On Monday, UKHSA head Jenny Harries told MPs the agency had supplied detailed deaths data to vaccine companies but couldn't release it to the public for 'commercial sensitivity reasons'. Something to hide?
The UKHSA has declared a "national incident" over the number of measles cases in the West Midlands. Many have blamed vaccine 'misinformation' for low vaccine take-up. But this doesn't add up.
The UKHSA has been caught using a made-up rise of 5°C in 80 years to spread alarm about a non-existent dengue fever plague in London.
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.
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.
As some hospitals re-impose mask requirements on staff, patients and visitors, Dr Gary Sidley calls on the UKHSA to come clean about the lack of evidence and discourage their use in all clinical areas.
UKHSA's 100 Covid models that it says are the evidence base for lockdown are not science, say Professor Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson, who have now gone through and reviewed them all.
Brits should brace for another Covid resurgence this winter, health chiefs have said amid an uptick in cases. Oh dear, is this still a thing?
Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson have taken it upon themselves to appraise the UKHSA's evidence for Covid restrictions. No wonder they didn't want to do it themselves, they say: it's a complete mess.
Well, it now looks as if the grandees are turning against each other, with Sir Patrick Vallance, the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser during Covid, accusing politicians of cherry-picking the science.
