Patrick Vallance doesn’t like being called out.
Sir Patrick Vallance has hit back at critics who have accused scientists of scaremongering over Covid-19, saying that ministers need to ‘hear the information whether uncomfortable or encouraging’.
No10’s chief scientific adviser said that it is not his job to spread optimism about the virus – but instead to give ministers the data.
Vallance is a mendacious liar. He is being criticised precisely because he and his colleagues have engaged in scaremongering – the behavioural psychologists enacted a deliberate policy of gaslighting to scare people into obedience with the insane, stupid, useless rules being proposed. They only modelled for the worst case scenario. They were operating on a policy based evidence creation trip. That’s why he is being rightly criticised. The man is a charlatan and a scoundrel. His defence is to build a strawman.
In a scathing rebuke of Tory MPs and commentators who have criticised advice and modelling being given to ministers by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), Sir Patrick accused them of ignoring evidence about the Omicron variant to fit with their political agenda.
Hello, Mr. Pot meet Mr. Kettle.
The scientist, writing in The Times, insisted that ministers needed to ‘hear the information whether uncomfortable or encouraging’.
Precisely and in only modelling for the worst case scenario – and being wildly inaccurate and not adjusting for real world data, this is exactly what Vallance and his fellow popinjays were not doing.
Sir Patrick wrote in The Times: ‘Those who want to engage seriously with a debate that affects us all need to consider all the data in the round, not only those that fit an argument and ignore the rest. That is not science.’
Computer modelling is not science. Failing to respond to real world feedback is not science. Only presenting the worst case scenario is not science. Deliberately gaslighting a population is not science. The lack of self awareness from this creature is remarkable.
His remarks tell you everything – it’s the blurting of a liar who’s been publicly rumbled. They always project. Always.
Is it opposites day today then? Black is white, up is down and short is long?
No. Saturnalia was December 17th.
Predictions are not data. Data is stuff that has happened and been measured. Sir P really needs to understand the difference.
Who will be the one to fire anti-liberty Vallance?
Sorry, that pun was just too obvious to miss
