The Questions the Covid enquiry isn't asking asking-TNT's Lembit Opik asks me.
Questions they won't answer.
Why do we need to keep saying the same thing over and over again? Is it because a) I’m a teacher b) no one has accepted responsibility for the harms c) if we don’t they will do it again d) they haven’t admitted they were wrong e) some people still don’t see

“If you keep children out of school, every single one of the children you keep out of school is disadvantaged” Feb 2021 Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer, England.
“It’s nothing to do with the children, it was to keep their parents at home” N.Ireland Chief Medical Officer to Paul Frew MLA, why we closed schools. Jan 9
“What is frightening is that there was very little consideration given to the disadvantage that pupils would face from school closures,” he said. In August 2022 Robert Halfon, chairman of the House of Commons education select committee, described closing schools as “the biggest and most catastrophic mistake the Government made during Covid”.
“They aren’t taking it home and then transferring it to the community. These kids have very little capacity to infect household members” according to epidemiologist Shamez Ladhani, of Public Health England July 2021
(some) “ministers were concerned about the 'frightening' lack of evidence on the knock-on effect of Covid restrictions”
“Modelers Were ‘Astronomically Wrong’ in COVID-19 Predictions, Says leading epidemiologist, Professor Ioannidis—and the World Is Paying the Price” (July 2020)
No one wants to ask questions because the answers will prove they messed up right from the starting block… we reach the end point when silly people stop asking silly questions and listen to intelligent people who already know the answers… it just that silly people are running everything … including the government … social platforms the WHO…CDC FDA..and the media circus…
Closures, yes disadvantaged kids, but so too did the schools that did not close but required masks. Elementary schools in Japan did not close, for the most part, however, for 4 full school years, kids here, including my own, we forced to wear masks, for over 3 of those and then to try to learn from teachers that continued wearing them for the rest of the fourth school years even after the recommendation to do so ended. The 5th school year since the panic began has just begun here and for the first time my 5th grader can finally hear their native language spoken clearly. However, this comes 1 and 1/2 years after they began having difficulties with listening comprehension and almost a year after they first exhibited pronunciation problems.
Even schools that did not close found ways to deny their charges a proper education.
