Spot the difference

These are 2 entries from specialist publication, Clinical Services Journal both dated 5th March, the day after the Skripals were found on 4th March on a park bench, in Salisbury apparently poisoned.The entry was altered yesterday (26/27th), but in neither was any mention of the nerve agent, Novichok,  made despite two specialist doctors trained in the chemical weapons facility. Porton Down on the spot. Had the Skripals been in contact with the minutest amounts of Novichok, they would almost certainly have been dead on arrival.
The Skripal saga has disappeared from the mainstream media, just as the Skripals have vanished from public view, with no news of their whereabouts or health published for weeks. The whole saga and Government account is riddled with inconsistencies, half truths and changes of story: the most glaring of which is that we are told that Novichok was smeared on the door handle of Sergei Skripal's house, but discovered only 2 weeks after the incident, after numerous other methods had been canvassed. Quite a few people would have touched that doorhandle but with no ill effect. The OPCW (experts called in on the matter) said the Novichok given to them to test was 'of the purest
quality'. This cannot be the same substance in which the Skripals came into contact, as it would have seriously degraded in the intervening fortnight.
But we now have an objective account of the incidernt thanks to the first version in the CSJ, subsequently changed when it reached a wider audience. We also know that no-one was poisoned by a nerve agent in Salisbury thanks to a letter in the Times by Dr Stephen Davies, consultant in emergency medicine at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust ( extra).

One waits in vain for a critical analysis of these events from what is now called the'mainstream media'.
