting approach though, isn't it?

Because what Yeadon is saying is unadulterated rubbish, so while normally people should be encouraged to make their own minds up about things that are matters of opinion, its not fair to encourage the further spread of misinformation and covid denial.

Is it?

I hadn’t realised Neil Oliver had gone over to the dark side. I used to like him doing the history and nature programmes, with his long flowing locks. I hardly recognised him. Has he become another David Icke?

OK, that's a bit too much responsibility for me

What was he saying, exactly? That asymptomatic covid is irrelevant?

I must admit that I've questioned the number of supposed asymptomatic people - one in 3 is it supposed to be? I don't know anybody who's had covid and been asymptomatic (after a positive covid test) - everyone I've known has had symptoms.

Is it?

Yes, my approach assumes a certainly level of intelligence and not a sheep like one.

Many online platforms delete misinformation though. That case of the senator in the US recently, for instance, who got banned from Twitter.

I know nothing about Mike Yeardon MrsHappy but if it is something Neil Oliver is promoting I'm not going to waste my time watching.
Only yesterday I referred to Oliver as the Scottish David Icke in an email to my son Streaky, so clearly we think alike.

Me too!

Unfortunately "People with science doctorates and medical degrees are not immune to believing untrue things..."
There are many others apart from Yeadon who seem to have been persuaded by the anti-vax movement. In Ireland, a professor (Dolores Cahill) teaching medical students was finally removed from her post after holding various rallies and making false claims about Covid and vaccination. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-health/strange-case-dr-cahill-and-ms-hyde
Previously she had been a well respected academic in biomedical area with many publications.

I watched with my eyebrows on permanent raise , only at the end did I realise that this was on that GB thing , poor man really is deluded

He is a retired pharmacologist whose PhD thesis was on the respiratory systems of rats. I’m not convinced that qualifies him to be an expert on Covid 19 in humans.

MrsHappy, it's widely recognised that Mike Yeardon is a complete laughing stock in scientific circles - so do bear that in mind.
