Yeadon has published, and has kept published, a known lie https://twitter.com/MichaelYeadon3/status/1318450567631544320 https://twitter.com/MichaelYeadon3/status/131845056763154432... Why would someone who deals in facts do such a thing? Surely the correct position would be to correct and remove. Personally anyone who refers to his material is tarnished. On a general point, there are many people now growing in fame (and monetising that) due to the pandemic. Are their interests aligned with a pandemic ending, what do they pivot to?

That is a very long twitter thread. What in it is a known lie?

  The first two posts, perhaps more? Considering the OP is calling into question why this person was booted from some social media, posting lies about public hospitals and their staff during a pandemic seems a fair reason. Shame the posts on Twitter remain and a shame Twitter themselves have not taken action.

    Two first posts: "A source just gave me the following information. A hospital in Wales, Nevill Hall in Abergavenny, has 250 beds. 200 beds are empty. The surgeons are bored & pass much time on the nearby golf course. I think this might be one answer to why UK doctors are not investigating to find out why hospitals have no patients in them! Apparently all covid cases are currently being sent to this hospital. This story tallies with the original evidence which drew me into this ghastly mess we’ve made of our country. I’ve not mentioned this..." What in it is a known lie?

      You appear a clever chap, so you can verify that the statements are false. You can also locate where the author also states they are false, but does not delete them. It might be a sixth form debating point, but you have also have previously posted "The problem is that it has become acceptable to treat ideas as dangerous. For example, if I want to deny the Holocaust, that is my right." That is where I bow out, with a link to show how such 'ideas' and 'rights' have real world impact during this pandemic https://twitter.com/dashaburns/status/1332798207911399424?s=12 https://twitter.com/dashaburns/status/1332798207911399424?s=... Have a great day / life etc.
