A very sobering read....and BioP's accounts have been really harrowing reports. The cruelty of those wielding the powers to lock up and deprive people of essential human contact (precipitating despair, illness, death) has plumbed depths one might not have imagined could happen in civilised societies.
What did 'they' hope to achieve? Permanent subservience to the diktats of the State? Was it just 'their' giant personal profit making exercise with lockdowns followed by the jab roll out? Was is it to test psychological framing ( for future 'crises')?
Across the world major countries including China worked in concert (releasing pictures of their own citizens falling down in the street)....to what end? Five years on from 'their' vicious and cruel 'Event', what do 'they' conclude? Rhetorical Qs!
There are daily growing numbers who will never again buckle under propaganda, peer pressure, 'celebrity' endorsement etc. The wanton cruelty of 'these people' has been clearly demonstrated at the expense of family, friends and next door neighbours.
The crucial point you make is that more and more people are waking up to this globalist onslaught and will - hopefully - not only be able to resist future tyrannical impositions, but also express visible dissent towards the dominant/official narratives.
Thanks for this. To prevent future lockdowns there needs to be a way to influence governments. There is only the simulation of a democracy now, as both government and opposition have the same policies. If there is a real opposition it is disorganised and outside Parliament.
It was appalling, especially for older people who were trapped in their homes and were the first to be injected with unnecessary and risky unknown substances.
It's also worth mentioning there have been many similar revealtions at the UK COVID-19 inquiry''whitewash''' vs Scottish... the delivery has just been much more low key. Like Age UK admitting some care homes actually ran out of end of life drugs at the same time older people were struggling to access LIFE SAVING medications, were neglected by the NHS and living in fear due to media messaging so stayed away from attending hospital.
I agree that there has been lots of useful detail to support sceptical arguments in the UK Covid Inquiry; I have regularly highlighted a lot of stuff from the witness statements about psychological manipulation and masks. However, the tone and approach taken by Lady Hallett & co - along with the way the Inquiry has questioned the few sceptical voices they allowed in as participants - clearly suggests a fait accompli as to the conclusion they are going to ultimately draw.
Yes, excellent work on masks and the psychology of it all. I do not doubt that even the Scottish inquiry was set up in much the same as UK BUT such is the scale of damage inflicted by lockdown not 'COVID' even the most hand picked witness and scripted testimonies cannot conceal the truth and it is THAT which i have focused on and implored others at HART etc to do the same. To sit back and do nothing with all this evidence being exposed and default into a learned helpleness of ''predetermined conclusions'' is a waste of time/energy and not any sort of revelation in itself as this was always to be expected. It's what they ARE giving the sceptics and this is being overlooked i find extraordinary!
I agree, Gary. Please read my reply to Dave ( Biologyphenom) on the care homes module. I'd like to talk to you about my submission of written evidence via the People's Care Watchdog. Thanks.
The UK Covid Inquiry, as we expected it would be, has been an utter whitewash...The care homes module is coming up in the summer, and I have little faith in the core participants that were selected to expose the truth. Rights for Residents (now Care Rights UK) and John's Campaign will focus on visiting restrictions only, not the barbarity and inhumanity of the end-of-life protocols that fast-tracked the elderly and disabled to lonely, painful, gruesome deaths. The submissions of each make no mention of end-of-life "pathways", of the impact of NG165, NG163, starvation, dehydration, and the deliberate orchestration of death. None.
RFR removed anyone who said anything too critical of care providers or Government from their group. They removed posts suggesting demonstrations or marches against the restrictions. I was one of the ones they kicked out, and went on to co-found Unlock Care Homes, as you know.
I didn't make the deadline to apply for core participant status for the care sector module as I was occupied with caring for my mum 24/7 after I got her home and off the "pathway". She became my number 1 priority. I doubt we would have been selected. Too critical, too 'radical'. The equally critical and 'radical' People's Care Watchdog tried, but were rejected on the grounds they were too small and hadn't contributed much!!
They persevered and got the chance to submit written evidence. I wrote the section on the impact of end-of-life protocol abuses, remote medicine, antibiotics policy, sedatives, antipsychotics, neglect, and impact of visiting restrictions on mental and physical health.
I doubt it will be referred to in any depth, if at all...
