Did the Covid vaccines save 7,000 in the summer of 2022? That's the claim of a new Lancet modelling study. But the underlying data show that two thirds of the hospitalisations and deaths were in the fully vaccinated.
Junk science alert: top Met Office scientists have indicated that they are set to ditch actual temperature data in favour of model predictions, the quicker to declare a breach of the 1.5°C 'threshold'.
According to modelling published in the Lancet the Covid vaccines saved 20 million lives in the first year alone. How is that possible when UK data show that up to 92% of deaths were in the vaccinated?
Prof Neil Ferguson is denying responsibility for lockdown, telling the Covid Inquiry that scientists only set out evidence for ministers. Yet his infamous March 2020 report stated that lockdown was the only option.
Boris Johnson told the Covid Inquiry he hesitated to trust the apocalyptic predictions of Neil Ferguson's models because of his poor record from previous viruses. He was right to do so, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.
Lockdown was necessary to prevent an "extraordinarily high loss of life", Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty told the Covid Inquiry today, despite Sweden long ago exposing such a claim as palpable nonsense.
The UKHSA pleads poverty to get out of providing any systematic appraisal of the models it used to justify lockdown despite having a £2.4bn Covid budget for the coming year, say Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson.
As the Covid Inquiry continues to suggest that locking down earlier would have saved lives, Nick Rendell reminds us that infections were already falling before lockdown and any response would have seemed to 'work'.
The real Covid scandal is emerging right in front of the inquiry’s nose, writes Fraser Nelson: Britain could have escaped the horrors of lockdown, but nobody pulled apart the doom models driving it.
A new Nature modelling study makes the absurd claim that Covid vaccination prevented 354,000 Delta wave deaths in Japan, despite this being 10 times the mortality rate of the earlier waves.
