@nornirongooner @DarraghStatham @allianceparty No, which is why you follow the consensus.
Anyway, I've things to do so heading on here.

@nornirongooner @DarraghStatham @allianceparty You can, of course, have an opinion, but you can't expect people to give it the same weight as that of an expert on an issue.

@nornirongooner @DarraghStatham @allianceparty On the balance of probability, the chances of random people getting the response to the pandemic right is significantly lower than medically qualified people (eg virologists, epidemiologists).

@nornirongooner @DarraghStatham @allianceparty I have no doubt people can make mistakes. However, if I have a problem with my pipework, I get a plumber. If I need brain surgery, I'll go to a brain surgeon.
They might make a mistake, but they'll be less likely to than an amateur debating the issue on social media. >

@nornirongooner @DarraghStatham @allianceparty It does make them well-informed. Not infallible, but with a particular set of skills and knowledge pertinent to the subject matter at hand.

@nornirongooner @DarraghStatham @allianceparty What expertise do you have to persuade a health professional on how to deal with a pandemic?

@DarraghStatham @nornirongooner @allianceparty You've already been saying for over a year you'd never vote for us again, which is up to you.
I haven't seen the context of the exchange, but I'd say it was lecturing: you're not open to persuasion, so there's no debate. Someone medically qualified might find that pointless.

@nornirongooner @allianceparty Maybe lecturing on healthcare issues to a nurse, who actually worked during the pandemic and got his training somewhere other than social media, was where you went wrong here?

@SteveDonnelly95 Lazenby is ONLY useful for quiz answers.
But Sean Connery is fantastic. He has just the right amount of irony to make it work.
