Covid Inquiry a complete waste of time and money
The Herald
|November 24, 2025
THE ludicrously expensive Covid Inquiry is wonderful for lawyers. It will cost in total £250 million and last four or five years. Not a single life will be saved. Even with the benefit of hindsight its conclusions are confusing. We are told "if lockdown had happened a week earlier 23,000 lives would have been saved, but lockdown could have been avoided altogether".
Sweden did not lock down at all but Covid mortality was no worse than in the UK or its Scandinavian neighbours, Denmark and Norway.
