He's made the same claim more than once, that only China has ever had a successful lockdown.

There are normally two causes of death on a death certificate.
The main stream media are stating that Captain Sir Tom Moore died from Covid-19 despite him being admitted to hospital suffering from pneumonia and having tested positive for Covid-19 in the previous 28 days.
The question is how did he get Covid-19 when he was being treated for pneumonia at home. Someone must have brought it into his home.
Correct Islay, normally a cause and, if relevant. a contributory cause. All death certificates state primary cause, in the case of that Tom Moore guy it was pneumonia. However because he, like many others, had tested positive in the preceding 28 days the secondary cause will be given as not Covid-19 but 'deceased had tested positive for Covid-19 in the preceding 28 days' which in the opinion of anyone with an ounce of common sense is not a secondary cause of death, will be on his death certificate. I'm sure his daughter will soon print off copies of it for sale so we'll most likely be able to see for ourselves.
What we're expected to believe in cases like Tom Moore's is that although he was admitted to hospital with pneumonia he'd have survived if he hadn't had that positive Covid-19 test - obviously total nonsense. How on earth can a positive test be considered a contributory cause of death? It can't.
The data includes all deaths where Covid-19 is mentioned on the death certificate including secondary causes of 'deceased had tested positive for Covid-19 in the preceding 28 days' or words to that effect. Doctors are being told they must mention any positive Covid-19 test within previous 28 days on a death certificate if there has been one whether they believe it has contributed to death or not, might even be stuck in there as a tertiary cause or even an incidental comment.
I've said before that this whole situation is scandalous and I stick by that description.
He was being treated in hospital which is where his family believes he caught covid. He was home for over a week before going back to hospital and dying a few days later. It's unlikely the covid didn't make things worse, no? 100-year olds aren't really the issue though, it's when a 50-year old dies from covid and because he was a bit overweight, the covid-deniers will blame that lack of condition, as if everyone should be athletes.
