Don ’t blame scientists for what went wrong with Covid – ministers were the ones calling the shots | Devi Sridhar
As the long-awaited UK inquiry kicks off, it ’s the people in power who should be under the spotlight, not the experts who did their best to advise themAs the Covid inquiry kicks off oral hearings today, we will once again debate what exactly happened in 2020 and 2021, and who is ultimately responsible for the decisions made. The government has already started to close in on scientists and point the finger at them for the poor response in the early stages of the pandemic. The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has said it was a mistake to “empower scientists” and the BMJ pointed to the former health secretary Matt Hancockm...

The Observer view on the Covid inquiry: why was the science ignored? | Observer editorial

Within weeks of the Sars-CoV-2 virus emerging, researchers had sequenced every one of its genes and had pinpointed the cells through which Covid-19 enters the body.
