Or was the virus not that bad? And you agree with him. You agree that it was ok.
So he closed all the hospitals and people died from many other ailments. That was also ok because if the had had Covid within a certain period then the death could be appointed to Covid anyway.

Like I?ve said before and I?ll say again if I was in England during this period i would be dead. Another poster on here would have been dead.

Instead of mandating the vaccine on health staff they let people die whilst nurses danced in empty hospitals.

You can?t play for both teams Kerr!

Regarding Trump!
I disagree with the MNRA technology so I disagree with him on having it imported into cancer vaccines.

I do agree with him on other topics.
Again, I suggest that you watch Whitty’s testimony from the Inquiry. The passages taken totally out of context by those with a conspiracy mindset don’t really help. Watching what he actualy said will give you a better chance of understanding what he was saying.

Whitty's view was that seeking to mandate vaccination would be counterproductive for the reason set out above, which include the risk that seeking to mandate would drive vaccine hesitancy (which is an argument that I have made in this thread). In other words, he took the view that not mandating it might increase the uptake of the vaccine and by dint of that, avoid losing staff who were desperately needed at that time.

I don’t understand how you can make anything approaching valid criticism of that.

You seem to have misunderstood the position in respect of UK hospitals. They were never closed at any point. Elective and non-emergency work was stopped for a while, which would have been a pain for those waiting elective treatment, but a hospital cannot perform non-emergency surgery if the ICU beds needed to support that work are full of covid patients. Furthermore, the NHS had to ‘draw in its horns’, in the sense that anaesthetists in particular were committed to proving care to intubated patients and many nurses had to be re-purposed to support ICU staff.

Your comment about letting people die takes you to a new low point on this thread. Take a break from feeding your beliefs on Twitter and watch a bit of Dr Kevin Fong giving evidence at the Covid Inquiry:

If you are pressed for time, I’d suggest giving it 15 minutes from 20)00 onwards. His testimony accords with that given to me by two people involved in front line care at that time who I know very well and trust completely. That was the reality of the inside of the NHS at that time and your slurs are ill-informed and pathetic. You should reflect and then hang you head in shame, but with regret I fear that you are beyond that point.
