An underground river of magma and thousands of tremors have been observed across the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. We speak to the scientists monitoring the Fagradalsfjall volcano who explain how this might be ushering in a new era of huge volcanic activity in the country. Sir Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England and Sir Patrick Vallance, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK government are due to appear at the Covid-19 Inquiry next week. It's the next stage of the public inquiry that began proceedings in July last year. Now it's focussing on the key questions surrounding how science and the scientific community informed government strategy before, during and after the pandemic. BBC Health Reporter Jim Reed has been attending the inquiry and explains what we know from the evidence that's been given so far – and what to expect next week. David Quammen discusses his book ‘Breathless: The Scientific Race to Defeat a Deadly Virus'. It's a thriller-style narrative revealing how scientists responded to the coronavirus pandemic. It's our final shortlisted book for the Royal Society Science Book Prize. The winner will be announced next week.

In the past couple of days, the Covid Inquiry has seen the two most powerful scientists in the country during the height of the pandemic - Professor Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance - give evidence. What they've said has intensified the spotlight on Rishi Sunak - the architect of Eat Out to Help Out - of which testimony has revealed scientists weren't aware before the scheme was rolled out. Is this intensifying the pressure on the PM?And, ahead of the budget - tax cuts. But what kind? Are they politically motivated?

Welcome to the Cow Daily podcast presented by Mike Cow part of the Milk the Cow Podcast network. In todays show, we discuss: Having to keep working whilst genocide is live streamed, the moral conundrum for British fascists celebrating the victory of Javier Mileau in Argentina then having to wrap thier heads round him saying the Falklands soverign to Argentina and non negitiable which is war talk. Israel's 'proof' of Hamas bases under hospitals. Rishi Sunak not consulting scientists on Eat out to help out according to Sir Patrick Vallance which led to deaths which would not have happened, this has also conditioned people now to accept societybeing opened up with no community protections like HEPA filtration.   If you would like to support our work by becoming a Patron via: www.patreon.com/cowdaily Make a one off contribution to our work: https://tinyurl.com/y5ctx4ja You can tune into the Cow Daily livestream everyday via Youtube by subscribing here

In today's session at the Covid Inquiry, more of chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance's diary was revealed. He described Boris Johnson as ‘weak and indecisive' and being ‘clearly bamboozled' by Covid science. Adam and Chris talk to health correspondent, Jim Reed, to understand what we can learn from the evidence. And staff at OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, demanded the return of their former boss, Sam Altman, after he was unexpectedly fired.

Sir Patrick Vallance said he saw the scheme would lead to increased Covid transmission

The UK's former chief scientific advisor Sir Patrick Vallance has told the Covid Inquiry how the then Prime Minister Boris Johnson struggled to fully understand scientific data during the pandemic. We speak to one of the scientists that sat on the government's advisory committee. Also on the programme - with reports tonight that a deal to free some of the hostages held by Hamas could be imminent - we hear from one of their relatives. And can Argentina's new president Javier Milei keep his promise to turn around the economy?

New medicines with sales in the billions of dollars each year are what every pharmaceutical company dreams of, but how do you create one and can they really justify their often high price tags? Evan Davis and guests discuss the changing origins of so-called 'blockbusters' and their importance to the global drug industry, including recent examples like the obesity and diabetes treatments Wegovy and Ozempic, which have made Novo Nordisk one of the richest companies in Europe. Plus, as outright cures for some diseases begin to emerge, how can the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare systems agree on what is a reasonable price to pay for them? Evan is joined by: Sir Patrick Vallance, former president of research and development at GSK, chief scientific advisor to the UK government, now chair of the Natural History Museum; Ruth McKernan, venture partner at SV Health Investors; David Brown, chairman and co-founder of Healx and co-creator of Viagra; Natasha Loder, health editor, The Economist.

