We need to keep vaccine clot risks in proportion
THE charge sheet against Johnson and his tawdry and corrupt regime is long enough already without having to add false accusations, as Trevor Woolley has done in April 9’s
undermining his own case in the process.
The fact remains that the chances of suffering a blood clot from the vaccine are far less than one from the virus itself, let alone its other effects.
We have to keep these risks in proportion.
There is another far bigger danger from the AstraZeneca vaccine, and all other vaccines, that never gets mentioned: vaccinations will never be safe so long as people drive to the centre.
PM man of the people?
I HEARD a cracker the other day. A TV news reporter asked a workman on the streets of Hartlepool about his reactions to the forthcoming by-election.
His reply focused on our ridiculous PM. He said that Boris had done a “good job” during the pandemic and he thought he was a man of the people who understood ordinary people!
Now this begs the question about what passes for “ordinary people” in Hartlepool. Is a salary in excess of a quarter of a million pounds commonplace in Hartlepool? Is it customary in Hartlepool to be married and divorced three times and be unsure of exactly how many children one had? Is it being “one of the people” to lie and cheat? Maybe being “one of the people” means that one can avoid responsibility for the deaths of 140,000 people?
I wonder when Bojo will show genuine remorse for his incompetence. We have paid the price and will keep on paying it while ever people make excuses for his lack of ability.
Mind you if they believe Johnson has done a good job up in Hartlepool it might just be the best place in the UK to avoid reality!
Playing the percentages
MR Schofield (Feedback, April 6), wanders from wonderland through the looking glass into Fantasia!
“Ignorance is bliss”, his attempts at Feedback prove that point beyond doubt, writing “the figures provided for export and import between the EU and UK for January 2021 were in billions not percentages”!
In a previous Feedback I offered to lend Mr Schofield the novels of George Orwell; he had been taken in by a spurious quote.
To help him understand how a number can also be a percentage, I still have a few maths and statistics text books used in a degree many years ago.
I would gladly let him have them: with a little bit of help he then might also be able to turn a number into a percentage!
Constant negativity
I WOULD like to bet that Messrs Woolley, Jenkinson and Charlesworth suck the joy and life from any room they enter.
These individuals haven’t a good word to say about anyone, especially anyone with an alternative opinion.
They constantly bombard the Feedback column with their two topics of hate – Brexiteers and Conservativism.
I feel empathy for all the people who have been targeted by these people. And they wonder why letter writers use pseudonyms to accompany their Feedback letters?