But its written and will be accessible to the public. We will make every effort to ensure the public and press know about it!!
Amanda not that i overly disagree with the premise of your post here however on this point.
''The submissions of each make no mention of end-of-life "pathways", of the impact of NG165, NG163, starvation, dehydration, and the deliberate orchestration of death. None.''
The opposite i find is true when you look at ALL the evidence. I've been on about this for a while as i hear cries of ''whitewash'' from those likely to have never read a single witness statement nor watched any full sessions.
''In some places (care homes) supplies of end of life medications ran out.''
and....
‘Whilst receiving treatment, certain powerful drugs such as risperidone and midazolam were administered at striking levels and frequencies to patients who were vulnerable, placid and even incapable of any physical exertion.’’
‘‘I believe visiting guidance across Hospitals and Social Care amounted to abuse (Inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment) under Article 3 of the ECHR. The Social Care institute for Excellence (SUE) recognises different types of psychological and emotional abuse: 'enforced social isolation',’failure to respect privacy’,’preventing stimulation..." etc. SCIE also state different types of organisational or institutional abuse: "discouraging visits or the involvement of relatives or friends","lack of respect for dignity and privacy.’’
‘‘It seems to many of our members that their loved ones suffered discriminatory treatment through the use of frailty scoring to prioritise, refuse and withdraw treatment and that their loved ones were neglected in hospital because they were `’old.’’
''Our members tell us they were not informed of deterioration, they were unaware that their loved ones were dying, requests for updates were ignored, phone calls to the wards were unanswered and staff were abrupt and made family members feel they were bothering the hospital staff….
..We have also had reports of loved one's death certificates noting covid was present, yet the hospital records reveal that the patient had had negative covid tests throughout hospital stays.’’
''My wife starved herself to death. Her death was due to the pandemic but she didn't die from the virus itself. It wasn't coronavirus, or the frailty of old age' [as listed on her death certificate]. It was death due to a refusal to eat.''
In my view what SHOULD be the focus is what IS being evidenced orally or within a witness statement and as i have proven there is MUCH MORE going on at UK inquiry than brandishing it all a whitewash and so it is THAT actual evidence that should be amplified for discussion.
But as the Scottish COVID inquiry has shown EVEN WHEN deep truths are revealled the interest from freedom groups and critics etc is almost non existent no matter how hard i try to show it.
‘‘I have a colleague who believes his mother died from dehydration secdondary to sedation. She had covid and was distressed so she was heavilly sedated as they did not have staff who could sit with her.’’
I hope that was useful. Much of the same evidence has been revealled at UK inquiry vs Scotland just delivered differently or hidden in statements so unless you look for it you won't find it. I'm not sure what more evidence 'critics' want to be revealled before they are satisfied.
It shouldn't matter, you're absolutely right ( where the evidence comes from) but of course it will. Written accounts from individuals or small grassroots groups ( who in the minds of the powers that count here, can be more susceptible to
'disinformation' and groupthink') won't be given the same kudos as the 'direct from the horse's mouth' accounts of large organizations 'untainted' by the influence of more questioning minds.
I dedicated a whole month of my life to researching and writing my report on lockdown harms and end-of-life protocols in care homes ( and lesser extent hospitals), despite believing it is very likely to be dismissed as conspiracy theory or the unhinged imaginings of a traumatized relative. Bit of a waste of time, eh?
I did it precisely because it's important that the information is presented, recorded, and accessible to the public, even if that evidence is effectively whitewashed.
I have no illusions that my 32 page report will be investigated further, or even referred to in the deliberations.
If the core participants presenting evidence based on the accounts of tens of thousands of members make no mention of, let alone evidence end-of-life protocol abuses in their submission, what chance does an account written by a member of a tiny 400-member, lockdown critical, radical grassroots group have of being heard?
Especially when the founder of that group was arrested for removing her granny from a care home, and whose members were given free reign to exchange their 'disinformation' online, and forment 'conspiracy theories'?
Our statements will be buried in the general noise of visiting restrictions presented by the very people promoting Gloria's Law, which would offer zero protection to care home residents in the event of another lockdown. If they themselves haven't 'learnt the lessons' of State imposed lockdowns, if they are unwilling to expose the inhumanity of end-of-life protocols, what possible chance is there that the inquiry will establish the truth and lessons 'to be learned'.
