Government Reports Now Acknowledge The Lack Of Evidence Behind COVID Mandates
Scottish Report Details Predictable, Infuriating Failures Of Governments To Accurately Examine Evidence
The Scottish government, one of the worst offenders of COVID extremism during the pandemic, commissioned a report from an independent “public health physician and medical epidemiologist,” Dr. Ashley Croft.Before examining the evidence base of COVID interventions, Dr. Croft addressed some of the measures used to “prevent” COVID-19 by the UK and other governments. Those included vaccination, masks, and lockdowns. He also pointed out an extremely obvious reality with regards to the severity of COVID; more specifically the lack there of.
Even in 2020, according to Croft, the “case-fatality rate,” meaning the rate of mortality among detected cases, was “effectively "zero” among healthy children under the age of 18.
The case-fatality rate (CFR) of COVID-19 for different age cohorts in England during 2020 is shown in the table (the Scottish counts are lower than the English counts, but the rates are likely to be broadly similar); of note, the CFR for those aged under 18 was 0.0003% (i.e. effectively zero, in respect of otherwise healthy children), and for those aged 18 to 49 it was 0.006% – only in the case of people aged ≥ 85 did it rise to 1.9%:146
For those aged 18-49 it was an infinitesimal 0.006%. Also effectively zero.
And remember, this is the “case” fatality rate, not the “infection” fatality rate. That number would be significantly lower, if even possible.
That’s the “risk” from COVID, in 2020, posed to young people. The “risk” that led governments to impose universal mask mandates, school closures, lockdowns and other absurdist policies.
Remember curfews and 25% capacity limits? All to protect the vast majority of the population from a nonexistent risk?
Croft also pointed out that by late 2021 the mRNA vaccinations proved to be almost entirely ineffective at preventing infection or transmission, an obvious truth that governments, including Scotland’s, ignored when mandating vaccine passports for any number of every day activities.
Even more concerning, he explained that there were nearly 2,400 “spontaneous reports suggesting a fatal outcome” after COVID-19 vaccination in the UK.
A two-year analysis of Yellow Card reports (i.e. spontaneously-reported vaccine adverse events), published in December 2022 by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), documented 2,362 spontaneous reports suggesting a fatal outcome following COVID-19 vaccination; while of concern, the association does not prove causality
As he has stated, that does not prove causality, but the high number is concerning when compared to the short term protection that rapidly wanes to near zero. Especially considering the already almost-nonexistent risk for those under 50.
