Covid-19 - Treatments & Vaccines

The Times: Coronavirus: Government’s Covid vaccine data ‘providing material for conspiracy theorists’

quoted in the article is an actual person named Colin Angus:

lol at Angus falling for that. Doctors regularly have conversations with their patients with masks on. Even pre-pandemic.

Angus's gotcha posts in gif form.
