Disgusting. Fuels discrimination.
Discussing Imane Khelifs legal complaint, the journalist from the Daily Mail says: "Just look at her" Attacks that have emboldened a hack from a right wing rag to police how women should look. Where else did the people making these attacks think it would end?

She worked hard. Despite being written off, with support and determination she turned her life around, put herself forward to serve - and was elected. Too many people are told they’re not good enough and get held back from fulfilling their potential. I’m proud of who I am.

"We're in a very serious situation, and I cannot for the life of me see why they are defending a privatised test trace and isolate system that clearly doesn't work and spending a fortune on it." @globalhlthtwit

Increase in infection in first 9 days after UK vaccination consistent with Israeli data. Interpretation by Israeli authors is that people are letting down their guard re protective behaviours after vaccination. SAGE & @IndependentSage have published reports raising this concern.
Surprising to see that the authors attributed an increase in infection in the first 9 days post-vaccine to underlying risk and used that as the baseline for subsequent reductions. I doubt that this will be accepted by peer reviewers.

Not helped by myths going around about the degree of protection given by the first dose and belief that it prevents the person vaccinated from being infected (which may or may not be the case) theguardian.com/world/2021/j…
