One of the vaccines used to prevent polio has actually been causing some people to get the disease. Just last month, the World Health Organization announced that two of three strains of polio had been eradicated. It’s been one of the great success stories of modern medicine.

If you wanted a chuckle, then imagine you had the job of the unfortunate civil servant who had been given the job of cobbling together this strange hotch-potch of information.

Britain’s government is exploiting fear to suit its actions, whether on Covid or terrorism. The home secretary told me this week that I faced a terrorist threat that was “severe” and an incident that was “highly likely”. I should be “alert”, she said.

When one’s ability to plan for the future depends entirely upon predicting the whims of technocrats, this is not a free society. udged according to any passable definition of a free society, the United Kingdom is no longer fit for purpose. To those with eyes to see and ears to hear, this has been clear for some time. The simultaneously heavy-handed and ineffective government response to coronavirus is only the most recent example.
