Speaking to Matt Frei, Sir David said: "We're a country with relatively high humidity... High humidity, high temperatures, quite simply that's higher than the body temperature should be. The former Chief Scientist said that during the 2003 heatwave that saw 15,000 people die due to the heat in France, older people who went shopping everyday for their groceries were walking out in the sun and collapsing.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Vax death carpet sweep opportunity.

WOWpetition mattfrei Sir_David_King Come to Arizona. We have temperatures like this for months.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Gosh, amazing I’m not dead after seven summers in India where it was hotter than that for a couple of months in summer. Sometimes in full biker gear, as I didn’t fancy the local t-shirt and jeans gambit.

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King Is it wise to take my mask off? scared of breathing in all that heat

mattfrei Sir_David_King So I assume millions of people in places like North Africa and other searingly hot climates have also died? 🤔

mattfrei Sir_David_King The bloody scaremongering is out of control on this impending heat. ffs stop it and just stick sensible advice. The UK experienced similar temps for a few days in 1976 thereafter not to this day so just stop the fecking scaremongering & climate doom nonsense.

mattfrei Sir_David_King There's countries all around tge world that experience these days on a regular basis. FFS! get a grip. Talking about fear mongering!

mattfrei Sir_David_King Rubbish, trying to brainwash the gullible

mattfrei Sir_David_King It was much hotter during the blitz. Happy days.

mattfrei Sir_David_King It’s ok for the greedy rich they have air conditioning in their homes

mattfrei Sir_David_King Cold is worse

mattfrei Sir_David_King How on earth do the Bedouin get on with it with no aircon, limited access to water, and sustained 40+ Celsius - get a grip Britain. ☀️

mattfrei Sir_David_King But by all means go to Spain or the Middle East where it’s above 40 in the shade and enjoy yourselves. This is just scaremongering and LBC should be ashamed for pushing such rhetoric.

mattfrei Sir_David_King 'King formed Independent Sage'... fucking loses then.

mattfrei Sir_David_King I am staggered by the replies - this man is an expert - he is giving you & I the facts - the vulnerable & the very young just can not cope & you sit in your ivory towers talking about temperatures you have been in as if you are immortal & immune - just can it please. 🌡

mattfrei Sir_David_King If my aunty had balls, it would be my uncle.

mattfrei Sir_David_King I wonder how they cope in Southern Europe..? This is just another example of the MSM ‘Trigger’ phenomenon.

mattfrei Sir_David_King The 'former' Government Chief Scientist. Was he sacked? If not, he should have been for spouting utter scientific crap.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Stop with the scaremongering. It isn’t helping

mattfrei Sir_David_King because Brits are pansies?

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King australia - the driest continent on earth. Just a normal day in summer.

mattfrei Sir_David_King That hilarious

mattfrei Sir_David_King What is it with people who see experts warning them about an objective hazard & furiously deny the existence of the hazard/bang on about weakness or living in fear? It’s going to be b🤬stard hot. Stay in the shade & drink lots of water. IE use common sense.👍

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King This is clown world. It really is!!! People live in hot countries they just use some common sense.

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King LBC and another 'Government Scientist', clown world. Has Neil Ferguson modelled it yet?🙄

mattfrei Sir_David_King You should be sectioned under the mental health act for pushing this rubbish....

mattfrei Sir_David_King I died in 2015 then.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Maybe if you're out in a winter coat and drink no water.

mattfrei Sir_David_King What

mattfrei Sir_David_King Surely this is complete bollocks? There are countries were this is standard practice. PS this is not a denial or support of global warming

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King All triple vaxed...

mattfrei Sir_David_King How many masks, jibby jabs and suntan lotion will i need?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Stop crying you pansies, with love from Australia.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Absolute B.S. When I was in Montenegro a few years ago it reached 40 degress and everyone was going around as normal.

