In November 2020 the Lord mentioned was speaking in parliament (house of lords) TLDR: A critic of the second lockdown policy. To be fair I put it here so any later visitors can see that this supports the idea that the video I encountered could have simply been hoax to discredit people early on. Or public positions are carefully set up to misdirect? Who knows.
My Lords, I am in favour of the amendment moved by the noble Lord, Lord Robathan. I seriously question why it is necessary to have a nationwide lockdown .... The fear and hysteria were hyped up by many in the media. Why, .... was there not a cost-benefit and risk analysis?
I dread the long-term repercussions of the huge debt that will have to be repaid, predominantly by the younger generation. What will this lockdown cost? We seem to be reacting purely to bad news. In most cases, except long Covid, the recovery period is a matter of a week. I say this having had Covid. Apart from a dry cough for a few days, I recovered in no time at all. My 93-year-old mother-in-law has just recovered from Covid within two weeks. ...
What evidence does the Government have that the NHS cannot cope? The Government are using a sledgehammer to crack a nut and allowing the tail to wag the dog.
