Neil Ferguson's worse case computer model predicted 550,000 Brits would die of COVID 19 if the nation was not locked down. Not one government minister or member of the SAGE group suggested Ferguson follow the scientific method by having his model peer reviewed and tested before a lockdown decision was made. They just went ahead and advised the PM to lock down the nation on the basis of Ferguson’s ‘scientific’ study.
As is their right, independent scientists and open source modellers repeatedly requested Ferguson hand over his computer code for peer review and testing. Ferguson declined to release his original code. After a 6 week delay, he finally released a heavily revised, highly modified derivative of the original code that had been upgraded over a period of 4 weeks by a Microsoft team.
Ferguson also admitted that his original Imperial College model of the COVID-19 disease was based on undocumented, 13-year-old computer code that was originally intended to be used for a feared influenza pandemic, rather than COVID 19.
When finally reviewed and tested, the code was discredited as a fraud, wildly inaccurate and so unworkable it could not be scientifically replicated. It was advised that all papers based on this code be retracted immediately.
As there was no historic lockdown precedence that could provide verifiable proof that such a draconian measure had ever been successful in controlling the spread of an infection, the only fall-back position the government had to justify their nationwide lockdown was Ferguson's now globally discredited 'scientific' computer model. In effect, this meant the government now had absolutely no just or legal cause to continue with the lockdown.
But they did. And since there was no proof that lockdown was based on historic precedence and/or provable science, they knowingly and fraudulently chose to continue an illegal lockdown, deliberately deceiving the population by forcing them to obey a ruling they implemented under false pretences …
To date, the government have failed to produce any valid reason, scientific or other, to justify their decision to lockdown the nation. A lockdown that has proved to be a deadly and unmitigated disaster.
For what they have done, and are continuing to do to this country and the people, those responsible for this debacle should be arrested and charged with serious fraud and crime
