Unfortunately turning out to be the expensive waste of time it looked like it had the strong potential to be. No questioning of the lockdown narrative, examination of whether they did more harm than good in the long term. No questioning of the woefully inaccurate models that were used, indeed it seems to have taken them as Gospel.
Just the expected "We should have locked down sooner and harder!" narrative, which flew in the face of all accepted responses at the time, and only the Swedes had the sense to ignore. |  |

Covid was a mass killer but so was lockdown. I lost a family member to COVID and 2 dear friends to lockdown. My best mate diagnosed with cancer in January 2020, was told i ohh was treatable and started treatment immediately, from March 2020 every appointment was cancelled due to COVID. When at last he got to see someone in the October he was riddled with cancer and died in the November. A friend lost his business due to lockdown and committed suicide. My point is not that Covid was a killer but so was lockdown and you cannot deny that fact and it should never happen again |  | | |

From the ONS, published on 29/01/2021:
"Of the 50,335 deaths that occurred in March to June 2020 involving COVID-19 in England and Wales, 45,859 (91.1%) had at least one pre-existing condition, while 4,476 (8.9%) had none."
So, during the worst of Covid, the first wave, call it what you will, less than 5,000 people died with the virus as the sole factor, and the average age of those was 83. Again, this is all freely available via the ONS website.
Now, this is not to say that the vaccinations were not a net good. If nothing else it provided some protection and peace of mind for people, but the simple fact remains that if you were a healthy individual under the age of say, 75, you faced a statistically negligible level of anything worse than a couple of days of flu type symptoms from Covid 19. Yes, there were some cases that bucked the trend, but we get that every Winter anyway.
We closed down Society for months on end and nuked our economy to protect people who did not need protecting. | |

I know people who didn’t have any underlying conditions and who became very ill as a result of Covid, one former colleague who was mid 50’s with no underlying conditions was intubated and put in to an induced coma in the local intensive care for 2 weeks before pulling through. A woman I know lost her son, he was fit and healthy and his only medical issue was mild asthma.
It’s not clear cut, but I agree with the thrust of what you say about protecting people who didn’t need protecting, there could have been a more selective approach. Had our leaders not been asleep at the wheel things could have been a lot better. | | | |

So you don’t accept Covid was a mass killer
And also that close contact didn’t spread it
Lockdown should have been much earlier and enforced
When restrictions on force, selfish bastards swanning around in stores as they “ had mental health issues”
Mental health issues is a much misused phrase |
I agree, those who willingly broke it should have had jail time. | | | |

Nobody ever dies from their original diagnosis, it's the conditions that it causes.
I'm not anti vax, but i think they were practically useless in this case. They certainly didn't prevent transmission, which is the primary function of vaccination.Did they mitigate the effects, or was the virus mutating to become weaker - we will never know
Certainly, the claim that vaccination in the past has eradicated serious diseases can't stand up to this claim if transmission has not been stopped. As for herd immunity, that's another theory that didn't stand up either | | | |

Reading this thread makes one wonder that the wrong people were in charge of this epidemic
Maybe, it wasn’t that bad and we overreacted and should have listened to those who really knew best as to how to combat a pandemic
All of us know nothing | |

I’ve no doubt the wrong person was in charge!
The enquiry referred to February 2020 as “a lost month” and it certainly looks that way. Boris was on holiday for 4 days at his grace and favour country home and on the days he did work there are suggestions it was minimal. On top of his holidays, he failed to attend around 5 COBR meetings some of which were chaired by Matt Hancock.
I’d have thought that staring down the barrel of a potential pandemic and seeing what was happening in Italy, he’d have shown a bit more interest and leadership. I don’t begrudge anyone having a holiday, but if a really serious issues is starting to emerge I’d expect the person in charge to step up to the plate.

Until the middle of March the scientific guidance from SAGE was for social distancing, not lockdowns.
This is precisely the problem. The inquiry is writing itself to match conclusions already decided upon. It's worthless. | |

It’s honestly remarkable how many people still accept the official narrative without ever stopping to question it.
If anyone stepped back and examined the entire situation from multiple angles, the cracks become obvious very quickly.
The information is out there, plain as day, and once you start connecting historical patterns with what played out, the whole picture becomes a lot clearer.
All it takes is revisiting what we were told at the time - the contradictions, the mixed messages, the rules for us but not for them, and the sudden disappearance of many of the key decision-makers once the dust settled. Convenient, isn’t it?
It was one of the largest transfers of wealth in modern history, yet so many people still don’t see it.
One thing is certain: the truth always comes out eventually. And when it does, it will be interesting to see whether those who defended the official story so aggressively will acknowledge the hostility, mockery, and outright vitriol they directed at anyone who dared to question it. | | | |
