Lockdown Sceptics (yes - them again - those with implicit trust in our government should stop reading now) draw attention today to a previous occasion on which we were treated to unfounded scaremongering about a mutant virus, albeit on a smaller scale.

Is the New Variant tactic just a retread of the old HIV-2 assertions reheated and rebranded for our new Covid lockdown insanity?

"That was despite some experts, including top-ranking Nobel prize-winning scientists at the heart of the fight against AIDS, trying to let us know that HIV had never been established as the cause of the syndrome. They showed that both predictions of spread, and tests claiming to show infection with the virus, were invalid"

It is apparently true (although I haven't researched this myself as yet) that the numbers admitted to hospital "with Covid" have risen over the last couple of weeks. But were they sick "because of Covid" or perhaps sick because of the seasonal cold snap that now seems to have abated slightly (although it's back to "cold and bright" in Hampshire today, Christmas Eve)? Or sick from something else? Of course, this is exactly what the statistics do not tell us, never have told us, and never will tell us.
