BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson has claimed that climate change is driving mass immigration into Europe. However, surveys reveal that it was the over-reaction to Covid that has really triggered the exodus.
Nick Rendell digs into the evidence to expose once more the lie that locking down sooner would have made any difference – a claim that seems to be taken as read by the Covid Inquiry.
As the Covid Inquiry continues to suggest that locking down earlier would have saved lives, Nick Rendell reminds us that infections were already falling before lockdown and any response would have seemed to 'work'.
The Covid Inquiry in Scotland has already spent around £10m investigating excess deaths during the pandemic. So, when are we going to have an inquiry into the even higher excess deaths now, asks Nick Rendell.
The winter death toll last year in Scotland was the worst in 30 years, the BBC reports. What, worse than during the 'pandemic'? And didn't the vaccines stop everyone dying? These questions are passed over, of course.
Heart failure deaths in 2023 are up 26% on 2020 levels, liver-related deaths are up 22% and diabetes deaths are up 19%. What's behind these worrying trends, asks Nick Rendell.
Deaths from heart failure in 2023 have been 26% higher than pre-pandemic levels, the latest data show. How much of this is because lockdown made the nation less healthy and active?
Even on the ONS's own data it's clear that there was never a 'pandemic of the unvaccinated' as the vast majority of deaths since the rollout have always been in the vaccinated, writes Nick Rendell.
Despite the vaccine rollout, Covid hospital admissions increased by 10% in the second 600 days of the pandemic, says Nick Rendell. Why? Because the vaccines didn't stop you catching Covid or infecting others.
Deaths from heart failure in recent weeks have been 27% above the pre-pandemic baseline. It's hard to see how the NHS crisis is to blame as cancer and dementia deaths are normal. So what's going on?
In countries across Europe the number of people dying in the past year is far higher than the number who died during the 'once in a century' pandemic years of 2020 and 2021. But now, no one seems to care.
Heart failure deaths in May hit 44% above their pre-pandemic expected level. So why is the Government refusing to investigate, asks Nick Rendell.
