Horror of health policy killings

Scottish/UK covid-19 inquiries highlighting lockdown policy harms and more

THE BBC reported the covid inquiries as dull procedural exercises while ignoring the horror of what happened.

It was summed up by the tremble in the voice of a daughter describing her mother’s final video call, and the resigned tone of care home managers admitting they were forbidden to call ambulances.

Long before hearings began, red lights were flashing in the data. Care home mortality in both Scotland and England spiked, not in correlation with viral spread, but in parallel with policy directives:

Within eight weeks, 2,500 excess deaths occurred in Scottish care homes and many multiples of that in England. Testimonies later confirmed these individuals were not dying of respiratory failure but of starvation, dehydration, sedation, and neglect.

The tragedy was reframed as ‘the virus’s toll’. The paperwork ensured it. Doctors were instructed to record ‘covid-19, suspected’ without testing, and hospitals were paid handsomely for every death mis-recorded as ‘covid-19’.

When the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry opened hearings in 2023 under Lord Brailsford, witnesses began naming what families had known all along:

Dr Donald Macaskill, chief executive of Scottish Care, confessed under oath that “human rights law was broken”.
