The UK’s Covid inquiry has made the audacious – and utterly misleading – claim that an earlier lockdown could have saved thousands of lives. Here, Michael Simmons – economics editor at the Spectator and host of the Reality Check podcast – exposes the dodgy data being peddled by the ‘experts’, the groupthink that pushed us into lockdown, and the economic devastation that is still being felt today.  Read spiked: https://www.spiked-online.com/     Support spiked: https://www.spiked-online.com/support/  Learn more about your ad choices.
