    Has any other UNPROVEN vaccine for a serious virus been given such a big 'shove' to be produced and rolled out so quickly, especially one with such a low mortality rate in comparison with many other more serious known diseases mankind has faced?

    Jeez, you'd think they'd found a cure for cancer!

    And in terms of "current legislation", the key word there is "current". That can soon be changed if the government give themselves a good enough excuse! Sorry, I understand your scepticism, but I see NOTHING to disprove the prediction I made earlier of how this pandemic is likely to unfold, only increasing evidence to justify it.

    I don't know what will happen, nor does anyone else, but I thought the Oxford University group were being wildly over-optimistic in their prediction of a successful, proven vaccine by September this year. Now they're back-pedalling as reality bites.

    'So how did the founder of Microsoft, who has poured billions into global healthcare from the philanthropic foundation he runs with his wife Melinda, become the bogeyman of Covid-19 conspiracy theorists?

    Prof Joseph Uscinski, a political scientist at the University of Miami and author of books on conspiracy theories, believes it is simply because he is rich and famous.

    "Conspiracy theories are about accusing powerful people of doing terrible things," he told the BBC. "The theories are basically the same,
    just the names change.

    "Before Bill Gates, it was George Soros and the Koch brothers and the Rothchilds and the Rockefellers."

    And while the majority of conspiracy theories "die on the vine", the ones that endure are those that offer "big villains and address issues that people care about".

    "It should come as no surprise that rich people and big corporations are being accused of conspiring to put chips in our necks because that is a thing we fear," he said.

    "This has been the ammo of conspiracy theories for a long, long time."

    While he thinks such conspiracies have "no tether to the truth whatsoever", people still seem to be falling for them.
    More than a quarter of all Americans and 44% of Republicans believe that Bill Gates wants to use a Covid-19 vaccine to implant microchips under people's skin, according to a survey from Yahoo News and YouGov.'

    Yes, and of course the BBC is our officially appointed bastion of the reporting of all unbiased truth!

    Oh my sides.... And of course, never would it dream of pandering to the establishment agenda, no siree...

    Anyway, I'll reply properly later

    Yet you quote/refer to Daily Mail articles?

    Only if it contains information I think is worth considering, just as Joe has done with his link to the BBC. It's not that I believe that what's contained in any newspaper article represents the truth, Daily Mail or otherwise, but that doesn't meant it doesn't warrant consideration.

    Summat else you can't make up..

    Like I said one son in law is plod, the other is BT openreach

    He got sent to an address out of town yesterday to install 6 new secure top of the range internet access phone lines / whatever in what he says was not a Bio Tech facility.

    Very strict security no mobiles etc etc.

    but get this, he arrives, has his temperature taken and is given an unasked for covid swab test. He has to wait 40 mins in his van to be told he's negative.

    So an important non biotech outfit has the facilities to process the test on site in 40mins or less but us mere mortals are expected to be herded and die like sheep.. you really can't make it up.
    Add water... Makes It's own sauce! + Don't Do Rap.. Don't do Urrban.. Don't do Modern R&B and Don't Do Radio 1 cos it's all fecking SHITE

    I would credit anything on the BBC website about 1,000 times more than anything I read on the Daily Mail website.
