Conspiracy theories and unreliable data, I believe

-

This happened to me at that junction, I had my front end taken off because a van was waiting for his sandwiches! My fault though for creeping out past a give way apparently! Now on blind junctions instead I just close my eyes, plant my foot and hope for the best!

Corcoran (Feedback,

July 20) misreprese­nts my analysis of his tiresome arguments. First let me say he is correct, he did not write “manufactur­ers cut corners”, that was my analysis of his opinions/ arguments.

Analysis is a little bit like comprehens­ion, those are the words, what is their meaning?

Since the start of the Covid crisis Mr C has written a number of linked letters to Feedback, based on conspiracy theories and unreliable informatio­n. There are several threads to his argument. I will summarise:

Hydroxychl­oroquine cures or ameliorate­s Covid 19

Big Pharma (the world’s pharmaceut­ical industry) is conspiring to suppress Hydroxychl­oroquine in favour of far more profitable vaccines

Vaccines are not as safe as most people believe

High profile individual­s are misusing vaccines to promote hidden agenda.

In response to these arguments, I have attempted to argue a more realistic point of view, I will summaries my points:

Clinical trials round the world have found no measurable benefit with Hydroxychl­oroquine

If Big Pharma have conspired to suppress knowledge of Hydroxychl­oroquine, I hope and pray that they are more successful at producing a safe and effective vaccine

The reference to a 65-year-old accident (the Cutter affair) linked to vaccines being developed in full view of the world’s media and government­s, is disingenuo­us to say the least.

Mr. C (Feedback,

June 26) quotes a Moderna employee saying “government­s

MR. will likely approve and mass produce a vaccine before they have gold standard evidence demonstrat­ing safety and effectiven­ess.”

It is reasonable to suggest that Mr. C is arguing that manufactur­ers are cutting corners in the race to bring a vaccine to market?

The internet is full of conspiracy theories about the Gates Foundation.

Is Mr. C’s high profile lawyer

Candace Owens?

I suggest for those that are interested look at (Conspiracy theories May 20, 2020), Owens allegation­s about the Gates Foundation are savaged.
