RE: Restrictions imposed off of the back of Pfizer data!11 Dec 2021 16:17
Ah ha, well Atb to your dad anyway.
I disagree about preemptive moves, we don’t do it in law I.e arrest people of a certain profile because data suggests, we don’t walk about with an erect umbrella unless it actively raining etc etc the reason IMO we must wait for the data are for the other harms as described by wizard, such as every other disease, impact on mental health (male suicide rates are through the roof currently), impact and SME’ the largest collective employer in the UK.
IF your going to damage those aforementioned things your surely need complete, impartial data with which to balance a decision.
Just for fun I’ll throw this fact at you the uk’ information commissioner ordered the government to release the complete impact statements in relation to the last two lockdowns to the public by 30-11-21, as yet the government hasn’t complied.
I hope they balanced the decisions competently as the current 150k covid deaths could well be dwarfed by the “all other disease” deaths, cancer referrals are circa 500k below normal levels, sure hope cancer has gone away. That’s without all the others.
Not trying to “win” this chat and I respect your opinion even if it’s different to mine.
All my opinion.
