It must be difficult for younger listeners/viewers to appreciate how outstanding the voices of Peter Alliss, John Arlott, Kenneth Wolstenholm, Bill McLaren, Murray Walker, Clive Everton were to their sports. Unlike today where we have lots of channels and lots of voices it used to be a far more exclusive club. These men were the sound of their sport all masters and all missed.
 
I am very much in the minority on almost every question
Me too. I really do not understand why. We all had smallpox vaccinations and now small pox is eradicated. We all had polio vaccinations and now it is extremely rare. If the world had been full of anti vaxxers many of us would probably not be here now.

None of those vaccines were developed, nor definitively proven
in the field, in a matter of months.

So do you wish to contend that with current tech, if polio or smallpox
had never existed and occurred right now, that a vaccine would
be developed in such a short time frame and (when compared to the
first ones that were developed) would :

1. be at least as effective
2. have no worse negative side-effects

Isn't Murray Walker still going strong at 97 years young? Reports of his demise are somewhat premature.
 
Who is Alex Jones?
InfoWars' lead bullshitter

Given how he's moved into saying Covid is a hoax and posting videos of him walking around in public harassing anyone wearing a mask as he's yet another of the alt-right scumbags who have jumped on the anti-mask/anti-lockdown gravy train (see also: waffling gargoyle Nigel Farage) when there's a website showing overwhelming votes against the exact things they rant about it looks pretty goddamn convenient

Never heard of Info wars or Alex Jones but I think wearing a mask is a bit like using a colander to store water in. Based on the size of a virus and the size of holes in a mask, one would need a far more efficient filter to stop anything. As far as lockdowns are concerned I think anyone who chooses lockdown should be financed by the government and allowed to do it, but on the other hand, anyone who wants to carry on like normal ought to be allowed to as well. I think pubs, restaurants , football grounds should all be open but warnings supplied to people using them, a bit like smoking.

And do you think people should violently rebel against those asking people wear masks?

Jones does
