Steve Baker: Ministers must never again be free to impose crippling restrictions without proper scrutiny
A new Public Health Act would prevent ministers imposing job-destroying restrictions without warning or scrutiny
Just like Coronavirus itself, lockdowns and restrictions cause immense damage. Food insecurity has more than doubled since the start of the pandemic, half of us have put on weight, one in three people are drinking more, children’s educational prospects have been damaged, perhaps irrevocably, and many of the limited company directors, freelancers and the self-employed who were excluded from Government support have suffered untold harm. ...

"We, as professionals from around the UK, have grave concerns regarding Government policies put in place in response to Covid-19. In particular, these policies adversely affect core principles on which our democracy depends.
We ask, as a matter of urgency, that the Government and all opposition MPs take appropriate actions to restore the UK to a true democracy, as a minimum:
(i) The Rule of Law & Separation of Powers.
Parliamentary Debate. Reinstate the lawful role of Parliament to represent its constituents as elected representatives of the people by ensuring that the Corona Virus Act 2020 is repealed or, as a minimum, receives a monthly review by Parliament.
(ii) Fundamental Human Rights and individual autonomy.
Freedom to protest. Ensure a proportionate policing approach for pro-rights movements and critics of Government policy. Decriminalise protests and prevent police violence.
Freedom of speech. Reverse instructions of censorship to the broadcast media and online platforms to allow for an independent media to report on this topic, free from Government interference.
Autonomy of decisions. Prevent tactics of coercion or discrimination by public or private entities that seek to disproportionately, unlawfully or unnecessarily impose upon the personal freedoms of UK citizens.
(iii) Openness and accountability in decisions, conflicts and the data.
Conflicts of Interest. Reconsider the sphere of influence of those members of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) that have a material conflict of interest in the Covid-19 solutions being proposed.
Conflicts of Interest. Ensure a proper procurement process is followed for all contract negotiation and issuing by Government departments.
Openness and Accountability. Complete proper informed risk assessments for all decisions being made to assess the proportionality and necessity of the measures and the impending harms likely to occur. Provide all risk assessments to Parliament in a timely manner for decisions to be made.
Democracy is not ‘optional’. The Government must now make a firm commitment to democracy and confirm that these powers will never again be used without proper legal authority, process or regular ratification by Parliament.

The PCR test at 35 cycle thresholds or over does not detect a Covid19 case. It detects inactive SARSCoV2 (if not any SARS or coronavirus) viral fragments, up to two months old. If there are symptoms, they could simply be symptoms of any influenza, common cold, rhinovirus, or any other respiratory disease. The same goes for deaths counted within say 28 days of a positive PCR test at over 35 cycle thresholds. SAGE minutes in comments below indicate live viral load which is high enough for transmission is only found at 24 cycle thresholds or under.
"A recent study in the journal Cancer Discovery found that inhalation of harmful microbes can contribute to advanced stage lung cancer in adults. Long-term use of face masks may help breed these dangerous pathogens.
Microbiologists agree that frequent mask wearing creates a moist environment in which microbes are allowed to grow and proliferate before entering the lungs. Those foreign microbes then travel down the trachea and into two tubes called the bronchi until they reach small air sacks covered in blood vessels called alveoli."

How face masks increase Covid19 risks: Nebulization may "result in viral particles lingering longer and traveling farther in airspace from a masked person than exhaled respiratory droplets falling close to the body from the orifices of an unmasked person."

‼️BRITISH POLICE BULLYING THE PUBLIC FOR BEING MASK EXEMPT‼️
UK government science is wrong. What do they pay SAGE for? The dangerous SARSCoV2 spread is by fine aerosols, NOT droplets! WRONG: "The reason for using face coverings Coronavirus (COVID-19) usually spreads by droplets from coughs, sneezes and speaking."

GUIDANCE is not LAW
"Police forces should be enforcing law, not the guidance
Ambiguity over the boundary between law & guidance creates important risks.
First, there is a risk that the police act beyond their powers and interfere unlawfully with people’s liberty.
They have powers to enforce the law and maintain public order, but they are not empowered to enforce the government’s guidance where it is more demanding than the law. If police forces do act beyond their powers, they are vulnerable to judicial review (or, civil claims). Any overreach also makes it more likely that the regulations themselves will be challenged in court – there is some uncertainty as to whether the restrictions are lawful.
The second risk is that law-abiding people will see police forces and the government using mandatory language to communicate the guidance and be deterred from lawful, harmless excursions for which they have good reasons."

The elephant in the room of the push for vaccine passports? Natural immunity. Let's just say, to simplify, that natural immunity is the best form of immunity, therefore the best form of "protecting others" from being infected, if that is to be the logic, which of course is wrong. It's wrong because it is not our remit to protect others from something only a combination of their immune system & their personal judgement & lifestyle & access to treatments can protect them from. This protecting others places the ball on the wrong court, & wrong side of it. However, if we decide to entertain the preposterous notion of protecting others from something only they can protect themselves from, then hands down the best way to do this is to have been exposed to SARSCoV2 ourselves so our immune system is already equipped to limit viral load. As Mike Yeadon pointed out "For BOTH flu & covid19, risks of death rise steeply with age & underlying illness.
The line is steeper with covid19 than with flu. The effect of this is as age falls, the risks from covid falls faster than the risks from flu" If you are in age category that has high risks of severe Covid19, have underlying morbidities, are not taking vitamin D & zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids or daily vegetables & fruit then perhaps you should address those aspects before demanding others inject! And even if there was a virus that was so dangerous to warrant such a preposterous measure as immunity passports for public life [there is currently no such virus except perhaps Ebola], the best one of these passports would be, hands down, a natural immunity passport. And guess how we would be able to tell if someone has natural immunity? No not antibody tests, as antibodies recede in months, but T-cell tests. Wonder why you never heard of them? Maybe because vaccine passports are NOT about protecting others after all..

COVID-19: How a new blood test could help speed up vaccine development
Speaking to Medical News Today, Dr. James Hindley explains why the blood test he is developing may help in the fight against COVID-19.
Lateral flow tests for access to public venues: Let me explain to those who don't get it what this is all about. No it's NOT about keeping others safe, that is a preposterous notion with no immunological basis. It is about TESTING ASYMPTOMATICS TO RAMP UP THE FALSE POSITIVES & INDUCE A PSEUDOEPIDEMIC of false positives. Yes, you got it, it is about..wait for it..wait for it...BAYES THEOREM! https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1336912517642260480?s=19 Which of course Matt Hancock, (and Bill Gates) know very well.

#BayesTheorem in simple terms: when medical mass testing includes asymptomatics & the disease affects a minority of the population, a very small margin of error in the testing process will mathematically result in the false positives being many times more…
