Professor Karol Sikora
For anyone who wants some positive, expert advice on current situation to follow I've been recommended to follow this guy.
Anyone on here follow him? He puts to bed a lot of the myths and media drama.
Might be worth following for anyone sick of reading the negativity.

Is this in relation to the ongoing Hendrick 'will he/won't he' saga?

Re: Professor Karol Sikora
I follow him & as an expert he is quite down the league something like non league football, he mainly comments on the stats & does not agree with sage or the ONS figs.

Re: Professor Karol Sikora
His expertise is oncology (though given his prognosis on al-Megrahi etc) though he’s become the go to critic of the government’s Covid response
He’s a chancellor at a private Uni and isn’t a big fan of the NHS

I see some of his tweets through others liking him, but I don't follow.
Just seems to look for the best news in number of deaths falling etc..

Re: Professor Karol Sikora
I’ve noticed this guy popping up a bit, I also saw this posted on Facebook about him. Not sure how much is true as it’s clearly one sided -
A few of the things you might need to know about him :
He hates the NHS. Really, really hates it. Calls it 'the last bastion of communism'.
He used to work for the World Health Organisation. He hates the WHO. He claimed he resigned, but smarter and more reliable sources say he was fired over some of his more, er, radical ideas, after a dispute with the United Nations (He hates them, too. Can you see a pattern emerging here?)
He is an Oncology Advisor. Not to Health Services or NHS Trusts, who do not accept his more extreme thinking, but to pharmaceutical companies Cyclacel and AstraZeneca, who'll take anyone they can get.
He appeared in American adverts for the Republican Party, attacking President Obama's Health Plan - with data that was later proven to be false. He is part of the US Health Lobby that aims to buy as many parts of the NHS as it can.
He has claimed for 22 years to be Professor of Oncology at Imperial College. He even introduced himself to a Commons Health Select Committee with that title. He is not - and never was. This led Imperial to seek legal advice to stop Sikora from making such claims.
"I can confirm that Karol Sikora is not on the staff at Imperial and does not hold the title of honorary professor of oncology. This individual has been warned before by the college for making claims that he is employed by us, or associated with us. His views are very certainly not the views of the college."
- Prof Sir Roy Anderson, Imperial College London,
He loves his grand titles :
Dean of the School of Medicine at Buckingham - nothing to do with the established medical training system. it a privately funded school of medicine and alternative therapies.
Foundation Fellow of The Foundation for Integrated Health - a lobby group.
Chair of the Faculty of Integrated Medicine, which is unaffiliated with any university and is not a 'faculty' - it is another grandly-titled lobby group.
Member of the College of Medicine - another lobby group criticised extensively in the British Medical Journal for its promotion of unproven alternative medicines.
He was one of three doctors that enabled Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi to be released, after obtaining a diagnosis of imminent terminal cancer. The services were paid for by the Libyan Government. Sikora gave him three months to live ... whereupon al-Megrahi recovered in miraculous fashion, living on for several years.
He called for cancer drugs to be rationed for older patients, not in such a way as to open a discussion about the possibility of it, but as budgetary factor.
Along the way in his career, Sikora gave a lethal injection to a 14 year old patient, and defended several fellow medical professionals who were charged with items ranging from incompetence to professional misconduct to murder - who were either found guilty (Dr Jane Barton) , or in one case, exonerated but confessed later to being guilty (Dr Howard Martin). Several deaths were involved, at least 15.

I have seen some of his posts through people who I follow who follow him. After reading a few, I had him down as a bit of a crank. The above seems to reinforce my early assessment.

But it links him to pharmaceutical companies and then further down says he called for cancer drugs to be rationed for elderly patients.
It sort of contradicts itself. It's not something you would do costing millions to your employer.

To be honest I noticed various people retweeting him on a regular basis, he did seem quite optimistic in all the gloom and stood out.
That’s the only reason I noticed the post on Facebook about him.

His numbers always seem correct. He's a fairly upbeat too, which is a novelty given the shite they post on bbc, sky news etc. I dont know about his past, or why the lefties on twitter hate him so much. I'm assuming it's because he has blasphemed the holy church of the NHS, but I like his take on the pandemic

Surely the bit about helping the Lockerbie bomber can’t be true can it?

Re: Professor Karol Sikora
I’ve met him with work when I had a meeting down in London, when he was the UK “cancer tsar” (he may just have been on the expert committee, but it was Whitehall where I met him, a long time ago).cricketfieldclarets wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 11:05 amIm not sure, he was recommended by someone but I must admit I dont know personally whether he is or isnt worth following.

He’s a big beast, the folks above who suggest he isn’t one of the top minds on this are a bit misinformed I’d suggest.
By his own admission he is a cancer and immunology expert not a virology expert, but they are related in many ways and someone with a broader perspective is probably what we need right now. Sometimes these scientists seem too detached from wider reality, focusing entirely on their one sliver of specialism (e.g. ignoring mental health impact of the measures they suggest).
