You and ol' Grumps are convinced of her guilt. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. I don't think it's fruitful pursuing this conversation though. So thanks for your thoughts, but I'll leave it at that.

I am not taking any sides with the vaccine either! People take entrenched positions. So anti-vaxxers may exaggerate the dangers. But this needn't imply that none of their concerns have any merit. I simply do not have the knowledge to comment

Re Letby: B following A doesn't entail that A causes B!

My account is dedicated to mentions of Lucy Letby you mean? What are you smoking? It's only a very peripheral interest of mine. Read my posts, my blogs, then you'll see my interest is in philosophy & why I'm following you. Unfortunately, nothing you say suggests you have any competence in this area.

And what of the tiresome tactic of rebutting someone by comparing them to some other group who share a poorly supported belief?

If the only change were the absence of Letby that would indeed seem to be fairly strong suggestive evidence. However, it's my understanding that there were other changes.

I agree with him about animal rights too.

A person who declares they have no idea whether Letby is guilty or not because they lack the expertise is not a "Letby truther".
And I wish people would try to understand what the word "conspiracy" means. Incompetence doesn't require any conspiracy.

We just need to consider that most of those who insist she's guilty keep banging on about those notes. Which are, of course, wholly irrelevant. People generally just don't think things through.

I don't have much faith in the impartiality, objectivity and intelligence of others.

The incel thing is only been around for a couple of years hasn't it? The idea of an alpha male has been around for decades. And I have no idea what you mean that there's no such thing.

You can't weigh up both sides since neither side are impartial or objective. Esp a jury!

The prosecution have vested interests in securing a conviction. Listening to the defence as well is extremely useful of course, but even this is far from ideal, especially if either the prosecution or defence are incompetent. Ideally, you need a person or group of people who are impartial.

Probably alpha men and men with a dangerous glint in their eyes are more attractive to many women.

The truth is more likely to be obtained if 1 weighs up both sides and is objective and impartial as they can possibly be. Vested interests in a particular conclusion absolutely cannot be trusted.

😄 I hate romantic fiction.

Impartial & objective as it's possible to be? I somewhat doubt that!
No, I don't know these details. Remember, I'm not claiming she's innocent. It might be that some of the evidence is sufficiently compelling. Some "experts" claim it is, others disagree. I have no idea

Asked co-pilot for a summary of the video. Most of the alleged evidence is not really evidence at all in any meaningful way and hence is largely irrelevant. It's the medical evidence that is important.

Cold, cruel eyes etc.

So long as you don't find the notes or her demeanour as being evidential, then that's fine. I can't judge whether she's guilty or not as I simply lack the knowledge. I'm certainly not interested in watching a 1-sided 7-hour video. We need stuff to be impartial and objective

It might be that people were dissuaded from giving evidence supporting her for fear of what this might do for their careers or reputations. She seems atypical for a serial murderer & she certainly doesn't look like one.We simply lack the info/expertise to be anywhere near certain 1 way or the other

What is meant by a "Lucy Letby truther"? The supposition she's innocent? I do question what this compelling evidence of her guilt is. Certainly not the preposterous reasons that people bang on about such as those notes or her alleged lack of emotions and remorse.

There is nothing innate about English people that makes them unable to work. Clearly we need to vastly increase training, increase wages etc. I acknowledge, though, the fact we have an aging population means the necessity of some foreign labour.
