7th January 2024 – Mike Fairclough on X:
‘Questions for the @covidinquiryuk Why were children in Britain given a medical intervention which they simply didn’t need? One which still has no long-term safety data and which could seriously harm a child? A flawed product which doesn’t even prevent a child from catching and spreading the virus it was designed for? And to encourage this all without parental consent? Furthermore, why choose Pfizer, which has a long and well documented history of criminal/medical negligence to provide this product? Almost 90% of UK parents of 5-11 year old children decided against their child receiving the Covid vaccine. The consensus among parents is that the risks from the Covid vaccine far outweigh any potential benefits for a child. Parents and children living in the UK deserve answers.’

25th January 2024 – In the Daily Sceptic, ‘BBC “Misrepresented” Covid Risk to Boost Lockdown Support, Says Top Government Scientific Adviser‘
Read this:
‘The BBC was allowed to “misrepresent” the risk posed by Covid to most people to boost public support for lockdown, Government adviser Professor Mark Woolhouse has told the U.K. Covid Inquiry. The Telegraph has the story.
Professor Mark Woolhouse, an eminent epidemiologist and Government adviser, lambasted the corporation for having “repeatedly reported rare deaths or illnesses among healthy adults as if they were the norm”.
He said this created the “misleading impression” among BBC News viewers at the start of the pandemic that “we are all at risk” and “the virus does not discriminate”.
In reality, he said it was known at the time that the risk of dying from Covid was 10,000 times higher in the over-75s than the under-15s.
But Prof. Woolhouse told the Covid Inquiry the BBC did not correct its reporting, saying: “I suspect this misinformation was allowed to stand throughout 2020 because it provided a justification for locking down the entire population.”
He said further evidence of this was provided by a briefing dated March 22nd 2020 by a sub-group of the U.K. Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) that focused on the public’s behaviour.
This stated that “a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened; it could be that they are reassured by the low death rate in their demographic group… the perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging”.
Prof. Woolhouse said the “misperception” created by the BBC’s coverage that everyone was at risk was a “barrier to targeting interventions at the vulnerable minority who truly were at high risk from Covid”.
In his written submission to the inquiry about the impact north of the Border, he said: “I fear that Scottish Government’s pandemic response was compromised as a result.”
He also concluded that lockdown had been “least effective at protecting the most vulnerable precisely because of their need to have contacts with health care and social care workers — self-isolation was not an option.” The expert added: “This should have been recognised from the outset.”

Many of us recognised that events were ‘not right’ precisely because of dodgy BBC reporting from the outset – it was one of the ‘signs’ of the need to think independently and critically.
What an admission about the role of the BBC – totally unacceptable:
