It took less time to develop Covid Vaccines than it does to start the investigation
The long-awaited “Covid vaccine inquiry” has been postponed for mysterious reasons.
The hearings have been postponed to occur ‘after the general election.’
The Covid inquiry will not start hearing evidence about the development of vaccines and other drugs this summer, as originally planned. Witness hearings will be postponed until a later date, likely to be after the next general election.
Interestingly, it took roughly eleven months to develop, test, and approve COVID-19 vaccines. The UK’s own AstraZeneca vaccine development started in February 2020, and the MHRA approved it in December 2020. However, it will take longer than that even to begin the UK Covid vaccine investigation.
When there is a will, there is a way. Here, we are witnessing the opposite: the UK’s powers-to-be want to postpone the COVID vaccine investigation for as long as possible and, most importantly for them, until after the next election.
The investigation into vaccines was meant to look in detail at the rollout of jabs across the UK, including the setting up of the UK vaccines taskforce and the role of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
It will also cover concerns around vaccine safety, including any suggested link between the jabs and heart issues, and whether reforms are needed to the scheme which is meant to pay out if an individual's health is damaged after taking the jabs.
No timing has been given for the postponed hearings, with further details promised "in the next few weeks".
It is thought the decision is likely to push that part of the inquiry until after the next general election, which has to take place before 28 January 2025.
Why the connection to the ‘general election’? Is that related to the incumbents’ desire to keep their elected positions, which could be threatened by the ‘vaccine inquiry’? Are there hopes that COVID vaccine skeptics like Andrew Bridgen will lose their districts?
Are they hoping the general public will forget “Covid vaccines” by then?
Will there ever be an honest official “Covid inquiry”?