That is the 'whitewash'. The evidence to the Scottish Covid inquiry was overwhelming, and individual family members, care home managers, etc, etc, got to speak in person, we're able to voice the truth on camera, and yet STILL the powers that be chose to do nothing, and STILL the media remained virtually silent.
What possible chance do we have of bringing the truth to the wider public and creating the groundswell of outrage needed to force a proper inquiry into lockdown harms, when the most critical voices will be effectively silenced.
And yes, you are absolutely right again, the ' freedom movement' has been next to useless in exposing these truths, to the point of complicity in the silencing of the truth - even if not through intent - through its obsessive focus on masking mandates and the curtailing of freedom of movement.
Of course, it was important to fight back against these impositions, but how, in the grand scheme of things, do these impositions on our freedoms compare to people being incarcerated in their homes, denied ALL family contact and medical treatment, and starved, dehydrated, and drugged to death??
There is NO comparison, and yet it's taken the best part of five years to even get our freedom fighting friends to pay any attention to these far more important harms... I despair. You have no idea the fights I have had to get these issues even on the bottom rung of the campaign hierarchy.
I have had to fight tooth and nail to get them to pay any attention. It's beyond exhausting, and beyond infuriating. I'm angry. Very angry. All I can do is keep plugging and hassling, but at 64 and 4 years with no income, my energy and patience is truly flagging.
Very good points Amanda and again i largely agree. No one can probably associate more than me vs-
''I have had to fight tooth and nail to get them to pay any attention. It's beyond exhausting, and beyond infuriating. I'm angry. Very angry. All I can do is keep plugging and hassling.''
I'm not the best with words...but what i will say is people underestimate what myself and also Rustler have exposed in Scotland. None of this was ever meant to see the light of day! One must also understand for whatever reason ALL the main bereaved relative groups (UK/Scotland) are under gov/establishment control. eg-I was blocked by CHRS in 2024 quite early on when i started highlighting their own members testimonies. Tell me how that makes ANY sense? Repeat with ''whistleblower nurse'' Lesley Roberts. To me this is all very dark as all i have done is stick to the official evidence and ask questions. Of course we now have ''Anne's Law'' and ''Gloria's Law'' incoming as part of ''lessons learned'' which is nothing of the sort.
I've never looked to rely on the msm nor the inquiries themselves even to be completely honest on what's gone on BUT i did expect sooo much more from those 'speaking out' and COVID sceptic when shown the facts like below. That's been a real eye opener to actually notice on this issue it is nothing more than a tick box exercise. Achieving some 'freedom' street cred if you will and how they just effortlessly move onto other topics. There has been no consistency with the Scottish evidence which is the only way you'd wake people up. In effect it has been 'managed' and greatly watered down as to what it demonstrates really took place during the lockdown.
The inclusion of the UK statements from non core participants is useful, thanks. I haven't had time to tead all in full, but will do ahead of the hearings... my point is that the two core participants, who will be given most of the time, mention none of the factors I describe.
Hi Dave. I'm not talking about the Scottish Covid inquiry here, the evidence of which is extensive, I'm talking explicitly about the two submissions published by the two core participants of the UK Covid Inquiry care homes module, which is yet to be heard.
Both mention neglect, death, and families not being informed, as in your examples. But I read both core participants' submissions and there is not a single mention of end of life protocols, NG163, NG191, or NG165, or deliberate dehydration and antipsychotic sedation, in either.
''there is not a single mention of end of life protocols, NG163, NG191, or NG165, or deliberate dehydration and antipsychotic sedation.''
Yeah i know you were'nt talking about Scottish inquiry but i clearly gave numerous examples from UK inquiry above that shows the above points HAVE BEEN addressed.
So my point is vs specific groups what would it matter given what has ALEADY been evidenced at UK COVID inquiry on all the examples you speak about and of course we have the inaction from 'outspoken freedom groups' etc on what has been EVEN MORE thoroughly evidenced in Scotland?
See paragraph 55- 'The use/ misuse of palliative care in the hospital/care home setting/possible use of discredited Liverpool Care Pathway.'
It also shouldn't matter WHERE the information comes from just that it's there....and it is...in ABUNDANCE but no one with a big platform wants to know and take it forward and i get accused of all sorts for simply pointing it out as they maintain one excuse after another as to why they don't think it's enough or that important.
