That’s exactly what he is saying. And he’s not alone in saying so.
Well, not that you will believe this, but he’s wrong. In the week to 26 October there were about 60 COVID positive deaths in London. In the week to 7 December there were over 200. Not what Yeadon would predict with his immunity theory. The tests might not be 100% accurate on an individual basis but they are directionally correct, they show the trend.

I’m afraid I won’t give Delingpole advertising revenue by clicking on his channel.

Covid positive deaths? Deaths within 28 days of a positive PCR test?
 
Yes. I know you, or Yeadon, will have some reason to ignore this data too.
I hoped you’d listen to what he had to say. I take on board much of what you post, I believe you to be a decent, honest man.

Every reply, with exception of Frome and Col perhaps, has slated Yeadon and his contributions, without the slightest idea what he’s got to say!

I’m sorry, I am not listening to anything broadcast by a crypto fascist like Delingpole, and funding the dissemination of alt right propaganda by doing so. I listened to Yeadon on the hideous Hartley Brewer thing. In the past on this thread I have conceded that Yeadon has some points re accuracy of this testing. But his desperation to broadcast his opinions seemingly on any platform makes me more suspicious of him, especially if, as you intimated, he tailors his message to be more extreme and confrontational the more extreme the platform he is on, playing to his audience I guess.

You don’t know me Woody. I’m far from a decent man.

For the record, I wasn't defending Yeadon in any way.
I was merely pointing out that I don't think you're saying that the whole thing is a hoax.

I still like you, mate.

I don’t think it was a case of playing to the audience, just that on talk radio he was limited as to what he could say. Ultimately the only difference, other than the depth of topic, was the challenges and anger toward Vallance.

I really don’t think this man has an ulterior motive, and I really would be surprised if any on here listened to him and didn’t pause for thought, but I may be proved wrong of course.
 
Staff at Sandringham refuse to go into a four week bubble together, not seeing their families for this period to allow the Queen to have Christmas there. So she has to stay at Windsor, or Buck House, or one of her other pads, where the staff don’t have families. Or spines. Apparently she’s hopping mad.

The revolution has started!

At last, some good news. Maybe she can cook the turkey for all the royals and give them the running trots <laugh><laugh>

Cheers Col. I’m not, but I’ll leave it alone now (for a day or two), as I’ve said many times, the scientific views should be debated, which they’re not, but first, we have to acknowledge that there is a debate to be had, then demand the debate.

Yes and No. The scientific views should indeed be debated but not by politicians who have their own agendas, the great unwashed which includes most on this forum (with the obvious exception of Beth and Stan) simply because we do not have the knowledge to make a judgment about this, and by harbingers of doom who spread dangerous and illiterate misinformation on matters of public safety.

Just occasionally orthodoxy gets it right and until the majority of those qualified to express a view ie trained scientists who are specialists in the field are persuaded nothing to see here
