I know of two economists who backed Brexit as a sensible economic idea, but the vast majority thought it was utter madness
In June 2021, the FT reported, “UK exports of food & drink to the EU dropped by almost half in the first three months of 2021 due to the impact of post-Brexit trade barriers.”
“Lives, livelihoods and the UK economy at risk” warned the Road Haulage Association in August 2016
Now shoppers are being warned to brace for price hikes as they stare at empty shelves due to a shortage of 100,000 HGV drivers thanks to Brexit limiting the freedom of movement of EU drivers
What’s the point?
Not listening to experts can be costly
And if you disagree and sell advice, please email your clients to say they should no longer pay for YOUR expert advice
Or is that different?
So when a Professor,
a Consultant Pulmonologist – specialist respiratory physician
someone at the very top of their “game”
at a top hospital in the country
tells me in an emotional blog that he
“Wants me to get vaccinated”
“To stop living like there is no COVID and that “99% recovery” somehow means this thing is not real”
“To stop spreading anti-vaccine misinformation”
“To stop harassing us for medications that don’t work”
That, if I get really sick, he may not be able to save my life and have to break the devastating news to my spouse and children
(can you imagine having to do this?)
Do I REALLY
want to be so arrogant
to think I know better than this expert?
Because I’m a “fit, slim cyclist” (like him)
I don’t think so.
Especially when the “cost”
might not be empty supermarket shelves or lower profits
but my life
