In the UK, our public inquiry. chaired by a very senior retired judge, into all aspects of the government's response to Covid, is proving highly instructive and somewhat entertaining. Here's a summary of the progress so far

And here's what it's heard about the decision-making process in Boris Johnson's Downing Street

Both Johnson's successor as PM, Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor of the Exchequer under his predecessor, and Johnson himself will both be giving evidence on oath towards the end of next month or early in December, and will have some very difficult questions to answer.

Sounds like they're saying the quiet parts out loud. Doesn't this usually presage something?

The public inquiry takes evidence on oath and has subpoenaed everyone's text and whatsapp messages, private diaries and so on. So a lot of the evidence is out there.

Plus Cummings has had the knife in for Johnson for ages, and kept all the receipts.

Today's hearing -- forget injecting bleach and shining lights inside your body, Johnson had a world-beating solution, it seems:

Even if the drug wasn't causing actual harm, people who used it were more likely to be unvaccinated, to delay treatment, and to resist proven treatments.

I can't wait to see similar analysis of drinking bleach and/or shoving a UV flashlight up your ass.

I haven't been following this so I can't give much of an opinion, but I stumbled across a page showing how COVID may have come from a lab:
US scientists proposed to make viruses with unique features of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan

This from an Email I got from The Intercept:
We also interviewed Emily Kopp, a reporter with the organization U.S. Right To Know, which has continued to secure documents related to the origins of Covid-19 through Freedom of Information Act requests. Her latest revelations are perhaps the most significant in the quest to identify the start of the pandemic.

For a long time, Dr. Richard Ebright, a prominent biologist who has been outspoken on the origins of Covid-19, has leaned toward believing a lab to be the most likely source of the pandemic, but left room open for a natural origin possibility. Following Kopp’s new report, the room for doubt is closed, he said. “There is no – zero – remaining room for reasonable doubt that EcoHealth and its associates caused the pandemic,” he said, referring to the new report as a “smoking gun.”
The newsletter which first appeared in my EMail is published here, and is roughly at the midway point. I've already quoted most of it just above.

Media Bias / Fact Check (mediabiasfactcheck.org profile on The Intercept
Their findings indicate a strong Liberal bias but is "mostly factual" with a high MBFC credibility rating. I'm guessing MBFC stands for Media Bias Fact Check.

While Rocke was set to collaborate with Baric, it’s not clear that she was central to this genetic engineering work.


Still, some scientists say this finding is akin to a “smoking gun” in favor of the lab hypothesis.
Not nearly as strong as the headline and tweets would have you believe.

‘Hypervaccinated’ man reportedly received 217 Covid jabs without side-effects-The Guardian

A “hypervaccinated” German man who reportedly received 217 Covid jabs in 29 months showed “no signs” of ever being infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 and had not reported any vaccine-related side-effects, according to a study published in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.

The 62-year-old, from Magdeburg, Germany said that he had the large number of vaccines for “private reasons”, the researchers from University of Erlangen-Nuremberg said.

The article does not give all of the details due to an ongoing criminal investigation, which sounds to me like he was using other people's ID to get a vaccine card for them.
