The Commons science and technology committee holds an emergency evidence session to explore scientific evidence regarding the new variant of Covid-19.

The words "guardian" and "news" don't belong in the same sentence.

Britain has been exposed for what is is...thick Britain.

Doing the devil's work I see all will reap what they sow.

The Evidence: Computer generated images aka Cartoons.

They are only concerned because its getting in the way of their agenda.

If there is a strain that has been around since September then its affect has already been in play. It may explain partly why despite measures being overall more restrictive that we have not seen the decrease we may expect (don't get me wrong, I think this is all bs I'm just playing along).
This wouldn't suggest a need to panic or indeed do anything, more just explaining why it appears whatever we do it just keeps coming.

Or perhaps nature is saying this needs to go through the population as all do and to back off a bit.


For those that do believe in the words and intentions of those in control atleast please see that when they can theorise this strain and they can tell you numbers and they can justify further restrictions, full term and still end up with numbers up and they can make it never end. They can have you do whatever weird or completely non sensical things they tell you in the hopes to hit the target.
This is what some people saw all along, perhaps not specifics but the general occirsnces and certainly overall direction.

There is no need for any of this. Why has heard immunity given we have loved with this nonsense or a year. ??? Anyone

[drazenn]

Stop spreading lies Guardian, we had it enough. Oxford University proved there isn’t new “deadlier” breed...

[bishopwhite]

I can just imagine the politicians correcting the scientists answers. Like learning lines to a play. Quiz, haha. Subtle.

[pamelawinson]

Less oxygen in air more radiation. It's attacking immune systems.

[daviddalby]

Tell people how to boost the immune system .

[julietgunn]

Is there anywhere we can watch this without the skipping and cutting out?

[jakezywek]

'Oi Einstein, want your mortgage paying off?'

[pamelawinson]

Is it safe to go out with all the technology radiation waves around. Like high altitude sickness virus. Doctor said so in America.. ....

[pamelawinson]

Total nightmare. Double edged sword ...

[pamelawinson]

Winter bugs now...
Immune systems need boosting ....
Too many bad waves around killing cells...
What is annoying where it all started is clear of virus and shops everything open. ....