‘'Our members have frequently raised concerns about apparent institutional pessimism/resignation/fatalism on the part of the health care professionals. Families were all too often wholly unaware that DNACPRs decision had been made, who had made them or why they had been made. This information often came to light, after the death and only when the families managed to obtain copies of the medical notes and records of the deceased. One example of this is recounted by Rhons Tait who discovered that a DNR had been placed on her mother whilst she was in the ambulance.’’
This is pretty wild at my end to sit back and watch it all play out knowing you can do no more to open people's eyes.
Thanks Gary. Cracking article! (shame hardly anyone will read it compared to other stuff on here). I recall you mentioning you had something planned around Scottish COVID inquiry. It's remarkable to me in 2025 the evidence is now overwhelming care home residents died in their thousands March-May 2020 solely from the punishing lockdown restrictions not any novel virus yet those i would expect to be united in promoting that message...HART, UKMFA and WCFH and others 'outspoken' over 'COVID' refuse to do so. It's high time they organised and pushed that message forward using the mountains of official admissions at their disposal...or not. Ultimately imo exposing the care home abuses is the ONLY way to stop more lockdowns and unquestioning public trust in future health emergency declarations...which WILL come.
Reminder both former COVID health secretaries Jeane Freeman and Matt Hancock have stated lockdowns in future = no problem.
It's worth pointing out the 'COVID vaccine' narrative has unarguably been pre-occupying the 'alternative' thinkers of the world over other issues and i think that has not been helpful.
'Lest we forget'. Indeed. Many victims of 'COVID' were World War 2 veterans that fought for freedom against the Nazis. This is how society repaid them in the end..inclusive of experimental injections.
I believe that the vast majority of the commentators in the sceptical community are trying to influence the dominant-narrative believers in the best way they can, their focus shaped by a combination of their knowledge/expertise base and the target group they have in mind when they are writing their articles. As I think you know, a central interest of mine is the psychological manipulation exercise inflicted on the general population (via propaganda, nudges, censorship etc.) so much of my time is spent researching this aspect of the globalist agenda. After saying this, I do concur that the effectiveness of the sceptical movement would be enhanced by a wider sharing of the Scottish Covid Inquiry testimonies.
I agree, Dave. It *IS* the only way to expose the horrors and inhumanity, wake people from their slumber, and ensure lockdowns never happen again. I also agree on the lack of focus and urgency of the 'freedom' groups... you have no idea how hard we have had to push to get it even onto the Together agenda...
Hi Amanda, that's disturbing given your position at Together and as a 'freedom/COVID lockdown' sceptic group they just will not get behind the Scottish evidence. Has it ever really been on the Together agenda though? eg-It's been 10 MONTHS since any new videos related to Scottish inquiry were uploaded to the Youtube channel. Only 4 very short clips from the actual inquiry ever. Dozens and dozens of videos on just about every other topic. There have been 10 videos uploaded on Together Youtube this WEEK alone from 'assisted dying' to net zero and free speech. I also see Alan just interview new head of NIH Dr.Jay Bhattachyra who pushes the lab leak nonsense. Gosh it's all so exhausting as they clearly do have time for other topics but limited or no time for official evidence from the WORLD'S ONLY official COVID inquiry that calls into question the pandemic itself...and to be honest that appears to be the real stumbling block for those most 'outspoken' in this space. They don't want to go there. In 2025 I'm actually embarassed for so many 'speaking out' on COVID denying this and more.
eg- (update as of 19 Feb 2025) Articles 2,3,5,8,14 and 19 of the ECHR are all but confirmed breached during lockdown predominantly for those living in care homes.
I have a minor position at Together despite being one of the few campaign Chairs who actually does any campaiging!!..it's beyond frustrating. Together's focus is not health and social care, even if its the most important for the public. Medical freedom is a fundamental right, but the focus lies elsewhere.
. I still support the team 100% but I'm growing weary. It was agreed almost a year ago that we would post more of your stuff on the Scottish Covid inquiry but nothing came of it, despite my constant badgering.
There's only one person uploading content, and I can't even get my campaign content on health and social care posted without huge time gaps, by which time the 'story' is dead. They need more people, but as I know with my own campaigns, that is extremely difficult.
