Interesting debate on respiratory mechanical ventilation in this thread. I’d be interested as to whether some of those posting have opinions on when ventilation is useful!

Toby Young is going to be a peer. Hooray. Just as my life was being saved by being put on a ventilator, Lord Toby was explaining that this was 'actively harmful'. (April 2020).

I am the co-Editor-in-Chief of @Els_Vaccine & I’ll be the first to say that a lot about academic publishing needs reform. But replacing peer review with ideologically-driven censorship or shutting journals down in the name of “free speech” is not reform.

A good analogy!

"I'm unvaccinated and I'm fine" is like saying "I drove home steaming drunk and made it back OK" Both can be true Neither is a good idea

This is shocking behaviour by YouTube. Does scientific evidence mean nothing?

I think perhaps the person who created the content for this training needs some additional training themselves….

Why did I waste 3 years getting a BSc in Microbiology with first class honours? After all of that, I didn't even know that vectors have nothing to do with the spread of infection. It turns out that infections are actually spread by dust. Loving NHS mandatory training!

surprised to hear @James_A_Reed declare on @BBCr4today that “GPs are not mental health specialists.” Who do you think manages most mental illness in the country, then?

As Omicron spread and isolated/quarantined hospital staff levels posed care risks, we showed marginal benefit from dual lateral flow testing to accelerate safe return to work, and we saw viable virus in 19.4% beyond the CDC 5-day threshold for safe return: link.springer.com/article/10.118…
