How the media is still misleading people
Dr Vernon Coleman | The mainstream media is excited. Monkeypox has been upgraded to the same category as the plague. Doctors must now inform their local council if they suspect that a patient has the disease. I’m not sure what councils will do. Panic, increase car parking fees and put out a panicky press release is my best guess. The media leapt at the opportunity to remind everyone that covid-19 was made a notifiable disease on 5th March 2020. What no one bothered to mention was that on 19th March 2020, the UK Government downgraded covid-19 to the status of the flu. Covid-19 was a dangerous disease for exactly two weeks. And then AFTER the downgrade, the country was put into lockdown and the UK Government published its 358 page Emergency Bill.
