It still remains an opinion which he can not substantiate as a scientist, regardless of any offence caused and apology made.

I don't understand the criticism of speculating that the numbers are padded? There has been plenty of anecdotal evidence of GPs and Doctors being pressured to record all deaths as Covid-19 in all circumstances, I find it hard to believe the numbers being reported. It's easier to control the public narrative with higher/more shocking numbers of tests and deaths. Which is why tests are reported as often as 3 per person, without making that clear in the daily reporting of the figures. The deathcount without question includes people who were already seriously ill. That isn't to say their loss was inevitable, every death is sad for those impacted by it. But who is to say that Covid-19 was the element which caused the death as opposed to being one of many contributing factors?

His previous support of a private hospital system has made him a lot of enemies. There's an army of people on Twitter waiting for him to slip up and try and discredit anything he says.

There is a certain irony that he wasn't so positive when he deemed the Lockerbie bomber only had 3 months left to live.
An absolute shameless charlatan.

So you're saying he's a future Prime Minister?
I’m not sure why people pay him any attention. This isn’t his area of expertise and he has a history of making stuff up. Best ignored I would think.

Oh go on then, I'll re-quote myself: Sikora is a charlatan. I've still no idea why he's considered the oracle on CV19.

Of course he's a **** for supporting a private hospital system, because there's one across the pond that costs twice as much as what we've got and yet is about half as good (which, admittedly, is somewhat difficult to substantiate, so I'll just ask you to focus on life expectancy there and here).
I really don't follow what he says, but he seems to think he's the font of all knowledge about CV19 and, disappointingly, a whole host of people in search of a good news story can't help but snaffle some more of his elixir.

I’m with this. I enjoy the contributions to good news thread but have to skip past any post that includes one of his tweets. Especially since he’s started to be referred to as just ‘the prof’ like some superior fountain of knowledge.

Exactly, it might as well be Stephen Fry.
I'm not going to say "nah man he is the shit"... but to me it seems like it's really his fanboys believing that he is the "font of all knowledge". When reading his Twitter he just seems like... some dude. A random human being with random opinions and perspectives, just getting weird amounts of attention because he is easy to understand and quite calm in how he expresses himself.
In the heated debate on whether he is Satans assistant manager or Jesus 2.0, I'm leaning towards "he is a person."

I had no idea he was one of the Tufton Street lot. I know he's a staple of the "good news" thread but perhaps people should focus more on actual good news rather than feel-good narratives.

55 Tufton Street is an address in London which is home to several extremely secretive and seemingly dodgily-funded "think tanks" which have an extraordinarily out-sized influence over No.10, not least because they ran (and bankrolled) Vote Leave and gave prominence to the likes of Matthew Elliott and Dominic Cummings. Sikora it appears has connections. It's interesting that these groups have been among the most vociferous for easing lockdown quickly and Sikora has been among those trying to tell people that everything's grand.
Sikora is also at Buckingham University (or Unversity as it is known in the industry), an establishment that is geared towards relieving students of their cash as quickly as possible, writing articles for The Sun and having an unusual attitude towards the duty of care towards 18-21 year old young women.

Tufton Street.
Numbers 55.
The shadowy lot that includes Cummings real boss.

Follow what he says, he's not pretending to be anything, all he does is look at the trends. That's the mantra of the good news thread.
People just want to counter what he says with pointless whataboutery.