What can our approach to tackling the Covid pandemic teach us about how we should address the climate crisis? In this first episode, we ask how innovation can be catalysed in the face of an urgent, global problem. It normally takes over a decade to create a vaccine, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, multiple vaccines were available in a matter of months. How did this remarkable achievement happen? In this episode, Nina and Simon are joined by Sir Patrick Vallance, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government, to discuss the seven lessons we should learn from the Covid crisis about how to create the right conditions for urgent innovation to prevent dangerous climate change.

The ongoing inquiry into the UK's response to the Covid-19 pandemic is still underway, and damning allegations have surfaced. Records kept by former chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance state that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson believed Covid was 'nature's way of dealing with old people'. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Johnson's pandemic response has been wildly criticised, as he kept flip-flopping as the crisis unfolded.

News of artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. We seem to be on the cusp of a revolution in how the latest AI models will change our lives – and health and care could be at the centre of those changes. AI will transform medicine, AI will allow doctorless screening and personalised prevention, AI will boost productivity, AI will make thousands of jobs redundant – so go all the claims.   But is this hype or real hope? How will AI transform health and care services and the experiences of staff and patients? What's been the progress so far? And how best to move forward safely? And with growing demand, staff shortages and a public spending squeeze, could AI be a key answer to sustaining the NHS itself? To discuss, our chief executive Dr Jennifer Dixon is joined by: Professor Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of Medicine at the University of Oxford and an adviser to the government on life sciences strategy, and to Sir Patrick Vallance's current review of how to regulate emerging technologies.  Dr Axel Heitmueller, Managing Director of Imperial College Health Partners.

In this episode we friends (Sylvia, Gail, Mairi and I) speak to Mike Yeadon - a great man. You will all know Mike's history, we're sure, but Mike was formerly Lead Scientist at Pfizer and then came out very early and very strong against the blatant and extremely consequential covid lies of Sir Patrick Vallance and the British Government to make the British people compliant with the horrendously damaging lockdowns. His concerns, always following the evidence, have only grown and become more focussed on the dangers of the covid vaccines. He sees great evil perpetrated and is continually warning where all this may lead. You can follow him on Telegram at https://t.me/DrMikeYeadon but he's not hard to find if you look for him. Lots of love ❤

“The whole area is going to be crucial for everything from monitoring waste, you can think about its use in monitoring biodiversity, such a key area for the future. You can think about the impact of the environment and on the changes in species across the world over time. This is going to be a ubiquitous area of societal discussion.” In this week's episode of The G Word, our CEO Chris Wigley is joined by Sir Patrick Vallance, the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser and the Head of Government Science and Engineering. They discuss Sir Patrick Vallance's role and work in the government, the areas that genomics is starting to touch on beyond healthcare and the use of genomic data. They also discuss the role of legislation and societal dialogue, they touched on the impact of the pandemic and how genomic sequencing is crucial to understand the spread of COVID-19. Sir Patrick Vallance also raised the importance of monitoring biodiversity and the impact on the environment.

A focus on people is central to the future of mobility. Behavioural and social science can help us better design our built environment and its transport system around users, and allow technology to improve the lives of individuals and society. These are the words of Sir Patrick Vallance, the Government's Chief Scientific Advisor and now familiar with the public due to his role in supporting the UK Government to address the Covid-19 pandemic. He wrote this in 2018 for the Government Office for Science report: A time of unprecedented change in the transport system.We do indeed live in a time of unprecedented change, perhaps more so than ever, so it is a good time to explore the behaviour change for net zero mobility.

James and Toby spend more time on the road than Hope and Crosby but unfortunately it’s not together. This week we’re all about James’s return to grey old England after his glorious week in Croatia and Toby’s trip to Scotland (in which he fails, spectacularly, to shoot a deer). After the personal preliminaries we touch on the redaction of the emails from Sir Patrick Vallance (the UK’s version of Anthony Fauci) about the Wuhan lab leak, and a discussion of who is more like Jimmy Saville – Toby or James (Hint: Neither one.) In Culture Corner it’s book week with Purgatory’s Shore by Taylor Anderson and The Young Lions by Irwin Shaw (movie trailer here). Next week: A Bond special.

