The entire British media (except @talkradio) appears to think the key question about today's Health/Science committee report on the Govt's handling of the start of the pandemic is:

"Will you apologise for not locking down earlier in March 2020?"

1/

This is the same British media that continues to ignore all the evidence from around the world (not just Sweden, Florida & Texas) that shows that lockdowns don't save lives, they merely delay Covid deaths while also causing many more non-Covid deaths.

2/

This is the same British media that reports on the tragedy of the many thousands of cancer patients left undiagnosed and untreated *because* of the lockdown they demanded.

3/

This is the same British media that reports on the misery of millions of people suffering from mental health problems after being locked in their homes for months on end, or losing their jobs or businesses *because* of the lockdown they demanded.

4/

This is the same British media that reports on the massive growth in inequality among school pupils as the poorest children from the most disadvantaged homes were left without any schooling for months on end *because* of the lockdown they demanded.

5/

This is the same British media that reports on the rise in domestic violence, and the abuse and neglect of children locked in their homes *because* of the lockdown they demanded.

6/

This is the same British media that reports angrily about the enormous economic costs, the massive Government debt and the huge tax rises that will have to follow *because* of the lockdown they demanded.

7/

Yet the same British media never stop to think that if they'd done their job properly & demanded to see a cost-benefit analysis of lockdowns instead of blindly following totalitarian China, we wouldn't be in this mess right now.

Maybe they should be apologising to us too 🤷🏻‍♀️
