The Covid Inquiry has claimed this week that the vaccines saved 475,000 UK lives. It's yet another fantasy from the modellers, says Dr Clare Craig. Look at the actual data and you see a very different picture.
The statistics regulator has written to the Covid Inquiry to rap its knuckles over the "misleading" use of a Neil Ferguson modelling claim that locking down a week earlier would have meant "23,000 fewer deaths".
The "superflu" fizzled out like every winter bug does, but the media and NHS had everyone panicking anyway, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson. We need less drama and more data; we've all seen winters before.
The OBR has been spouting climate doom based on a now-retracted, deeply flawed Nature paper, says Chris Morrison. After this scientific car crash, perhaps they should quit the climate catastrophising game altogether.
The Covid Inquiry is an inquiry of, by and for lawyers, says Ramesh Thakur – just a carefully staged political whitewash with no real search for the truth and no hope of accountability.
The Covid Inquiry states ministers failed to grasp the shortcomings of models, but then asserts that 23,000 people died because lockdown was late. It's an absurd contradiction, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.
The Covid Inquiry module two report fails to question faulty assumptions and draws conclusions without engaging with the evidence, say Professor Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson in a damning assessment.
The technocrats are falling across the West as their ideology founders on reality. The cracking of the Net Zero consensus, like the end of Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, is a moment of hope, says Dr Tilak Doshi.
Chartered Meteorologist Andrew Sibley says the Met Office has serious questions to answer over the accuracy of its temperature measurements. Instrument changes and urban growth cast major doubt on recent warming trends.
The Covid response was not an error, and it was not the result of rushing to counter an unknown pathogen. It was a lot of people, mostly professionals, systematically doing what they knew was wrong, says Dr David Bell.
