Lord Stern's official climate review found that if the world did nothing it would make us just 5% poorer. As with Covid, the cure is clearly worse than the disease – even for those who accept the official 'science'.
There is no solid proof masks ever slowed the spread of Covid and they may have made things worse, England's former Deputy Chief Medical Officer and now UKHSA boss has said.
Angela McLean, the Government's Chief Scientist, told the Covid Inquiry that the U.K.'s 'circuit breaker' lockdowns in 2020 cut Covid infections. That's not what the data show, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.
Fourteen years ago, the BMJ was instrumental in exposing fraudulent medical research. Now, it simply toes the establishment line. Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson write an obituary for the once fearsome watchdog.
The Washington Post recently launched a spiteful attack on last year's Nobel Physics prize winner, Dr. John Clauser. But it backfired spectacularly when it called on the services of a fake 'Nobel Laureate'.
Lockdown was necessary to prevent an "extraordinarily high loss of life", Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty told the Covid Inquiry today, despite Sweden long ago exposing such a claim as palpable nonsense.
Repeatedly in the Covid Inquiry it is claimed that 2020's Eat Out to Help Out scheme drove a second Covid wave. But the evidence for this just isn't there, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.
After a few months of the Hallett pantomime, it's quite clear that the Covid Inquiry is not about evidence-based policy. Time to put it out of its misery, say Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson.
The UKHSA pleads poverty to get out of providing any systematic appraisal of the models it used to justify lockdown despite having a £2.4bn Covid budget for the coming year, say Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson.
The 'graph of doom' used to justify the second lockdown was known by the Government to be wrong, evidence submitted to the Covid Inquiry has shown. So why was it used?
