dr. bahati tang honey is from the university of access is medical school. he questions the u. k. government's approach to containing the virus a so a lot of confusion and concerns the way it was suddenly announced on a sunday, a pre recorded message. and i personally feel that prime minister johnson has once again got it wrong. let me explain why. prime minister johnson continuously continuously continuously keeps on talking about one thing only, which is boosters, boosters and business. if you were to take the advice from any scientist, any scientist worth their salt will tell you that one way to keep the infection numbers down case numbers down is a multi layered approach. the multi layered approach with prime minister johnson just doesn't want to do is where your mask very properly, where a good quality mask work from home cancel parties, stop gatherings in pubs and restaurants. have your boosters have your seasonal influenza vaccine do? so it is multi multi multiple approach that is needed on the chron is, may be a little bit vaccine, evasive. however, what the boost is, do

i'll just, you know, washington doctor bar its pan kenya is a senior clinical lecture at university of access to medical school, joins us live from city of bath by skype. now, this study by imperial college london has been a lot of focus on this. it hasn't been peer reviewed, bought early findings appear to show no evidence that on the chrome is milder compared to other variants, particularly delta. how important is this question of the severity of the on the cross variant? it's important, of course, it's important because we already know the negative news, which is that it is much more infectious. and the 2nd read is that it bypasses the vaccines that recreate the antibodies that we created with the vaccines were vacant. so i hope and pray the report from imperial is not as true as i would like it as we want it. we don't want it to be as true because if it is, then we have a lot more things to worry about how and you think it'll take before that can be established right now. there's quite a bit of ambiguity when we look at how on the coin is playing out in different parts of the world. it's

the scale, our understanding of the universe just in the last 100 years, huge explosion of knowledge about that. and what is it taught us? it's taught us that we have access to less than 5 percent of the mass density of the universe. less than 5 percent to physical reality is accessible to investigation more than 95 percent of that it got matter dark energy. well, no idea what it is, we can see some of its effects, but we don't know what it is. and so this is a beautiful example of how the more we know the more we realize the last minute. but of course those who are religious around the world and you've had spectacular debates with it. maybe, maybe actual clergymen, i will say, you know, ever since the counselor nice or whatever, they always said the bible, the koran later in they just entered the, these are not the true the, the, they opened up questions and then there's a huge amount of ecumenical debate is it really that knew the 5 percent was is the 95 percent dog matcher? isn't that comparable to the divinity of christ and whether he is 3 people and so well, and the easiest thing in the world is to get mad in the swanson theological controversy here.
