The conclusion of the enquiry is already decided. Everything about the questioning and tone says so.

Same answer. They aren’t equally valid or valuable. It depends on the quality of the author.

There are really too many sources that can produce a serious piece to single out a few, but as examples, Channel 4. The Times. The Telegraph. The Guardian. CNN.

Oh the rich/poor gap got really huge with the assistance of Covid. People not working and having their homes repossessed.

And at the other end of the spectrum/rainbow, the rich got richer.

"Baroness Michelle Mone says she "regrets" not being more transparent about her links with a company that had UK government contracts during the pandemic.

PPE Medpro is being sued by the UK government for £122m plus costs for "breach of contract and unjust enrichment".

It is also being investigated by the National Crime Agency (NCA).

In December 2020 lawyers for the Tory peer said she had "no role or function" in the firm.

They also said this applied to the process by which contracts were awarded to PPE Medpro.

But in November 2021 the UK government revealed that Baroness Mone was the "source of referral" for the company getting a place on the so-called "VIP lane" for offers of personal protective equipment for the NHS." (BBC website, 10 Dec 2023)

I disengage, I turn the page.

Whenever the “excess deaths”:conspiracy theories pop up here the first thing I do is check who is making the claims and why. David Dickson is a new name and none of the profiles I found fit this activity. So we have to take them at face value.

Without checking to confirm that they’ve not been tampered with we can assume the stats are accurate as they appear to be the official ones. So far, so good.

However, the accuracy evaporates as soon as Mr Dickson makes the assertion that this isn’t Covid related, but due to the lockdowns.

It is of course nonsense, as has been explained several times before. It’s entirely due to Covid. Not always directly caused by the virus but by the impact of the virus on our health care. Late diagnosis and late treatment being the most obvious with the contribution of long Covid only now revealing itself. The stress the NHS was already under would likely have seen a rise without Covid.

If the lockdowns made any contribution it would have been positive in the effect they had in allowing our health service to function at the level it did.

Demographics involving an aging population living longer also contribute. So does the methodology. See:-

Why do some people regard facts that don’t match their own views as excuses?

Those who are always searching for conspiracies and deviousness will always look for improbable explanations. Most of the time ducks are ducks.

A typical piece from the favoured purveyor of raised eyebrow misinformation “Dr” John Campbell. What’s truly bizarre is that people still reference this guy!

What is an adverse reaction? For most it’s nothing more than a slightly sore arm at the injection site. Why are they being reported when others aren’t? Because they are being asked to report them, as it’s a new technology. Why so many? Possibly because it has been such a huge programme? Is it a concern? Not in any way at all.
