The Daily Sceptic today leads with an analysis of "our" Government's handling of the Covid situation which strikes at the very heart of our trust in our institutions.
"Looking at the way Covid has been handled by the Government I ask whether they have played fair or whether they have used gamesmanship to achieve their goals and whether the actual rules themselves were clean"
If we find that someone has not played fair with us then we are entitled to take action (a) for redress and (b) to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
Do the same rules apply to governments? The answer must be yes, even if the practicalities are more complicated. I predict more interesting times still to come.
Another startling example of gamesmanship muddying of the waters is taken apart by another writer for the Daily Sceptic here.
“seemed to show for the month in question ... that people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s were more likely to test positive for Covid if they had been vaccinated than if they hadn’t”
"Except the chart didn’t ‘seem’ to show that; it did show that"
Where lives are at stake, we must ensure that the truth be respected. Given that all of our institutions have failed consistently to uphold the truth, who will now take up the cause if not "we the people"?