We need an alternative platform focusing on health and social care specifically. If I had the time, skills, etc. I'd launch one. As it is, I'm struggling to keep my most urgent campaign ( FAIME) assisted suicide) going on a tiny team of 2 and a half!!
Only a month before the vote, and all my focus is on that right now. I'm still weaving in stuff on DNARs, eol death pathways, starvation and dehydration, as it's of the utmost relevance. Also been using your content with Fiona's help to illustrate the issues.
Wish I could convince the main campaigns on the 'no' side how relevant it is, but I'm accused of being a conspiracy theorist, even by people who know me politically for years, and should know better... hey, ho!
As soon as the vote is over, I'll be back onto the eol/care homes stuff. I promise!!
I can completely associate with people ignoring you when you have very genuine concerns over real evidence. You can take a horse to water as the old saying goes. Funny, i too was called a conspiracy theorist and also a troll by those supposedly on our side. Probaby missed other terms but my high school days are long past me to engage in such childish nonsense. I won't be distracted.
Gary, you are to be applauded for collating this list of harrowing stories detailing the misery that so many went through back in those dark days. We must never forget.
Whilst I had some bad days too, I managed to cope by doing all I could, in whatever way possible, to push back against everything and research as much as possible. Maybe it didn't do much (although I definitely woke a few people up), but it certainly gave me purpose at a time when there wasn't much else going on in my life due being on furlough.
Thanks for everything you've done in the past five years, Gary.
Thanks, for this Gary. An excellent piece. Have you thought about approaching Unherd, or Spiked about this? Worth a shot? Might get it more eyeballs.
An idea might be to organize an alternative People's Covid Inquiry Care Homes 'module' to run alongside the official one, bringing in all those like myself, PCW, Dave, Common Knowledge, who have contributed to exposing the harms and educating the public about the impact of care home restrictions and eol protocols? Clare, Hart, and UKMFA did one on vaccine harms this year. They/we should organize another.
A very sobering read....and BioP's accounts have been really harrowing reports. The cruelty of those wielding the powers to lock up and deprive people of essential human contact (precipitating despair, illness, death) has plumbed depths one might not have imagined could happen in civilised societies.

And yes, you are absolutely right again, the ' freedom movement' has been next to useless in exposing these truths, to the point of complicity in the silencing of the truth - even if not through intent - through its obsessive focus on masking mandates and the curtailing of freedom of movement.
Of course, it was important to fight back against these impositions, but how, in the grand scheme of things, do these impositions on our freedoms compare to people being incarcerated in their homes, denied ALL family contact and medical treatment, and starved, dehydrated, and drugged to death??
There is NO comparison, and yet it's taken the best part of five years to even get our freedom fighting friends to pay any attention to these far more important harms... I despair. You have no idea the fights I have had to get these issues even on the bottom rung of the campaign hierarchy.
I have had to fight tooth and nail to get them to pay any attention. It's beyond exhausting, and beyond infuriating. I'm angry. Very angry. All I can do is keep plugging and hassling, but at 64 and 4 years with no income, my energy and patience is truly flagging.
Apologies for the long reply.
Very good points Amanda and again i largely agree. No one can probably associate more than me vs-
''I have had to fight tooth and nail to get them to pay any attention. It's beyond exhausting, and beyond infuriating. I'm angry. Very angry. All I can do is keep plugging and hassling.''
I'm not the best with words...but what i will say is people underestimate what myself and also Rustler have exposed in Scotland. None of this was ever meant to see the light of day! One must also understand for whatever reason ALL the main bereaved relative groups (UK/Scotland) are under gov/establishment control. eg-I was blocked by CHRS in 2024 quite early on when i started highlighting their own members testimonies. Tell me how that makes ANY sense? Repeat with ''whistleblower nurse'' Lesley Roberts. To me this is all very dark as all i have done is stick to the official evidence and ask questions. Of course we now have ''Anne's Law'' and ''Gloria's Law'' incoming as part of ''lessons learned'' which is nothing of the sort.

