Both of the gents concerned are no fans of the BBC which I presume they feel is not the bastion of neutrality that it used to be.
Yet, the channels their links come from have a clear political agenda which both videos fuel.
I’ve watched a few of he Ross Noble lookalikes videos before and I find him unconvincing as he seems to flit between things that have you thinking”fair point” and mad conspiracy stuff.
Dr Malhotra is a different matter though, I found him to be convincing and knowledgeable and I could believe what he was saying which, f I understood him correctly, was that a lot of they early claims made regarding the capabilities of the vaccine have been proved to be wrong.
Should we be surprised by this though? Surely not. The first vaccines appeared almost a year to the day since stories about a possibly deadly new virus began emerging from Wuhan, how could anyone claim with total authority that a vaccine manufactured and tested in such a short time would be completely safe?
My attitude when I was booked in for my first vaccine was that there were certainly risks involved in having it, but the risks presented by a new variant of Covid which was more deadly than the original were greater. Now, surprise, surprise, it’s emerging that the vaccines aren’t what they were originally claimed to be and, for me at least, this is a completely predictable development which is being seized upon those who were originally Covid sceptics and are now desperate to cling on to any scraps which they see as a vindication for their views.
As I’ve mentioned before, all you need to do is go back to the Covid thread on here which was started in March 2020 and look at the contributions from some of the usual suspects to be reminded of how completely and utterly wrong they were at the time.
