  1. @ Diseases evolving in Asia are different from those evolving in Europe, or Africa, or S America. That was not a problem until recently because there was less travel between continents. Only rich countries have the capacity to monitor diseases in all continents, but we can all die from them. WHO should be a non political talking shop for leading experts from each country to formulate and disperse knowledge and advice on new diseases and treatments.

  3. If the UK had ignored the green movement (like France) and continued to modernise its nuclear capacity we would be in a far better position to meet the challenges we face today. We used to run eleven Magnox reactors, just replacing these on a one for one basis with Sizewell B equivalent stations would provide over 40% of our electrical power requirements.

  4.  @moirascott2963  Agreed.

  5. We should have dealt with it in the 90's like the French did. We could have had 20 Sizewell B's for £72bn (at todays prices - they were £2bn a pop at the time). That's 24GW of power, almost our entire baseload requirement.

  6. Completely disagree, listen to what he said. The organisation needs to be reformed to become a true centre of excellence on infectious diseases. Pull together expertise from all around the world so that it CAN give reliable advice on potential epidemics and pandemics.

  12.  @Jon-es-i6o  Unfortunately they did not give us a referendum when they decided to make it the European Union. All countries had to agree and most put the question to their people. Major decided he knew best (or thought he would lose the vote) and refused to hold one.

  13.  @budgeman218  Maybe I was a little harsh on Boris to be fair. Cameron and Clegg (as usual) were most to blame as plans were already available to them and they did sod all. We (The UK) must stop the never ending court battles over planning permission and start building, Sizewell C is still not 100% free from objections. Not only does it delay construction but it wastes billions of pounds and puts off investors.

  15. Wanting to move to cleaner energy sources is common sense, it's destroying the world economy to do it that is the problem. He spoke a lot of sense on that issue.

  16. Waste of effort. Petitions can only call for a parliamentary debate and Labour have a huge majority.

  17. We operated the first commercial power reactor in the world.

  19.  @icarusfalls9315  Nope. Vaccines pre-empt your immune system so that it reacts more quickly when infected. You still catch it but your body destroys it before it has time to build up to dangerous levels. While it is in your system it still replicates, therefore you can still spread it. However, since your body is fighting it from day one, the number of replicated strands produced is very much lower and the likelihood of you infecting someone else is also much lower.

  22.  @cashkitty3472  I also have no working TV and rely on YT for most of my viewing. However, I still watch the odd breaking news story live, an occasional England match etc. I take it none of the "non payers" ever watch GB News live?

  30. Boris moved too slowly, hopefully Labour will speed things up a little. They don't seem to be anti-nuclear at least.

  33.  @JamesThompson-p4r  Because it could be brought about without destroying the world economy if control were removed from the hands of fanatics.

  34.  @edbaker515  Develop some common sense dude. Setting aside the whole "global warming" issue, there are many reasons to transition away from fossil fuel use where practicable. We saw in the early years of the industrial revolution what effect the widespread burning of coal had on pollution levels and general health. Fossil fuels are a finite commodity and have a wide range of uses, why waste them by burning them to generate energy when other alternatives exist? There are places in the world where renewables alone can provide energy self-sufficiency; wind & solar backed by hydro or geothermal. Why would a country not use them and continue to burn fossil fuels? Nuclear offers access to clean, abundant energy, even when using current inefficient reactor designs. The case for an eventual move away from fossil use is a strong one. The question is, "Is global warming real and do we have to break our economies to counter it?" I happen to believe that it is real but I do not believe that we (and the UK in particular) have to approach it like headless chickens. We do need to act though.

  38.  @PipBin  Memory is, by it's nature, a temporary medium. Books age and are often damaged and disposed of, that is just part of everyday life. The wilful damage or destruction of a religious text is an intentional act designed to give insult to a particular group in the most hurtful way. There is no equivalence.

  40. Possibly, but it will be years before thorium reactors make any meaningful contribution. Too much political and safety baggage to overcome.

  43.  @williammiller567  No, but I studied Biology to A-level and Chemistry to degree level and viruses and vaccines were included in the course material.
    1
  44.  @icarusfalls9315  Where did you read that? The vaccine trains the body's immune system to recognise certain proteins associated with the virus and develop antibodies to counter it. That is why you often feel ill when vaccinated, it is your body reacting to a perceived infection. When/if you become infected with the actual virus, your immune system detects those proteins and reproduces the same antibodies. The difference is that your body recognises it is under attack and begins to fight back more quickly, therefore the number of cells infected and consequently the number of replicated viruses is reduced. Less new virus equates to less chance of transmission. Not zero, but far less.

  45.  @genetranscends1662  The word you were searching for is drivel not dribble. It's not my fault if you choose to take a tinfoil hat approach to anything you do not understand.

  46. ​ @genetranscends1662  Keep digging. It's a sad reflection on today's world when people like you refuse to understand the workings of a vaccine; something understood by the scientific community over two hundred years ago. We really are living in a modern age of Nero.

  47.  @icarusfalls9315  Where did I say that a vaccine can stop you catching or transmitting a virus? It speeds up your body's response to an infection; thereby reducing the severity of the illness and the level of subsequent transmission. What happens if the virus mutates? Well the vaccines could well stop working and they will have to develop new ones. That is what happens with the flu and common cold. The same also applies to any natural or herd immunity gained from contracting and surviving a virus.

  48.  @genetranscends1662  I know, it's incredible that someone living in the 21st century could fail to understand how a vaccine works and prefer instead to believe some conspiracy theorist on the web. But don't despair, there is still hope for you.