I've never looked to rely on the msm nor the inquiries themselves even to be completely honest on what's gone on BUT i did expect sooo much more from those 'speaking out' and COVID sceptic when shown the facts like below. That's been a real eye opener to actually notice on this issue it is nothing more than a tick box exercise. Achieving some 'freedom' street cred if you will and how they just effortlessly move onto other topics. There has been no consistency with the Scottish evidence which is the only way you'd wake people up. In effect it has been 'managed' and greatly watered down as to what it demonstrates really took place during the lockdown.

Certainly don't ruin your health over this. I wish i could do more but i know in myself i have given it 100%. It's not over!
Thanks, Dave. I think we broadly agree.
We battle-weary exposers of the truth must sadly battle on..
In solidarity and shared purpose,
Amanda
I'm just warming up still though.
The inclusion of the UK statements from non core participants is useful, thanks. I haven't had time to tead all in full, but will do ahead of the hearings... my point is that the two core participants, who will be given most of the time, mention none of the factors I describe.
Hi Dave. I'm not talking about the Scottish Covid inquiry here, the evidence of which is extensive, I'm talking explicitly about the two submissions published by the two core participants of the UK Covid Inquiry care homes module, which is yet to be heard.
Both mention neglect, death, and families not being informed, as in your examples. But I read both core participants' submissions and there is not a single mention of end of life protocols, NG163, NG191, or NG165, or deliberate dehydration and antipsychotic sedation, in either.
''there is not a single mention of end of life protocols, NG163, NG191, or NG165, or deliberate dehydration and antipsychotic sedation.''
Yeah i know you were'nt talking about Scottish inquiry but i clearly gave numerous examples from UK inquiry above that shows the above points HAVE BEEN addressed.
So my point is vs specific groups what would it matter given what has ALEADY been evidenced at UK COVID inquiry on all the examples you speak about and of course we have the inaction from 'outspoken freedom groups' etc on what has been EVEN MORE thoroughly evidenced in Scotland?
See paragraph 55- 'The use/ misuse of palliative care in the hospital/care home setting/possible use of discredited Liverpool Care Pathway.'

It also shouldn't matter WHERE the information comes from just that it's there....and it is...in ABUNDANCE but no one with a big platform wants to know and take it forward and i get accused of all sorts for simply pointing it out as they maintain one excuse after another as to why they don't think it's enough or that important.
‘'Our members have frequently raised concerns about apparent institutional pessimism/resignation/fatalism on the part of the health care professionals. Families were all too often wholly unaware that DNACPRs decision had been made, who had made them or why they had been made. This information often came to light, after the death and only when the families managed to obtain copies of the medical notes and records of the deceased. One example of this is recounted by Rhons Tait who discovered that a DNR had been placed on her mother whilst she was in the ambulance.’’
This is pretty wild at my end to sit back and watch it all play out knowing you can do no more to open people's eyes.
Thanks Gary. Cracking article! (shame hardly anyone will read it compared to other stuff on here). I recall you mentioning you had something planned around Scottish COVID inquiry. It's remarkable to me in 2025 the evidence is now overwhelming care home residents died in their thousands March-May 2020 solely from the punishing lockdown restrictions not any novel virus yet those i would expect to be united in promoting that message...HART, UKMFA and WCFH and others 'outspoken' over 'COVID' refuse to do so. It's high time they organised and pushed that message forward using the mountains of official admissions at their disposal...or not. Ultimately imo exposing the care home abuses is the ONLY way to stop more lockdowns and unquestioning public trust in future health emergency declarations...which WILL come.
Reminder both former COVID health secretaries Jeane Freeman and Matt Hancock have stated lockdowns in future = no problem.

It's worth pointing out the 'COVID vaccine' narrative has unarguably been pre-occupying the 'alternative' thinkers of the world over other issues and i think that has not been helpful.

'Lest we forget'. Indeed. Many victims of 'COVID' were World War 2 veterans that fought for freedom against the Nazis. This is how society repaid them in the end..inclusive of experimental injections.

Thanks, Dave, for your support and feedback.
I believe that the vast majority of the commentators in the sceptical community are trying to influence the dominant-narrative believers in the best way they can, their focus shaped by a combination of their knowledge/expertise base and the target group they have in mind when they are writing their articles. As I think you know, a central interest of mine is the psychological manipulation exercise inflicted on the general population (via propaganda, nudges, censorship etc.) so much of my time is spent researching this aspect of the globalist agenda. After saying this, I do concur that the effectiveness of the sceptical movement would be enhanced by a wider sharing of the Scottish Covid Inquiry testimonies.
