Something big happened this week that may have passed you by

Maybe it was meant to

I& #39;ve been reporting on the numerous #COVID19 scandals for last 5 months & but this one is urgent

On Friday, the govt& #39;s game-changing 10-min test received the green light. https://google.co.uk/amp/s/www.med-technews.com/api/amp/news/covid-19-rapid-antibody-test-to-be-rolled-out-in-august/">https://google.co.uk/amp/s/www...

The finger-prick anti-body tests will be rolled out this month & the govt plans to "ship millions of them in the coming months"

If you missed it, it& #39;s not your fault

The story only appeared in the Clinical Services Journal, Medlink & PharmaField (et al).

Luckily I subscribe!

3*) Back in April, it was reported that 50 million British-developed anti-body test kits had been ordered by the govt.

The tests had been developed by the Rapid Test Consortium (RTC)

One might expect the approval of this test would be big news.

But no! https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1283106765157142528">https://twitter.com/StefSiman...

4*) Rather than being heralded as a "world-beating triumph of British scientific phwoarrrr!" by the PM & plastered across the headlines, the story went almost unnoticed.

But why?

Could it be that the govt are holding back this announcement, & if so for what possible purpose?
