Should have been clearer Kojak, my reference 'no such view were expressed ' was to the Bev Turner point.
I'm aware of the Steyn comments and note he no longer works on the channel, and Olivers point is based on the simple science fact that a) all drugs carry side effects and risk b) the risk/reward balance for young people is very very finely balanced , which is why many nations have a changed their vax strategy to target those where the ballance is more in favour of using vaccine is stronger; this shouldn't be controversial - it's textbook medical degree stuff.
The GBNews problem is they haven't found an opinion format that works outside of Farage, maybe that's twitter extremism causing that - no boring centrist will take a complicated position as they'll get hung for 'siding' one way or the other becouse they don't follow the orthodoxy for one side. Leaving us with just hard right and hard left voices.
Look at The Talk on TalkTV - it's so heavily complianced and has panellists scared to go hard one way or the other, mixed with usual channel talking heads. It just ends up boring TV