mattfrei Sir_David_King What a load of BOLLOX I’ve spent weeks at time in those temperatures and guess what I’M STILL ALIVE B4 u ask I’ve spent considerable time in Africa

mattfrei Sir_David_King Guys, saying 'I don't believe in climate change.' won't cool you down nor makes you cool... ClimateChange COP28 SDGs science

mattfrei Sir_David_King Can anybody think of a reason why Sir_David_King might lie to the country and promote a Climate Crisis narrative? 👇🏼 Any reason at all ?

mattfrei Sir_David_King And no doubt Pfizer are working on a vaccine for heat

mattfrei Sir_David_King Lol

mattfrei Sir_David_King Absolute bollocks

mattfrei Sir_David_King Excess death from other non covid related causes cover-up

mattfrei Sir_David_King *Florida* gets like that RIGHT NOW - and its full of old people. Where I live the temperatures are hitting over 115F and will be over a hundred until near 9PM.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Has King ever been outside or has he lived his entire life in climate controlled buildings? The most heavily populated parts of the world reach those conditions for months every years - and most of those people don't even have AC available.

mattfrei Sir_David_King I went to Seville for a week 20 years ago. It was 44 during the day and only slightly cooler at night. I’m still here.

mattfrei Sir_David_King 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so why are people alive in the middle east? Husband works in Iraq...it was 50 last week when he left...everyone is still breathing and working?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Siri: Show me how they’re going to hide ‘up to 10,000 excess deaths’ caused by vaxeens.

mattfrei Sir_David_King You ok hun?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Get a grip.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Is it the weather which will be causing these “excess death” or something which was forced onto many people...which is “kicking in now”’ making a lot of people sickness . We see through the media bull crap

mattfrei Sir_David_King King is Chair of Independent SAGE. And as credible on heatwave deaths as he was on COVID.

mattfrei Sir_David_King This is pathetic beyond belief

mattfrei Sir_David_King Biggest pile of horse shit fear porn i have ever heard Jabs are killing thousands I was out in Greece at 2pm walking round 39⁰

mattfrei Sir_David_King What utter and complete nonsense. Last time I was on hols in Egypt it was 45 degrees plus, every day!!!

mattfrei Sir_David_King and they're accusing Joe Biden of being a senile fool?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Does even have a science editor? Further, they let the benighted Sir David King make a statement that humans can't survive exposure to 40C and 80% humidity for a few minutes without providing a counter to his obvious ignorance. FakeAGW ClimateCult

mattfrei Sir_David_King What an absolute load of bllx

mattfrei Sir_David_King Oh for fucks sake just fuck off with the sensationalizing of a bit warm weather. Have you ever been to the med on a summer holiday? It's like that every fucking day.

mattfrei Sir_David_King How is this guy knighted? More like benighted. Everything he says is false.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Nothing to do with the side effects of an experimental vaccine that makes blood ‘stickier’ 😳

mattfrei Sir_David_King Does “up to 10,000” include a handful?

mattfrei Sir_David_King More people die from cold than heat. Humans are more adapted to extreme heat than to extreme cold. Get a grip you fool. I cant believe this guy is a scientist. I put no credence into anything climate alarmists like this guy says. ClimateCult FakeAGW

mattfrei Sir_David_King What a melt. I just managed a week of it. Great tan.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Looooool oh my limmy.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Should I wear a mask?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Barry bullshitter

mattfrei Sir_David_King Just back from a week in Greece. 29 overnight, 39-42 all day. Luckily I survived. I even noted that at 3pm on a Sunday (hottest part of the day) Football was being played by the local kids at their little stadium. Amazing that nobody died.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Oh f**k off with this nonsense. Most people pay thousands every summer for two weeks of quality sun. We’re getting 4 days, enjoy it folks and ignore these whoppers, they need to get a grip!!

mattfrei Sir_David_King I'm a survivor of the ☀ I've worked in Turkey, Greece, Spain and the Caribbean. Here I am still alive, I must be a walking miracle

mattfrei Sir_David_King Project Terror phase 2 commences per instructions from Oberst-Gruppenführer Klaus Schwab.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Thank goodness this is Sir David King postulating and not Prof Chris Whitty, otherwise we would be talking 50,000 excess deaths rather than a mere 10,000!

