Here’s an unfortunate loss of talent …

A personal finance guru who rallied against taking the coronavirus vaccine has died from Covid, hours after being placed on a ventilator.

Alan Steel, 74, died on Wednesday after a month long battle with the virus.

Mr Steel regularly posted to Twitter about why people should not take the Covd vaccine, and why neither masks nor lockdowns were needed.

In a somber message posted last week he told followers: “You may wonder why I’ve been so quiet. For the best part of two weeks, I fought a losing battle with Covid.

“Been on oxygen in hospital since. Moving to intensive care today. This is one nasty illness. Fingers crossed I make it through.”

Mr Steel was renowned in his field, having founded Alan Steel Asset Management, which dealt with more than £1 billion in assets.

He rose to prominence after being first person to expose problems at Equitable Life, where the insurer’s policyholders lost billions of pounds in savings.

Last night Steve Forbes, managing director of Alan Steel Asset Management, said: “He was a one-off and a genius, of that there is certainly no doubt, but he was also a great visionary.”

Let's play this out like Gadianton.

Are you a healthcare worker? If so, do you find that all the media stories are an accurate portrayal of YOUR experience in hospitals, including ICUs and Emergency Departments?

If you are not a healthcare worker, then sure, believe the political ideology of your choice. Great.

Hi, C -

Great advice. I’ll call my local healthcare worker tomorrow, and will ask them if these people are all still dead.

And now, this -

At Breitbart News, the politics of vaccination have taken a strange turn. A longtime writer at the populist-right website who wants to save his Donald Trump–supporting readers from COVID-19 is speculating that the left has tricked them into rejecting safe and effective vaccines.

John Nolte is vaccinated himself and, in an article this week, correctly notes that the shots are “a lifesaver.” But every time he touts what he calls the “Trump vaccine,” his Twitter feed and comment threads on his articles get flooded with irrational arguments and unfounded assertions from anti-vaxxers, he writes. That’s no surprise. The populist-right milieu that Nolte inhabits includes lots of influential voices that spread misinformation about vaccines on Fox News, talk radio, and Facebook. For example, America’s most prominent populist commentator, the Fox host Tucker Carlson, has been amplifying Nicki Minaj’s thirdhand claim that a vaccine had swollen her cousin’s friend’s testicles.

In Nolte’s account, however, a conspiracy of evil leftist elites are to blame for vaccine skepticism on the right. “I sincerely believe the organized left is doing everything in its power to convince Trump supporters NOT to get the life-saving Trump vaccine,” Nolte writes. They are “putting unvaccinated Trump supporters in an impossible position,” he insists, “where they can either NOT get a life-saving vaccine or CAN feel like cucks caving to the ugliest, smuggest bullies in the world.”

From Mr. Nolte:

”In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead? If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing … I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, Screw you, I’m never getting vaccinated! …

“Have you ever thought that maybe the left has us right where they want us? Just stand back for a moment and think about this … Right now, a countless number of Trump supporters believe they are owning the left by refusing to take a life-saving vaccine—a vaccine, by the way, everyone on the left has taken. Oh, and so has Trump.”
