Lethal Bullshitting Boris

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson finally backtracks and admits masks do work "epidimiologically" to reduce the spread of Covid-19 but fails to apologize - as he stands besides his science advisor Chris Whitty who, along with Jenny Harries and others, said masks for the public do not reduce the spread of the virus and may make it worse. Boris is going to be recommending them soon he says as we come out of lockdown. But that is lethally illogical. Because if masks and other face coverings most likely do work then they should be insisted upon immediately, or else thousands more lives will be needlessly lost!

It seems that Boris and his motley crew of science advisers would rather more people die as a result of their flawed thinking and whack-job mere beliefs and idiotic assumptions than admit they have been wrong all along about public use of face masks.

There is sound logic and reasoning - published in the British Medical Journal - for governments insisting the general public wear masks outside the home HERE

Lies, Bullshit or Something Else?

Here we see Jenny Harries  - UK Deputy Chief Medical Officer - telling Boris Johnson on March 11 2020 that we should not close mass events and the public should not wear facemasks to reduce the spread of Covid-19 outside the home!



Now, in contrast, there is evidence, logic and rational argument published in the British Medical Journal for why all governments should be advising members of the public to wear face masks during a Covid19 pandemic HERE
. More on the video and what scientists actually knew on the matter on March 11 HERE 

The UK Government and US Government have the highest death rates for Covid19. Neither Boris Johnson nor Donald Trump recommend the general public wear masks outside the home. Although US Government advisers advise their general population to do so. Trump told the general population that it's voluntary and the he won't wearing one. Since both idiots have clown hair as their trademark you have to wonder about the idiot hair vanity clown effect in their world leading death rates. Is it that they think masks would make them look even more ridiculous?



For those who prefer excellent scientific articles on the topic - as opposed to total nonsense based on the assumption of public stupidity - please read this (here).

The Bermuda Triangle

When an author writes that a particular phrase or term was first coined that is not the same as writing when the phrase or term to describe a particular concept or idea was first coined. Failing to differentiate between the two is a gumption trap fallen into by many a credulous bozo desperate to fact deny a new discovery that proves an author wrong about when a word, term or phrase was first coined.

For example, many simply claim that Richard Dawkins first coined the term "selfish gene". But he never. The term was coined years earlier in published print by his mentor William (Bill) Hamilton - see Sutton and Griffiths (2018) for the expert peer reviewed fact of the matter.

Today, during week four of the UK Covid-19 lock-down I was idly browsing through the shelves of my library looking for something interesting to read. My hand alighted on a book I can't remember reading. When I flicked through it I found a note I had written in ink pen on one of the pages. I wrote: "Check if this is true" on page 152 of the book entitled 'Think: Why You Should Question Everything' by Guy. T. Harrison (2013) where the author of that book has it: 'The earliest known mention of the Bermuda Triangle was an article in Argosy (February 1964).'  

 Ironically, Harrison did not question this widely published claim himself, because following my directions written several years ago, I found an earlier mention the Bermuda triangle. The 1950 publication tells us that Pan American Airways provided trips to the area described as 'Bermuda triangle' (click here to visit the Google books scanned snippets entry, archived here).




























In fact, there are many mentions of the area described as Bermuda triangle before 1964. The notion of the Bermuda Triangle being a meme about aircraft and ships missing within it is of course a different matter, because there we are talking about a concept about the area, rather than just a phrase, term or title for the same area. But we must remember exactly what Harrison wrote above. And when it comes to earliest mention of the term Bermuda triangle, or even about the dual capitalized version 'Bermuda Triangle', he is plainly 100% wrong. But he is clearly right that we should question everything we are told.

Masks Against Coronavirus

I have been Tweeting for weeks that the UK needs to insist we all wear masks outside the home. I see today that in New York that is now the official advice. Sadly, so called experts have advised against this in the UK.

All those TV doctors and scientists etc who have been trotting out the party line the masks don't work claptrap on TV - to merely tow the establishment line to keep their money making work with broadcasters should be ashamed. Many people have most certainly died as a result of such rubbish. A mask of any kind (the better the better however) will cut down the amount of infected water droplets spread by a sneezing, coughing and talking wearer and will reduce the amount of exposure to such droplets by wearers. That is simple logic.
