  "it's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they've been fooled.

  it's not just jw's who blindly follow their leaders.

  it's horrifying to see how easily mass-hysteria has been instilled in a nation.

  Boogyboy getting his science from some rambling man on YouTube and pretending that equates to 'information'.

  I spotted specific lies in the first 2 minutes.

  following the daily covid19 briefing, in which boris johnson defended his advisor dominic cummings for travelling to his family estate after showing symptoms of the virus, the civil service official twitter feed posted the following.. .

  the tweet was quickly deleted.

  i can't overstate how unthinkable it is that the service should publicly criticise the government of the day.. boris' defense of cummings is a huge error in judgement and will destroy its credibility.

  Fadeaway - Chequers was the perfect place to recuperate after his battle with Covid19. I think you are being a bit petty. On the other hand Cummings actions are indefensible.

  Boris' defense of Cummings is a huge error in judgement and will destroy its credibility. I suspect it will come to light that Boris knew of his advisor's intention to travel in advance. Heads will roll over this. It remains to be seen which heads and how many.

  if mankind needed to be redeemed from sin and death, why didn't the redemption happen as soon as jesus successfully lived his entire life without sin and sacrificed his life?

  if he was successful, the price was paid and we'd all be living forever.

  it's all bullshit, or jesus fucked up and sinned, so it nullified his sacrifice.

  There is hope for our despicable race nevertheless - Joan

  Utterly contemptible. I am so pleased I am no longer infected by that mind virus.

  Mark Lynas, a visiting fellow at Cornell University’s Alliance for Science group, debunked the idea that a DNA vaccine could genetically modify an organism. Lynas told Reuters that no vaccine can genetically modify human DNA.

  “That’s just a myth, one often spread intentionally by anti-vaccination activists to deliberately generate confusion and mistrust,” he said. “Genetic modification would involve the deliberate insertion of foreign DNA into the nucleus of a human cell, and vaccines simply don’t do that. Vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize a pathogen when it attempts to infect the body - this is mostly done by the injection of viral antigens or weakened live viruses that stimulate an immune response through the production of antibodies.”

  Lynas added: “The DNA [in DNA vaccines] does not integrate into the cell nucleus so this isn’t genetic modification - if the cells divide they will only include your natural DNA. But this approach is incredibly promising for COVID because it can be scaled up very quickly, and is very versatile - it is easy to synthetically produce DNA sequences that match the required bits of viral genetic code.”

  Dr Paul McCray, Professor of Pediatrics, Microbiology, and Internal Medicine at the University of Iowa further explained to Reuters via email how the COVID-19 vaccines being developed would work:

  “For COVID-19, the main protein used to boost the immune system is the spike (S) protein from the virus. This can be given as a vaccine in many different forms: as inactivated (dead) virus, as expressed protein, in a DNA or RNA vector that will make cells make this protein, etc. So the only modification to the host is to stimulate them to make antibodies and T cells that will prevent infection with the virus or kill any infected cells to prevent or reduce disease severity. This is what happens if you get a virus infection naturally, but the vaccine takes the risk of serious disease out of the equation.”

  As I said conspiracy theorists are gullible dolts.

  Auto - Either Kaufman is a liar and you are a dolt for not doing your research.

  Injecting DNA from a virus does NOT genetically modify the host. Kaufman must know this from his medical training.

  Conspiracy theorists are the most naive and gullible people in society - ironically they think they are enlightened.

  Exactly like JWs.

  Thank you Iriddle80 - I think that it is important to really understand a subject before you criticise it. Try to present it in a way that an opponent would not need to correct. I think it is sometimes referred to as a steelman position as opposed to a strawman.

  Joan - You admit that christianity has made you despise the human race. Why should anybody respect your dehumanising dogma?

  Boogy - What piece of the devolution settlement do you imagine Boris has 'ripped up' exactly?

  It's not that complicated. Protecting UK borders is a matter for Westminster, it was never devolved. No consultation is necessary. Specific implementation of new UK rules on overseas visitors is being left to devolved governments. e.g what the penalties are for breaking the rules.

  Rules regarding public health, education etc are devolved and have been decided by devolved governments throughout.

  So Scotland cannot ignore the new rules on the requirement for people entering the country via Edinburgh airport to be quarantined for 14 days - that would be illegal and Nicola Sturgeon need not be consulted - but they have responsibility to make specific plans how to implement the change. They can however decide when schools return.

  Simple.
