Thank you for your persistence. You are seasoned doctors who have seen a thing or two in life and with that comes wisdom. I also so enjoy the dry sense of humour.

I have the Stars and Stripes flying out front. After reading this post the neighbors were puzzled to see me standing at attention in the driveway saluting the flag while singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Perhaps I should have taken time to change out of my jammies.

ANY (!) journalist or ANY scientist who reads this column has to be deaf, blind, and very dumb to avoid seeing who is and isn't "following the science" behind the value of masks in preventing transmission of respiratory viruses.

The mainstream media has "cancelled" references to anyone who doesn't repeat the misinformation of the Big Pharma narrative. It is now so obvious that "following the science" has been replaced by "following the Big Pharma narrative."

Alex Berenson has been commenting this week on his belated appreciation of the American Constitution and democratic framework as well.

Sadly the UK has few of these mechanisms to help us in times like these.

Im canadian and envious in every cell of my body of the US constitution. I even bought “ the federalist papers” from amazon for my library.

looking at Lady Bucket's inquiry; the goal seem to be to keep stuff hidden; and praise all the wonderful souls like shitty witty and evil balance; one looks back at accounts of Edward 8 and Mrs Simpson; how it was all hidden by the UK press; and one naively thought: how quaint and obsolete; (the US press had full coverage)

but in fact maybe nothing changes; the UK is still as it was 90 yrs ago; protecting the "great" and the "grand" and the little people can go lump it;

well done; maybe the ship is changing direction across the Atlantic; meanwhile in the UK, stagnation and much more of the same .........

it is all great and really thank you for your relentless effort in seeking evidence and transparency. the problem with these inquiries seems to be the lack of a clear goal: if they don't translate into a well defined and unambiguous protocol for future pandemics we will always be at the mercy of some Dr. Strangelove who thinks he knows better.
