If it's unknown then others opinions could be right and they have the right to express them without being dismissed as peddling conspiracy theories or misinformation.
If it's just hot air then don't waste any more time in trying to discredit it just because it doesn't follow the official line.

One more point

With due respect you are missing the point.

I don’t regard it as a waste of my time in trying to point out that debating something that cannot be changed is a waste of time. I am trying to encourage debate on something that is current and impacting the way people are behaving now.

We took decisions on lockdowns prior to the vaccines being available. Its done. Now they are available, yet people like Campbell are undermining confidence in them. Showing that what he spreads is misinformation is, in my opinion, relevant, important and needs debate.

The right place to review the past steps is in the enquiry. Once its report and recommendations are published then debating these will doubtless consume many pages.

It’s like discussing whether we should have not sacked PV last year and that we would still have survived and now be in a stronger starting position this season. We didn’t. It’s history. Much better to discuss what team RH should pick for tomorrow in the hope he reads these pages to learn how to do his job.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Imagine the confidence he must have given to others to speak out. Once that first domino falls...

Very symbolic for me javid asking those nurses a question. All of them as expected wearing masks. In this instance they were muzzles stopping them from speaking.

A man doing what a man should do. Protect his ladies.
Women have taken up that mantle on so many occasions recently. Let this be a lesson for some men

It's not easy to discuss things before they've happened is it?
Claiming it's all post facto and so pointless is just saying, "know your place and don't ever question those in authority".
Whatever the outcome of the review the burden of paying for lockdown will fall to those at least risk.

How did protecting the NHS go anyway?

At the end of June 7.6 million people were waiting for hospital treatment – an increase of 100,000 from the month before and almost three million more people than prior to the pandemic.
One in seven of the population is currently on an NHS waiting list for routine treatment, such as hip and knee operations.
