    for someone that had lost a mother in the second lockdown, the revelations that have come out this week have truly been shocking and and sickening , the attitude with the MP and PM is beyond despicable. This inquiry ultimately will do nothing for the victims that have died families and people recovering from long covid of the virus. Just lessons learnt for the government , which is rotten to the core.

    My father-in-law went into hospital with a heart attack. He was recovering, but following a patient being brought on the ward with the classic signs of covid, he developed symptoms, his recovery stopped, and he died. IN JANUARY 2020. It was here in 2019. Plenty had been ill with mild symptoms. Plenty had been travelling to foreign climates. It was spread before many realised.

    It is galling to hear the revelations about how care home residents and the elderly (and by extension, care staff) were considered to be worthless. At the start of lockdown i was assigned to a temporary team tasked with trying to get advice and support to care homes. Many of them were very worried, or were getting sick. Residents were getting sick and dying without their families around them. Meanwhile, all this politicising was happening, and judgements were being made about the lack of value of certain people's lives. Hearing about how Johnson wanted the eldery to accept their fate, and how Matt Hancock wanted to take decision making about prioritising patients away from clinicians, and now this - makes my blood boil. Add to that all the valuable contracts dished out like sweets to ministers' mates - well....
    This is mothing short of criminal in my opinion.

    My aunt, at age 84, went into hospital with a stomach ulcer. Up to lockdown, she and my uncle had been active and staying healthy apart from osteoarthritis which was being treated. My uncle wasn't allowed in to see my aunt in hospital except once to take her some grapes as she wasn't eating. She was sent home after she had recovered. A day nurse visited. She then was taken back into hospital as fell ill again. She had caught COVID. She recovered almost fully and was ready and packed to go home. Then the doctors said they wanted to do more tests. By the Monday my sister and uncle received a call to say my aunt was dying. We all went in to say our goodbyes but she was so heavily sedated ????? My uncle said it was the same hospital ward as before in Kings College Camberwell. It was the COVID ward.????? After 60 years without a night apart my uncle passed away six months later as he was so heart broken. These are people's families and they were allowed to die to free up pension payments and reduce the population which now sees illegal immigrants coming here and causing a new outbreak of tuberculosis and other pandemics we haven't had for years 😠

    a criminal case should be produced for misconduct in a public office, of which the definition is "serious wilful abuse or neglect of the power or responsibilities of the public office held"
    with over 200,000 dead from covid either directly or indirectly, that speaks for itself with regards to the ability of these politicians to hold such an office.
    if the testimonies that have been given don't show what a shamble these politicians were as they made discissions that cause untold deaths and harm to this country
    and claim that they acted responsible in that office, then clearly they have no idea what responsibility actually means, let alone be able to carry out a responsible role in the first place.

    In my experience the care home situation in Britain is often privatised. People who work there only get £64 a week if they are off sick and are not paid a salary if they are ill so people would rather work while sick than sacrifice their salaries for sick pay they can't pay the bills with. Also many people work in a number of different care homes, so it's hard to control the virus situation if it gets out if control. It's the whole setup that sucks.

    The P-C-R tests used by governments and the NHS, should never have been used as a stand alone diagnostic tool. Yet here we have in 2023, people still using them. The man who invented the P-C-R test, Karry Mullis, RIP, stated when he was alive, that his test should NEVER BE USED as a stand alone tool to diagnose anyone. Secondly, he stated that the amplification rates of the test, if amplified too many times, will only provide much higher false positive rates. In the laboratory setting, which is where his test was meant to be used, not out in society, as is the case now. He said the test is so effective that it would locate one drop of blood in an Olympic swimming pool. The cycle rates being used are around double the amount used in laboratory DNA P-C-R tests, which use around 20-25 cycles, the ones everyone have been using since 2020, are pushed to 45 cycles. What this does is increase the false positive rates to, around 98%. What this means is, healthy people with NO SYMPTOMS, believe their is something wrong with them, but within the immune system is genetic debris, and at 45 cycles the test will pick it up and register a positive result. Anyone stating the tests are correct as they are, are telling lies and pushing the false narrative. This is why, Karry Mullis tried to warn the World about the corrupt use of his test.
    They are abusing people, destroying the economy, by telling people who are healthy to stay at home. A positive test, should be checked by a GP doctor to affirm or refute the test,
    They will not do that, because they have earned tens of thousands each from this scamdemic. Research Karry Mullis, he invented his test and knew how it should be used. Since his timely death, they have done nothing but abuse people. The tips of the tests are covered in Ethylene Oxide, to disinfect them, but Ethylene Oxide is one of the most carcinogenic substances known to man, yet they allow it to be used in areas of the body, which will result in the Ethylene Oxide being in direct contact with wet parts of the nose and throat, risking the health of millions. EO in its dry form may be considered safe, but it is not used in dry areas is it. The brushes used, are not cotton wool, they are plastic bristles which drop off when used. These are the truths people DO NOT HEAR, like so many, that are covered up to hide the numerous evil sins being allowed to continue.
