This week we spoke with Professor Norman Fenton of Queen Mary University, London, to discuss the use and misuse of statistics by governments during the last two years. We cover the tricks governments have pulled over the presentation of data of infections, the farce regarding testing and vaccine efficacy. It's a very interesting discussion and we encourage listeners to read the articles mentioned in the interview which are linked to below.
