"UK Covid Inquiry Sheds Light on Great Barrington Declaration's Impact"

The UK Covid inquiry has faced criticism for its handling of dissenting viewpoints, particularly regarding the Great Barrington Declaration, which proposed an alternative approach to lockdowns. Senior scientists, including the UK Chief Scientific Adviser, were found to have used unprofessional language towards lockdown critics. The inquiry also demonstrated a lack of understanding of the Declaration's intentions and misrepresented its recommendations. Critics argue that the inquiry's treatment of dissenting views undermines its ability to assess the necessity and proportionality of government actions during the pandemic.
