The stupidity of the anti-vaxx nutcases

Smoking is still the leading cause of cancer by a significant margin, isn't it? Even after a general reduction in the rates of smoking. Puts things into perspective.
 
Because they are ignorant knobs who deserve to go back to the Dark Ages where their idiotic thinking might fit better with the prevailing wisdom.

I think spooky meant that the insurance doesn't think that 3/4g is safe, thinking that's why they won't insure against losses caused by emf
Presumably insurers actually exclude damage or losses from emf because they don't want to waste time arguing with people who want a new house because a phone mast has been put up next door

Unbelievable
 
You’re not getting insured by “Lloyd’s of London” anyway. You’re getting insured by a syndicate that is its own separate provider of capital, regulated within the marketplace of Lloyd’s of London, who will also act as a guarantee in the event that the syndicate is unable to pay.

The contract terms are set by the lead underwriter, and can easily be different across the Lloyd’s marketplace depending on who that lead underwriter is.

Exclusions on policies get put there not because there is existing damage — that would render the entire risk uninsurable — but where if a new problem manifested, the systemic damage it would cause would create massive losses against the entire portfolio at once. An insurer is there to flatten out random risks, not to protect an entire marketplace from the same loss at the same time. (That’s why pandemic itself is also excluded from business interruption cover, because an insurer can’t afford to pay for the entire country’s loss of business at once.)

So bizarre
 
A woman was thrown out of Chorley Hospital the other month for filming the corridors claiming that their emptiness was proof that covid was a lie, vaccines are fake, all of that.

It was a Sunday, so hospitals are always quieter. It was the outpatients section, so very little reason for anyone to be in the corridors anyway. And the trope of "patients parked in the corridors in their dozens" is much rarer than it was, certainly not in the way the sceptics/fruitloops wish/demand it to be. She was not for being persuaded otherwise and I believe has continued to demand answers to her many dubious and doubtful questions.

It's a shame, a real shame, to see people plunge into such stupid and damaging cul-de-sacs but I feel sometimes they need to run their course and then be helped back out of it.