Tribe Tech was at the G7 in Cornwall this month and Robert and Feyaza speak to South African journalist Zobuswe Ngobese about the relevance of his country being invited to the summit as a special guest.  We also speak to regional director of Deepbridge Capital - Simon Tutton - about Sir Patrick Vallance's new Science and Technology Committee - and what the point of it is. 

Disaster APPEARED to strike last week, when Michael O'Bernicia announced that the Private Criminal Prosecutions he is seeking to bring against Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty, Sir Patrick Vallance and Neil Ferguson for Pandemic Fraud, had been rejected by the presiding judge on the basis that the extensive prima facie evidence presented had amounted to nothing more than “hearsay.”Despite this, however, Michael says that he is far from dejected, and that this was a contingency that he and his team had fully planned for and knew how to move ahead from. In this episode he explains why. We also address the recent resignation of Matt Hancock and how this may have connections to the case, and debunk the widely-circulated memo that purports to be from Neil Ferguson detailing permanent lockdowns in the UK.Updates on the PCP case can be followed at www.thebernician.net

The UK's latest surge in coronavirus infections gathered pace Thursday with new confirmed cases rising above 10,000 for the first time in nearly four months as a result of the spread of the more contagious Delta variant.Government figures showed another 11,007 cases were reported. That's the highest daily number since February 19, when 12,027 cases were recorded, and cements talk that the country with Europe's highest virus-related death toll is in the midst of a third wave of the pandemic.The government's chief medical adviser, Professor Chris Whitty, said the height of the current surge is "still uncertain" but that it "will definitely translate into further hospital admissions and, unfortunately, it will undoubtedly translate into further deaths".Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty (left), Prime Minister Boris Johnson and chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.( Photo / Jonathan Buckmaster, AP)Daily cases have risen fairly sharply over the past few weeks after fluctuating around the 2000 mark earlier. The Delta variant, which was first identified in India and is considered by government scientists to be between 40 per cent to 80 per cent more transmissible than the previous dominant strain, accounts for around 95 per cent of all new cases in the UK.Most of the new confirmed cases are among younger age groups which have not yet gotten Covid-19 vaccines. The UK's widely praised rollout of vaccines is being extended to all adults over the age of 18 starting Friday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock confirmed.The spread of the variant upended government plans to lift all remaining restrictions on social contact in England starting next week. On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson delayed the move until July 19, saying now was the "time to ease off the accelerator" so more people could get vaccinated and prevent thousands more deaths.Johnson laid out his hope that by July 19, two-thirds of the UK's adult population will have been offered two vaccine shots, including everyone over 50.Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has delayed the next planned relaxation of coronavirus restrictions. (Photo / AP)The government's figures Thursday showed that another 19 people died after testing positive for the virus, the highest daily death toll reported since May 11. It takes the UK's total deaths in the pandemic to 127,945, the most in Europe.In addition to warning about further deaths in the near-term, Whitty said the country should brace itself for further waves of the virus to come."In terms of the medium-term, my expectation is that we will get a further winter surge, late autumn/winter surge, and that is because we know that winter and autumn favour respiratory viruses, and therefore it'd be very surprising if this particular highly transmissible respiratory virus was not also favoured," he told health professionals.Many blame the Conservative government for the spike in infections, saying it acted too slowly to impose the strictest quarantine requirements on everyone arriving from India, which has endured a catastrophic resurgence of the virus.A man wears a mask reading 'end the lockdown' outside Westminster, to protest against the delay of planned relaxation of lockdown measures. (Photo / Alberto Pezzali, AP)The hope is that the rollout of vaccines will turn the latest spike around and allow the next easing in the lockdown to take place. As of Thursday, around 63 per cent of the British population had received at least one dose of vaccine, while around 46 per cent has received two.An analysis on Monday from Public Health England showed that two doses of the main vaccines the UK is using are highly effective against hospital admission from the delta variant — 96 per cent in the case of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and 92 per cent for the AstraZeneca jab. - Pan Pylas of AP

