Nothing at all comparing and debating different research is good. What isn't is a tenedency to dismiss research that goes against a pesonal opinion as lies and the scientist being corrupt and in the pockets of poliiticians that want to lock us down and restict business. Though thats never explained why they would want to do something that hurts the economy and is unpopular.
I’m not sure @BlueAnorak has ever suggested anything like that, yet that other clown has been on his case for a couple of weeks now and simply won’t shut his grid
 
By which you mean South African experts whose views you think support your own.

Not South African experts who think German restrictions are appropriate: “So we would do well to be very careful with this variant.”

Do you go with that expert?


that’s the trouble with science it’s all about opinions ;)
 
I realise this is very early on for this question as we are only at week 4, But Omicon and Long Covid? any evidence doing the rounds?

He’s just saying be cautious. Well there’s a novel idea.

In serious vein, science progresses by scientists having different opinions, then testing those against data.

Bluemoon, on the other hand, progresses by having an opinion, then entrenching it regardless of the data.

In the early stages of anything new, scientists and experts will have different opinions. A good way to judge whether they're reliable is if they acknowledge the uncertainty and refer to other possibilities.

You'll note since the first emergence of omicron, there are posters here who:
- assert their opinion as fact
- never offer a reference or link to the facts they claim
- insult and dismiss world experts.

Anyone who does any of this should be treated with extreme scepticism IMO

Western Easter is the middle of April and Omicron travels at the speed of Jeff Bezos rather than Phileas Fogg. If it is indeed more virulent, then many of us will no longer be around when they do get their results (even with restrictions). :-(
