Ivor Cummins kan även han göra felaktiga bedömningar, särskilt om man ger sig på ett cherry pick i en enskild kort period.
Men tittar man på hur galna beräkningar och den skräckpropaganda Imperial College’s Professor Neil Ferguson kom med så är Ivor Cummins rena undret av tillförlitlighet.
The response to Covid-19 in the UK, the US and other countries was shaped by the dramatic headlines in mid-March, suggesting 550,000 deaths in the UK and 2.2 million in the US. Faced with widely publicised, alarming figures, as demonstrated by Imperial College’s Professor Neil Ferguson, governments were forced to react with the unprecedented lockdown to suppress Covid-19. No one looked at his ten years of predictions that were wrong.
The results of his previous models produced wildly inaccurate results: the prediction of 200 million deaths worldwide from bird flu in 2005, when just 282 people died between 2003 and 2009, without locking down economies. That model had serious flaws. He used an undocumented, highly complex, 13-year-old computer code for a feared influenza pandemic.

Varför lyssnar någon till Neil Ferguson och hans galna bedömningar.

He was part of the team advising the government on strategies to contain the coronavirus pandemic, until he resigned over a breach of lockdown rules.
Problemet är att nu sitter han där igen (!) och ger sina galna råd i Corona-hanteringen. Hans ansikte syns inte utåt längre, men har är med där och ger råd till regeringen hur de borde tackla pandemin.
Och Boris som är skräckslagen efter att ha haft en nära döden upplevelsen lyssnar. Trots att killen har aldrig haft rätt hittills.
De kanske är kompisar sen många år tillbaka? Eller sen känner Ferguson någon annan mycket viktig person som sa till honom att säga upp sig när det var som värst med kritiken och sen komma tillbaka i tysthet när uppmärksamheten är på annat håll.
Jag förstår inte att Boris inte får kritik för detta.. En kvacksalvare som rådgivare.