Michael O'Bernicia, aka The Bernician, guests for a fourth time to talk about the latest in the Private Criminal Prosecutions he has launched against Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty, Sir Patrick Vallance and Neil Ferguson for Pandemic Fraud and, by default, Genocide.The case has been subject to an act of sabotage by somebody at Westminster Court, he reveals, who tried to hide the evidence files from the presiding judge. Fortunately, the judge in question appears to have some integrity, having raised the alarm about this treasonous act.This, Michael maintains, is as good an indicator as any that the control system will stop at nothing to try and prevent this case from being pushed through, as it knows it has validity. The conviction of these four ringleaders could bring the entire worldwide Covid Scamdemic crashing to the ground.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6056ANCHE SUL CORONAVIRUS, INGHILTERRA CONTROCORRENTE (IN STILE BREXIT) di PAOLO GULISANOSul fronte della battaglia al Coronavirus, la novità è venuta da Londra, e ha già creato molte reazioni polemiche. Da giorni ci chiedevamo come mai il Governo di Sua Maestà non prendesse alcuno dei provvedimenti restrittivi che si stanno imponendo in tutta Europa, con l'Italia come capofila del "modello cinese" fatto di chiusure di tutto ciò che era possibile chiudere. In tutta la Gran Bretagna le scuole e le università sono aperte e la vita procede secondo le normali abitudini. Il campionato di calcio è proseguito con stradi stracolmi, come si è visto anche questa settimana a Liverpool e Glasgow, e solo dal prossimo weekend le porte degli stadi resteranno chiusi. Qualcuno ha parlato di follia, o di incoscienza, ma venerdì Boris Johnson, che ha riconosciuto che il Paese si trova di fronte ad una seria emergenza sanitaria, ha rivelato che il suo Governo ha una strategia totalmente differente per affrontare la sfida dell'epidemia.Johnson si è avvalso della consulenza di due esperti, che ha chiamato a fargli da consulenti, due importanti figure della sanità britannica: Sir Patrick Vallance e il professor Chris Whitty. Il primo ha dal 2018 l'incarico di Chief Scientific Adviser del Governo, ossia capo consulente scientifico. È stato per anni alla guida del settore ricerca della più grande azienda farmaceutica britannica, la GlaxoSmithKline. Il secondo è il Professor Chris Whitty, che è Chief Medical Officer per il Governo inglese, epidemiologo ed esperto di sanità pubblica.Questi due scienziati sono dunque le menti della strategia britannica, una strategia che sta già facendo molto discutere. Quali sono i suoi punti? Vallance e Whitty si sono detti ben consapevoli che molti paesi stanno adottando misure severe per reprimere la diffusione del coronavirus, tra cui la chiusura delle scuole, la fine delle riunioni di massa e le severe restrizioni ai viaggi, mentre il Regno Unito ha adottato misure di controllo relativamente modeste. Tuttavia il sistema di restrizioni per i professori britannici non è il solo modello possibile, e anzi potrebbe rivelarsi un boomerang.UNICHE MISURE: LAVARSI SPESSO LE MANI E STARE A CASA SE MALATILe simulazioni al computer fatte dagli esperti indicano che il Regno Unito è nelle prime fasi della sua epidemia, che dovrebbe aumentare rapidamente tra quattro settimane e raggiungere il picco tra 10 e 14 settimane. Sir Patrick e il Professor Whitty hanno pronunciato la sentenza che è troppo presto per imporre severe restrizioni in questa fase. Tali restrizioni potrebbero durare diversi mesi e rischiare la "fatica dell'isolamento", con le persone che escono di casa proprio mentre l'epidemia è al culmine. Gli anziani sono particolarmente a rischio di sviluppare sintomi gravi. Ma molti di loro sono già isolati. Tagliarli fuori dalle loro comunità in questa fase, quando i rischi sono ancora relativamente bassi, creerebbe loro difficoltà inutili.I due super esperti hanno anche sconsigliato la sospensione delle riunioni di massa. Ancora una volta, i loro modelli