The Covid-19 modelling that sent Britain into lockdown, shutting the economy and leaving millions unemployed, has been slammed by a series of experts.
He is an excellent epidemiologist not a software engineer. Sounds like you are trying to destroy his career and life.
^ This is rushing people to their deaths so their paymaster can avoid paying tax torygraph liars fascist
Putting this story into the 2400 year old context of the roots of academia in peer review and the requirements of Open Source for Peer Review. The interesting question is: why did it take so long for the source code to be reviewed?
The only thing nf got wrong was that he didn’t stipulate lockdown earlier ( and trace and track) and that was because to some extent policy drives the science
If you want a real life example not relying on modelling there is Sweden, who’s per capita death rate is horrendous. So the Prof was right anyway.
Yes it should have been earlier!
Standards of reporting get worse every day. This is dangerous and irresponsible
Ahhh Lockdown was totally unnecessary, who would have guessed. They now not following the science. Just when they need us to think it was wrong. Morally inept media.
When's Eton reopening?
The Government relied on it. Their fault.
The Telegraph is totally unreliable. How's circulation? Any idea when you'll be out of business? Just asking so we can plan the celebration.
Now, who do I believe? a scientist with all the know-how or a media platform with an agenda?
'TOTALLY UNRELIABLE' - now you tell us ... still can't ... take any chances !
Which “Experts” would those be ?
Telegraph owners obviously seeing their multi billions turning into, well, still multi billions & they need the uneducated & easily led to get back to their inadequately rewarded jobs on the front line to make sure it stays that way. They are prepared to sacrifice you for that!
Let's all go die for a billionaire! Priiicks.
Just who at the Telegraph is: a) working from home? b) working at the office? c) travelling to work on the tube/bus every day? d) currently living at a 2nd home in the country?
Funny how pretty much every other country in the world came to the same conclusion that lockdown was a good idea.
What a sausage. Got caught hand in the cookie jar. Should never be allowed to get another high-profile job. Total muppet.
But he’s a Professor! Surely he’s infallible...
And do they still have a job?
This anti-lockdown propaganda will kill people needlessly
As a simulation designer who works on diseases we are 8% through a pandemic with uk deaths numbering in the 60k range. This is an attempt to frame a discourse - we are on track for 400k deaths over 36 months
Tory lies
It wasn't at all unreliable. The government got exactly what they wanted from it. The facts never mattered, and they never will. Ferguson is a shill, and governments do love their shills.
His track record was utterly crap ...as was his last effort.
One professor in the uk, doesn't explain how science is also wrong in every other country. It's to this government's credit that they in the end locked down and it didn't listen to the sections of media that consider our lives expedient for their bottom line.
‘Experts’ LOLZ
Who do I believe? A former newspaper turned Boris Johnson fanzine or the British Medical Journal?
Did he put New Zealand in lockdown?
The Tory press just want the plebs back at work regardless of the health risks When does Eton reopen?
Which model has worked the best?
His modelling didn't put Italy, Spain, France, Germany or Argentina into lockdown. If his modelling was unreliable, it stands to reason the the modelling done by Ferguson's counterparts in various other countries must also be unreliable. How likely is that?
You lot in the Tory press just want a genocide don't you? What's wrong, fed up off having to clean your house yourself and look after your kids for a change? KeepTheLockdown
We understand the plan is to destroy his life, profession and image ....
So should this shag happy charlatan not be held accountable?
The Computer says, No!
MaajidNawaz danwootton Iromg iancollinsuk Oh hail...now can we get the country opened up again ASAP. HOWEVER this should not excuse the CCP THEY still have heaps to answer as do WHO & I dare say our lot PHE & NHS Mgr + regional CEOs
Any news on the modelling that sent the rest of the world into lockdown?
Brilliant….
