It's certainly true that the initial #Covid19 vaccine roll-out was phenomenally successful.
But I find it troubling that the government has largely given up on covid vaccines in more recent years.
The vaccines have undoubtedly saved lives, but they don't have a brilliant duration of immunity. Regular boosters are essential to maintain protection.
And regular boosters are no longer available on the NHS for the vast majority of us.

The proven liar #Johnson contemptuously wrote in his odious column for the Daily Mail about the #covidinquiry, an inquiry he set up:
“More than three years after the end of the pandemic, they are still wrangling about what went wrong.”
no regret
no apology
no contrition

Odd coverage of the #covidinquiry by the Today Programme.

I suppose the Beeb have been stung by recent accusations of bias, so rather than just presenting the views of actual scientists saying that #Covid19 killed lots of people, they need to also have a fucking idiot conspiracy theorist to say that covid was fine and it was just the lockdowns that killed all those hundreds of thousands of people, just for "balance".

‘Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland, decision-making was "chaotic" and affected by “political machinations”’
It’s a quote from the Covid Inquiry, but could be applied to anything to do with NI government.

#Hancock is asked by the QC at the #CovidInquiry "Did you receive the data"
[mortality data in care homes]
"You can see by the conversations we* are having around it there are discussions, and by May, the quality of data was more accurate."*he is referring to Helen Whately and himself here

#CovidInquiry – a damning report
“#FatalStrategicFlaws” in #pandemic planning led to thousands of #AvoidableDeaths, says inquiry lead #BaronessHallett
'Although #BorisJohnson promised a “world-beating system”, only half of close contacts were reached through #TestAndTrace in badly affected areas. The use of private companies such as #Serco added to the complications, while, unfathomably, local #NHS expertise was overlooked.'
