The Covid Inquiry

230,000 Deaths and the ‘Calculated Silence’ of the Medical Establishment

The Covid Inquiry’s second report has helped expose the UK’s ‘closed club’ approach to dealing with the pandemic – which cost so many people their lives, writes former WHO director Anthony Costello

The Covid-19 Inquiry’s second report, published in November, was a devastating critique of the medical advisors, civil servants, and politicians who led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century.

With 232,000 deaths, the country experienced a death rate five times higher than the east Asian states that took rapid action to suppress and control the Coronavirus. The figure is five times more than the number of deaths inflicted during the Blitz.

The bereaved need accountability – but they won’t get it from the medical establishment.
