    The problem is that suboptimal concentrations of the drug could also supercharge the creation of viral variants, introducing a wealth of mutations that aren’t quite enough to stop replication but are enough to drastically change how SARS-CoV-2 operates, either its transmissibility, stability or virulence. While we consider the monetary costs of the drug, we cannot overlook the evolutionary costs of introducing such a powerful mutagen into our Covid-19 environment. The FDA should ensure the safety of the drug before approval, and insist on a full accounting of all data on the drug’s potential to supercharge viral variants.

     

    The possibility of a new drug to ward off the most serious symptoms of Covid-19 is welcome news indeed, but we still must question whether the financial cost and the risk of new variants is a price we’re willing to pay.

    But T7 did not wither away as they had predicted. After evolving for 200 generations in the presence of the drug, the viruses ended up replicating 90 percent faster than their ancestors.

    My concerns are that this drug may create worst airborne viruses?

    Yes, right, meanwhile... Are you quoting some quacks or home remedies websites (often by quacks), or are you actually a specialist in the matter? If not, please read up on Ivermectin here: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19

    Treating horses or heart worms, right?

    As in the USA, they appear to be ignoring the science.

    I suppose it could be construed as a mental impairment, being unable to suffer fools gladly.

    I've had BCG treatment for bladder cancer. 14 years ago. Without it, I would probably be dead. Would it make you happier if I had observed your principles?

    Perhaps the BCG vaccine may be effective against Covid-19 as well? Trials are underway.

  5. Also another thing regarding my bank statement required for the application. My account is paperless so I printed off 6 months worth and hoped to have them confirmed with a stamp, signed and a letter on headed paper confirming they were copies of the originals. My   
    Bank refused to stamp them, I told them there was no problem the last time I applied for flr visa but said their policy has changed to prevent fraud. They said I should send them to head office to have them confirmed, which takes 7-10 working days, what should I do?
    Thanks in advance

    How does not stamping verifiable statements prevent fraud?

     Members may find the Home Office guidance to staff Indefinite leave to remain: calculating continuous period in UK interesting.

     

    However, one important, nay vital, point to note is that this does not apply to those on the five year family route; e.g. spouses of British nationals and their dependent children. See page 4 "Categories covered by this guidance."

    True.

  7. In 1984, the fee for the initial certificate of entitlement was reasonably set at £10.

    In 1991, it was £15.

    In 1996, it was £20.

    Then, transfers to new passports were also free!

    Today, the fee is disproportionate, compared with the fee for a British passport.

    Moreover, currently, you can't have both a certificate of entitlement and a British passport simultaneously.

  8. An Immigration Officer cannot deny entry to a British citizen because a British citizen has the right of abode.

    See also British/EEA Passengers without a valid Passport.

    If the visa holder had made no claims to being British, then the Immigration officer may not even realize that the holder is British. Then they will consider entry under the Immigration rules, as it applies to people without the right of abode.

    If an ILR/ILE holder satisfies the Returning residents (18-19) provisions, then there shouldn't be a problem with entry.

    However, the appropriate endorsement in a non-British passport to a British citizen without a British passport is the Certificate of Entitlement to the Right of Abode.
