Talking to me before Christmas, he told me how worried he was that arguments about the evidence were endless and going nowhere. He explained why he thinks our focus (as sceptics and critics of government policy) is on the wrong place and must shift to the most fundamental issue of all – our threatened fundamental human rights.
The problem, he said to me, is that if we get caught up in a scientific discussion or in medical beliefs about Covid – because Covid has indeed become a faith – we move away from the area that we should be talking about, the one that underlies everything else, which is what we allow to be done to our bodies, to us.