mattfrei Sir_David_King They told us we will all die of covid stop. Have some morals

mattfrei Sir_David_King Why are you doing this? why ? It hasn’t got near that and probably won’t

mattfrei Sir_David_King Folk need to get a grip. Surprisingly folk in Spain , Italy et al manage tolive

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King I am surprised anyone is still alive in countries like Egypt, India and the continent of Africa if every time they go to the shop they are going to drop dead due to the heat that funnily enough, they seem to cope with on a daily basis....

mattfrei Sir_David_King Over the years spent time out in the Gulf states, Middle East, etc in temperatures above 40 degrees, still here. Millions of people live with them temperatures for many months of the year. Wonder if you will be so concerned when people die of cold when they can't afford heating.

mattfrei Sir_David_King 💩

mattfrei Sir_David_King So, if I'm outdoors and I feel a bit hot I should do what I normally do and go to somewhere cooler? Perhaps indoors. I think I might have been told this 45 years ago, when I was a child.

mattfrei Sir_David_King You haven’t been to Queensland?

mattfrei Sir_David_King These guys are as good at modelling as Johnny Vegas.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Nobody.. absolutely nobody is forecasting 40c AND 80% humidity for this hot spell...quite the opposite humidity generally remarkably low through the peak of the event when temperatures at their highest.

mattfrei Sir_David_King What's this tit in charge of?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Could he possibly be talking utter Tosh?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Oh shut up David you Plank.

mattfrei Sir_David_King If this were true Africa, Australia swathes of South America, North America, Asia and Southern Europe would be desolate with no life at all. This guy wins overreaction of the year.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Tell that to the Tour de France where the riders race over gruelling terrain for hours on end in that heat. What absolute spectacular bollocks.

mattfrei Sir_David_King I go running in that and worse Clowns

mattfrei Sir_David_King Potentially the biggest overreaction so far 😂

mattfrei Sir_David_King And you were the people who took over India. Wow.

mattfrei Sir_David_King LBC. Give your heads a wobble ffs.

StephenHarveyJ mattfrei Sir_David_King Bollox. Over 40 in Cyprus when I was 16. This is BS of the highest order. Stop with your ClapTrap! 💩

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King Well I spent six months in Iraq in summer. 57°C , 70°C in the vehicles. Helmet/body armour etc. Saying people won't live long in 40° is bullshit. The bloke is mental.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Are those excess deaths going to be people dying from Heart Attacks ,Strokes and Blood Clots because they happened to ignore your advice actually went outside and enjoyed this new supposedly deadly killer called SUMMER ? Will I be Ok if I wear a mask ?

mattfrei Sir_David_King How come so many people go on holiday for 2 weeks and come back alive ?

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King Utter Bullshido. This climate hysteria is cringe worthy.

mattfrei Sir_David_King The way they think that people don’t know how to look after themselves and we’re all just going to stand still in the sun for 8 hours without drinking and wearing bear skin 🤪

mattfrei Sir_David_King He should have said people should ring their GP to make an appointment Nobody would be outside on either day

mattfrei Sir_David_King Scaremongering at it’s worst

mattfrei Sir_David_King Hilarious! People have lost the plot if they take this seriously! Get some sunscreen on, wear a hat and enjoy a cold beer or two… the biggest risk to your life is drowning in the paddling pool

mattfrei Sir_David_King More die in cold weather than the hot. So stop with your BS fear mongering.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Climate change lockdowns here we go

mattfrei Sir_David_King Oh behave for goodness sake. Absolutely ludicrous, it really is. Is Sir David King in anyway related to Neil Ferguson? Because I’m kinda thinking that this is just as much retarded crap as Mr Ferguson spouts.

mattfrei Sir_David_King It's 40 degrees in the UAE from June until September. Are they all dropping like flies!

mattfrei Sir_David_King I worked all through the deadliest virus on the planet and I’m about to work through the hottest two days in a million years. I must be superhuman.

mattfrei Sir_David_King He is being daft. No way only 10000 will die. 100000 will die 'with it being hot'.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Oh what? 2 days - what codswallop! I’ve been at my sisters many times in Spain in above 40!

mattfrei Sir_David_King What a load of bedwetting nonsense as usual from the London Bedwetting Corporation.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Experienced 46 deg in Sharm El sheikh for 2 weeks a decade ago and I am still here to tell the tale. MSM are scaremongering yet again.

mattfrei Sir_David_King 😂😂😂💉💉💉

mattfrei Sir_David_King How do people cope in much hotter climates? I survived '76!

