🚨United Kingdom 🇬🇧: The “lockdown” “harmed a generation” declared Dr Saily Davis, former Chief Scientific Adviser of the UK Department of Health from 2004 to 2016, during a session of the public inquiry into how the government managed the fight to the pandemic.
She admitted that “economic and social” factors were not fully considered and that during the pandemic, (she now believes) the government would have benefited from assessing the broader impact of measures and listening to people like economic experts, not just scientists. .
“Not only with biomedical advice, but also with the impact on the economy, on the social cohesion of our community and on education. And so we needed, as a nation, a second group advising on all of this.”