informatici indicano che questo sarebbe meno efficace e più dirompente rispetto alle misure che hanno raccomandato: lavarsi le mani e chiedere alle persone di autoisolarsi se mostrano sintomi della malattia. Queste misure, se correttamente implementate, potrebbero ridurre il picco dei casi del 20%, afferma Sir Patrick. "Le persone hanno molte più probabilità di catturare il virus da un membro della famiglia o da un amico da qualche parte in un piccolo spazio piuttosto che in un grande spazio, come uno stadio sportivo", ha detto. E lo stesso vale per le chiusure scolastiche. La chiusura delle scuole per Vallance e Whitty è efficace per controllare gravi epidemie di influenza, ma Covid-19 sembra influenzare meno i bambini. Questo sembra confermato dall'evidenza italiana, dove la chiusura delle scuole - come si è rilevato epidemiologicamente - ha portato ad una drastica diminuzione dei casi di influenza stagionale. Per gli inglesi però c'è un altro rischio: i bambini a casa da scuola potrebbero trasmettere il Covid 19 - cui sembrano decisamente più resistenti - ai loro genitori e nonni. La strategia britannica pertanto è di ritardare l'insorgenza del picco della malattia fino ai mesi estivi, diluendo - per così dire - il numero dei casi. Gli sforzi per eliminarlo troppo rapidamente rischiano di far tornare l'epidemia, forse durante l'inverno prossimo, una volta revocate le misure estreme.A BREVE NESSUN VACCINOSir Vallance ha spiegato che occorre cercare di "spalmare" il decorso dell'epidemia, non cercare di eliminarla completamente in breve tempo. "Ciò che non vogliamo è che tutti se lo prendano in breve tempo intasando i servizi sanitari" ha detto, ma al tempo stesso, poiché la grande maggioranza delle persone presenta la malattia in forma non grave, e guarisce, "ritardando le misure restrittive costruiamo una sorta di immunità di gregge in modo che più persone siano immuni al virus e si riducano i contagi mentre proteggiamo le persone più vulnerabili". Se sopprimi qualcosa in modo molto, molto radicale, quando allenti le misure c'è un effetto di rimbalzo e questo rimbalzo arriva al momento sbagliato, ha insistito Vallance.L'immunità di gregge è un concetto che è diventato piuttosto noto a seguito dei dibattiti sulle vaccinazioni: se una percentuale sufficientemente alta di una popolazione ha sviluppato delle difese immunitarie, ad opera di una vaccinazione o grazie all'immunità naturale acquisita per aver fatto una malattia, la circolazione del virus è molto minore e ciò consente a questa parte di popolazione immunizzata di proteggere anche quella che non lo è. La percentuale di immunizzati che si dovrebbe raggiungere per avere una efficace immunità di gregge è del 60%È importante sottolineare che se uno scienziato come Sir Vallance, che è stato per anni capo del settore ricerca e sviluppo di un gigante delle vaccinazioni come GlaxoSmithKline, punta sull'immunizzazione naturale, e non su un ipotetico vaccino, ciò significa che molte delle speculazioni che si stanno facendo su eventuali vaccini da avere a disposizione a breve non hanno consistenza. Vallance ha avvertito che il Covid-19 è destinato a diventare molto probabilmente un virus annuale, un'infezione stagionale annuale. Bloccarlo sarà impossibile, almeno per un certo periodo di tempo, e quindi dovremo imparare a convivere con esso, e per questo non ha senso vivere in uno stato di continua emergenza, e non ha senso chiudere le attività economiche, produttive, sociali, educative.Ancora una volta l'Inghilterra sfodera il suo proverbiale "Keep calm and go on". Una linea di realismo, illustrata dal premier Johnson che non ha voluto illudere i britannici: "Molte famiglie perderanno i loro cari" ha dichiarato. Una scelta di chiarezza che ha ricordato Winston Churchill che prometteva "sangue, sudore e lacrime" per ottenere la vittoria. La guerra contro l'epidemia non sarà breve. Niente retorica del "torneremo presto ad abbracciarci", dunque, ma un guardare in faccia la realtà di oggi anche in una prospettiva futura.
