When faced with a threat which is new and lacking any known cure, the potential scale of which has the potential to overwhelm your health services, and your stock of PPE is low and international demand exploding, over ordering to ensure any eventuality is met, isn’t so surprising.

Even £1 wasted is a lot of money. Waste is never desirable but is sometimes unavoidable. Reviewing what, when and how things were done is what the enquiry is for, so we can avoid more next time.

“Lacking any known cure” - more nonsense from you Wisbech - with a survival rate of 99.90% a glass of honey and lemon worked for most people.

Just as well the NHS effectively shut down for 2 years so as to not be overwhelmed with tens of thousands of undiagnosed cancers leading to so many avoidable early deaths.

The Government panicked and completely over ordered the stocks of PPE and paid through the nose for it as well.

Personally I suspect that most of the people who were going to die of covid died of it whether they took the vaccine or not. If anything it may have delayed the death somewhat.

I also suspect that the vaccines....aside from having a significantly higher than normal complication and damage issue....have reduced immune systems.

That's my layman's opinion from having experienced this like everybody else. However, in time, the truth about this insane and generationally expensive time period will come out.

We spent a huge amount of money for hardly anything other than covering the arses of politicians from our weak wristed media.

OMG this nonsensical drum is being banged again?

Those determined to never understand will remain in a bubble of ignorance.

It’s not the survival rate we achieved that matters. It’s the death rate we would have seen without taking the measures we did, plus the impact on our health services, which would have resulted in many more deaths. The impact was bad enough, as we have seen, but it could have been much, much, worse:-

Unless the House of Commons library is out by a factor 100 which is possible but unlikely.