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King What a loads of old cobblers.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Just go to the lake and swim 🤦

mattfrei Sir_David_King Is it excess, or slightly sooner than otherwise? As a public health official, he must be acquainted with the years of life lost metric. Not unsympathetic, but we're all born to die.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Be careful NickFerrariLBC won’t like this bit of truth

mattfrei Sir_David_King 'What a load of crap' is what Dr Vernon Coleman would say. He would also say what a great way to hide more deaths, i.e, myocarditis caused by the Covid death shot.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Utter and total scaremongery I am afraid. I just wish the MSM and so called know it all scientists would stop all this BS. Wednesday back to normal temps.. meanwhile use common sense and be safe.

mattfrei Sir_David_King

mattfrei Sir_David_King Rubbish. I was out walking today in Dubai in 42 degree hit with relatively high humidity. I managed 8kms quite comfortably.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Maybe they have a heat vaccine to jab the at risk with 🤣

mattfrei Sir_David_King What an utter bed-wetter.

mattfrei Sir_David_King On Wednesday will LBC be reporting just how wrong yet another scientist gets it? Far more people die of cold in the UK than heat and with the green levy putting already putting heating bills through the roof I'm guessing there will be a few more this year.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Sir Stupidity really should get out of his basement. Work all day long at +42C to +48C.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Shut up

mattfrei Sir_David_King I am booked to play golf ⛳️ 😎

mattfrei Sir_David_King *Especially after a couple of boosters... Is this a prediction of what is to come...? 🤔

mattfrei Sir_David_King English people and the weather! Lol

mattfrei Sir_David_King What utter, utter nonsense!

mattfrei Sir_David_King It’s 36 degrees in Greece , I’m on the beach, , it’s 4.00pm , no one has died yet

mattfrei Sir_David_King Don’t worry it will all be over by the end of next week then it will be so cold that we will all die

mattfrei Sir_David_King My mate was in Bangladesh last year,he told me the temperature was frequently 42+..Guess how he told me this? He's still alive,and so are his family. What utter bollocks.

mattfrei Sir_David_King ItSucksToBeThem

mattfrei Sir_David_King People work in these temperatures all the time in Middle East and Asia, as do the armed forces. So sad to see the mental deterioration of such a large proportion of the establishment and MSM.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Is this 28 days after the heatwave?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Every last one of them triple jabbed….great cover for rapid depopulation as a result of vaxx injuries

mattfrei Sir_David_King So how comes there's anyone alive in Seville?

mattfrei Sir_David_King Based on Covid death predictions will that be 100,000

mattfrei Sir_David_King So 10k additional people gonna drop dead next week? Ok then mate ✌️

mattfrei Sir_David_King So how many died in these countrys . Its wrather its summer ...

mattfrei Sir_David_King Come to Spain 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

mattfrei Sir_David_King I’m sure my building site will remain open. As long as you sign the RAMS

mattfrei Sir_David_King You really are very transparent with your agenda. History isn't going to judge you well.

mattfrei Sir_David_King Just a reminder of the Daily regular Temperatures in Kuwait Not some one of event in the middle of britishsummertime

mattfrei Sir_David_King Oh shut tf up already 😆

mattfrei Sir_David_King People in hot countries are acclimatised. We in the UK are not. Look after the elderly, the very young, the vulnerable, pets, and your own organs (give them plenty of water) over the next few days. Avoid physical activity in the heat wherever possible.
