New thread on #AllisonPearson! Continuing from the old thread linked below https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/1346027240887300096
2/n Just an idle note on the irony: now that Brexit has happened, UK citizens may not be able to charge the NHS for costs of a knee-operation in Poland. Them's the breaks. https://twitter.com/allisonpearson/status/1312748789757890565
3/ This December tweet from @allisonpearson seems like a direct lie. Judge for yourself, compare with reports from *real* journalists:

and https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/02/uk/uk-coronavirus-hospitals-emergency-gbr-intl/index.html

4/n Direct lie, or just plain total uninformed imecility from @allisonpearson? You be the judge. Remember, as shown in the first thread, she expressly claimed not to post against lockdowns.

5/n Let's look at *facts* that @allisonpearson can't be bothered with when she makes her claims. Facts gathered by *genuine* journalists. Reminder: more people now in UK hospitals with #COVID19 than there were in the April peak. Deaths lag, but ascending

6/n In this thread, and the replies to it, a claim of @allisonpearson's was examined, and found to be (surprise!) wholly untrue. It's so far from the truth right now, it's attaining light-speed. https://twitter.com/cheesedoff3/status/1341780806960881664
7/ A reminder: @allisonpearson of the @Telegraph expressly, directly claimed not to post against lockdowns. I'm saying that is a lie. https://twitter.com/allisonpearson/status/1337526185291640832
8/ Reminder: @allisonpearson directly claimed she didn't post against lockdowns. You may think my saying that's a lie is strong words. See below.
As for her claim lockdowns only postpone deaths, that's either a lie, or merely fatuous drivel from a halfwit.

9/n A side-thread, separate, on ethical issues. https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/1346060664087998469
10/ For a change, here is a Tory MP, the Member of Parliament for Harborough, telling the absolute, unvarnished truth about @toadmeister's Lockdown-Sceptics crap (remember the #fakenews photo and post that #AllisonPearson tweeted out?): https://twitter.com/NeilDotObrien/status/1345786070936465408
11/ Here's @allisonpearson, yet again declaiming on subjects she's all too plainly willfully ignorant of. Does it also constitute part of a hate-campaign against the NHS? You be the judge. But you can't deny she doesn't have a clue. >73,000 dead in the UK
https://twitter.com/allisonpearson/status/1304412120080150528
12/ @allisonpearson threatens legal action against a man for his allegedly saying she's part of a hate-campaign against the #NHS. Except #AllisonPearson lied before (photo "100% faked", remember?) & from below, maybe she's lying about not hating on the NHS
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/first-trip-private-gp-convinced-nhs-sick-joke/
13/ The below is a lie. I repeat, @allisonpearson is lying with this claim. #COVID19 *can and does* kill young people too, we still don't know the long-term effects in children, & the purpose of the vaccine is ALSO to stop transmission of the virus.
https://twitter.com/allisonpearson/status/1343261619346952195
14/ Here, @AllisonPearson, who has lied about a photo of a sick boy on a floor in a hospital, who has lied about the effects of the #COVID19 second-wave, who has vindictively & viciously threatened a member of the public, gets terribly unconsciously ironic.
15/ Here, @allisonpearson is claiming to know better than an epidemiologist. Except, even only in London, hardest-hit of the UK, seroprevalence of +ve #COVID19 status is only around 17.5%. So far over 75,000 have died in the UK.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-covid-19-surveillance-reports/sero-surveillance-of-covid-19 https://twitter.com/allisonpearson/status/1342817195009695744
16/ In easy-to-understand words for @allisonpearson. If, in *the hardest-hit area*, <20% are #COVID19 seropositive, & already over 75,000 are dead, then safely assume the other 80% not yet exposed will have an even larger number of dead if exposed to it https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/1346089921950396419
17/ In the two threads I have now done:
a/ @allisonpearson's direct claim she does not post against "lockdowns, tracing and quarantine" has been demonstrated to be false.
b/ Her many posts of misinformation on #COVID19 have been amply demonstrated.
18/ Also demonstrated in these two threads:
a/ @allisonpearson's relationship with the truth is tenuous at the best of times, and downright nonexistent at times, as when she claimed a photo of a sick boy on a floor was "100% fake". https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/1346031571032268801
19/ Also demonstrated in these two threads of mine:

@allisonpearson is simply grossly uninformed, vocal but imbecilic, on #COVID19 in general, and many of her claims are directly dangerous. https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/1346037615355695104
20/ As to whether @allisonpearson is crassly hypocritical, and insufferably vindictive and malicious, you can be the judge of that from my two threads. https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/1346027240887300096
21/ Oh, and I left out @allisonpearson's implicit claim not to be part of any hate-campaign against the UK NHS. Judge from all this for yourself. I have many more statements of hers bookmarked. https://twitter.com/Gurdur/status/1346079013257809920
22/ One addendum on @allisonpearson's self-own on some of her stupid remarks on #COVID19:
"I’ve asked so many people if they know anyone who has had Covid. Hardly anyone."

23/ One more addendum: thread from @GregoryDavisHNH on @allisonpearson running a months-long hate campaign against public health officials and scientists. https://twitter.com/GregoryDavisHNH/status/1346048650166890496
