A retired dentist and Lockdown Sceptics contributor has made a list of those questions BBC correspondents and editors should be asking about the Government's management of the pandemic but aren't. It's quite long.
Having previously claimed Kent Covid is "twice as deadly", PHE now backtracks and says it's no worse. This hasn't stopped Macron from blaming it for his new lockdown. But are the new variants evading our immune system?
In an original interview for Lockdown Sceptics, Professor Martin Kulldorff says that the censorship of sceptical views by the media, including social media, during a pandemic is a danger to public health.
by Oliver May Professor Martin Kulldorff Now that we are allowed to meet up in groups of six outside their homes, Matt Hancock is warning us not to do anything foolish, like hug one another or breach the two metre rule. “Do it safely," he tweeted. "Don’t blow it now”. But in fact, the people who shouldn't "blow it" are Boris Johnson, Sir Patrick Vallance, Chris Whitty and, yes, Matt Hancock. That is the view of Martin Kulldorff, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, biostatistician and epidemiologist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts, and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration. Professor Kulldorff has told the UK Government and its scientific advisors exactly who they should be listening to and why if they want to save lives – and it doesn't include vaccinating the entire population, including children. He said this on Twitter on March 15th – “Thinking that everyone must be vaccinated is as scientifically flawed as thinking that nobody should. Covid vaccines are important for older high-risk people and their care-takes. Those with prior natural infection do not need it. Nor children.” – and Twitter attached a health warning to his Tweet: “This tweet is misleading.

Rishi Sunak has confirmed that he opposed the imposition of a "circuit breaker" lockdown in September due to the impact on people's jobs and livelihoods, but that the "ultimate" decision was Boris Johnson's.
The "Rule of Six" is almost unenforceable because of the Government's decision to allow two households to meet outside, say police chiefs.
The UK no longer has the highest Covid death rate in the world, according to data just released by Statista. We're now fifth. Sweden, which didn't lock down, is 22nd.
The four million people in England and Wales who have been told to shield during lockdown will no longer have to do so from Thursday, but are still being advised by the Government to keep social contacts at low levels.
Hospital Covid outbreaks happened in part because the wrong staff received full PPE, a new study suggests. Less severely ill patients are actually more likely to infect people around them than those requiring oxygen.