I agree, Dave. It *IS* the only way to expose the horrors and inhumanity, wake people from their slumber, and ensure lockdowns never happen again. I also agree on the lack of focus and urgency of the 'freedom' groups... you have no idea how hard we have had to push to get it even onto the Together agenda...
Hi Amanda, that's disturbing given your position at Together and as a 'freedom/COVID lockdown' sceptic group they just will not get behind the Scottish evidence. Has it ever really been on the Together agenda though? eg-It's been 10 MONTHS since any new videos related to Scottish inquiry were uploaded to the Youtube channel. Only 4 very short clips from the actual inquiry ever. Dozens and dozens of videos on just about every other topic. There have been 10 videos uploaded on Together Youtube this WEEK alone from 'assisted dying' to net zero and free speech. I also see Alan just interview new head of NIH Dr.Jay Bhattachyra who pushes the lab leak nonsense. Gosh it's all so exhausting as they clearly do have time for other topics but limited or no time for official evidence from the WORLD'S ONLY official COVID inquiry that calls into question the pandemic itself...and to be honest that appears to be the real stumbling block for those most 'outspoken' in this space. They don't want to go there. In 2025 I'm actually embarassed for so many 'speaking out' on COVID denying this and more.
eg- (update as of 19 Feb 2025) Articles 2,3,5,8,14 and 19 of the ECHR are all but confirmed breached during lockdown predominantly for those living in care homes.

Thanks
I have a minor position at Together despite being one of the few campaign Chairs who actually does any campaiging!!..it's beyond frustrating. Together's focus is not health and social care, even if its the most important for the public. Medical freedom is a fundamental right, but the focus lies elsewhere.
. I still support the team 100% but I'm growing weary. It was agreed almost a year ago that we would post more of your stuff on the Scottish Covid inquiry but nothing came of it, despite my constant badgering.
There's only one person uploading content, and I can't even get my campaign content on health and social care posted without huge time gaps, by which time the 'story' is dead. They need more people, but as I know with my own campaigns, that is extremely difficult.
We need an alternative platform focusing on health and social care specifically. If I had the time, skills, etc. I'd launch one. As it is, I'm struggling to keep my most urgent campaign ( FAIME) assisted suicide) going on a tiny team of 2 and a half!!
Only a month before the vote, and all my focus is on that right now. I'm still weaving in stuff on DNARs, eol death pathways, starvation and dehydration, as it's of the utmost relevance. Also been using your content with Fiona's help to illustrate the issues.
Wish I could convince the main campaigns on the 'no' side how relevant it is, but I'm accused of being a conspiracy theorist, even by people who know me politically for years, and should know better... hey, ho!
As soon as the vote is over, I'll be back onto the eol/care homes stuff. I promise!!
I can completely associate with people ignoring you when you have very genuine concerns over real evidence. You can take a horse to water as the old saying goes. Funny, i too was called a conspiracy theorist and also a troll by those supposedly on our side. Probaby missed other terms but my high school days are long past me to engage in such childish nonsense. I won't be distracted.

Excellent article Gary
Thank you, Linda.
Gary, you are to be applauded for collating this list of harrowing stories detailing the misery that so many went through back in those dark days. We must never forget.
Whilst I had some bad days too, I managed to cope by doing all I could, in whatever way possible, to push back against everything and research as much as possible. Maybe it didn't do much (although I definitely woke a few people up), but it certainly gave me purpose at a time when there wasn't much else going on in my life due being on furlough.
Thanks for everything you've done in the past five years, Gary.
Thank you, PB - your support & encouragement are much appreciated.
Thanks, for this Gary. An excellent piece. Have you thought about approaching Unherd, or Spiked about this? Worth a shot? Might get it more eyeballs.
An idea might be to organize an alternative People's Covid Inquiry Care Homes 'module' to run alongside the official one, bringing in all those like myself, PCW, Dave, Common Knowledge, who have contributed to exposing the harms and educating the public about the impact of care home restrictions and eol protocols? Clare, Hart, and UKMFA did one on vaccine harms this year. They/we should organize another.
