Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter has told the BBC that Covid infections were dropping before lockdown and he "really, really regrets" not having evidence sooner that closing schools was pointless.
COP28 President Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber sent the alarmists scrambling for damage limitation this week when he said there was "no science" that says phasing out fossil fuels will limit global warming at 1.5°C.
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.

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.
