What do yourfact checkers say about CBC , Global and Chorus ? Probably trust worthy and accurate .
You can be accurate but not trustworthy. The CBC is in that category. You can emphasize one aspect of a story and diminish another while remaining accurate but change the slant of the story considerably. All you have to do is compare headlines from various news media. "Nearly 1000 cases of COVID found today" sounds different and more omonous than "924 cases of COVID found today" or "less than 1000 cases of COVID found today". All could be factual but they have different emphasis.
The hypocrisy of Matt Cockblock
His lockdown rules kept couples apart. Now he’s been caught with his trousers down.
Spiked
I don’t much care that Matt Hancock – our ‘fucking useless’ health secretary, to quote Boris Johnson – has had an affair. Nor am I particularly bothered that he broke social-distancing guidelines when he engaged in what today’s bombshell Sun exclusive calls ‘regular clinches’ with his taxpayer-funded aide, Gina Coladangelo. Nor am I particularly surprised that he has trouble keeping two metres away from women – he seems to have a habit of getting a bit close.
What does grate, though, is the hypocrisy. The staggering hypocrisy. More than any other minister, Hancock is responsible for the laws and guidance that have kept us all apart over the past 15 months. Lockdown regulations have been made and unmade, without proper parliamentary scrutiny, at the strike of his pen. Every bit of guidance was pushed by him and his department.
That notorious snap of him kissing and fondling Coladangelo was reportedly dated 6 May – at the time, as the Spectator’s Kate Andrews notes, it was still illegal for couples living separately to go into each other’s homes, unless they were bubbled. Perhaps that’s why they opted for the office for their illicit clinches.
Matt Hancock was essentially the Minister for Human Touch during this pandemic. His rules made it so that people couldn’t comfort each other at funerals. And they made dating, casual sex and even just seeing a long-term partner you don’t happen to live with a potential police matter. In March last year, when asked what couples who live apart should do as lockdown came in, he said ‘make your choice and stick with it’ – that is, either move in together or put up with not seeing each other at all. Arise, Matt Cockblock, as we dubbed him on spiked at the time.
Once again, it’s one rule for them and another for us. Matt Hancock’s private life is none of our business.
But he made all of our private lives his business, the state’s business, things that had to be controlled and micromanaged, sometimes by force of law. The least he could have done was try to stick to it all himself.
That said, I don’t think he should be sacked for this. I think he should be sacked for presiding over the carnage in care homes, when Department of Health guidelines meant patients were sent out of hospitals and into care settings without testing them first, seeding outbreaks among the most vulnerable in society. I think he should be sacked for being among the most authoritarian ministers during this pandemic, which really is a crowded field – something we glimpsed in February when he announced a new 10-year prison sentence for lying on your travel form.
But if his socially undistanced ‘clinches’ are what finally does it for him, so be it.

Why most people who now die with Covid in England have been vaccinated
MailOnline headline on 13 June read: “Study shows 29% of the 42 people who have died after catching the new strain had BOTH vaccinations.” In Public Health England’s technical briefing on 25 June, that figure had risen to 43% (50 of 117), with the majority (60%) having received at least one dose.

Don’t think of this as a bad sign, it’s exactly what’s expected from an effective but imperfect jab
OH JEEPERS, IT'S THE GUARDIAN WITH PUBLISHED STATS!!!!
They say never to read people you see you on the internet and not to believe a thing they say: I see YOU on the internet.

You see the link to the study there in the post right?
From the OTHER link right there in my post:
With the Prime Minister on the verge of delaying 'Freedom Day' by up to four weeks, new analysis by Public Health England (PHE) has revealed that 29 per cent of Covid deaths from the B.1.617.2 strain had received two injections.
And, in a further blow, the PHE report suggests the Delta variant has a 64 per cent increased risk of household transmission compared to the Kent (Alpha) variant.
It is also believed to be 40 per cent more transmissible outdoors, according to the PHE figures.
The Delta strain is now the UK's most dominant, with more than 90 per cent of Covid cases in the UK now the Indian variant, according to PHE.
Amid rising case numbers, the new report has raised fears among some scientists that the UK could be swamped with a third Covid wave.
It comes as analysis by the Sunday Telegraph shows that, at the current rate, the UK could have 80,000 new cases a day by mid-July.

Oh Look! "NEW CASES!"
The fundamental issues underlying the testing question were beautifully articulated in a recent FiveThirtyEight article entitled: “Coronavirus Case Counts Are Meaningless* *Unless you know something about testing. And even then it gets complicated”. The article provides an excellent discussion of what can go wrong when using the number of reported cases as a proxy for the actual number of cases, and illustrates particular pitfalls using simulated data derived from different testing protocols.

That does describe the typical dead Airline line pilot well enough though!

- New report by Public Health England reveals vaccine efficiency against variant
- Out of 42 people who died of Delta variant, 29 per cent had received two jabs
- It comes as Dominic Raab warned 'Freedom Day' could be delayed tomorrow

Are the Coronavirus Case Counts Useful? - IDSS
The COVID-19 pandemic has inspired many of us to dig into the publicly available pandemic data; yet every time a new analysis is presented, someone inevitably asks: “But what about testing?” How can we extract any useful information out of the number of reported cases when the testing protocol...

I'm sure you can guess about the general health of all those dead vaccinated airline pilots though, being so smart and everything!
Once again, Fart checkers farted Forkedly!!! No wonder Sleepy luvs them so much!
Do Anthony Fauci’s newly released emails prove that he knew all along that masks are ineffective and don’t work? Fact-checkers now claim Fauci and the medical community simply gained knowledge about masks that they didn’t before. Once again, the fact-checkers are lying to you- because what Fauci was secretly saying in his emails about masks not working, is actually based on science… I’ll show you the data.

lol the SAME 'OL discredited fact checkers, AGAIN eh?
Oh well, we all know what Einstein is supposed to have said about repetition. ( though, he never actually really said that, did he? Even though some people keep repeating that he did.)
