Call this a public service announcement: not one single piece of actual evidence has been presented on those DHSC claims. Not one. Until that happens, it& #39;s impossible to assess them. Please do remember that. The fact that we can imagine something to be true does not make it true.

That is not a comment on the validity of the claims. My point is that the basic evidence principle must apply - if we stop doing that the damage could be sever. So frankly: I am gobsmacked by the 1000s of RTs of, at this point, entirely unsubstantiated claims.

All may prove to be true: that possibility is of course there. And yes: we& #39;ve seen actions in the past that raise questions now, and the DHSC response flurry is odd to say the least. I get all that. But the bottom line remains: none of those things are actual evidence.

And just in case the evidence is presented, let me add this right away as I see people being attacked for points similar to mine: no, I wouldn& #39;t end up feeling bad about this thread were that to be the case. Asking for evidence is the right thing to do here. /end
