Said he was told to stay silent on doomsday modeling..
A senior epidemiologist has publicly apologized to his daughter’s generation for failing to more strenuously oppose “morally wrong” COVID lockdown measures such as school closures that caused massive damage to children.
The stunning admission was made by Professor Mark Woolhouse, who revealed to Sky News that he was told to “correct” his views after he criticized doomsday COVID models.
The Edinburgh University academic said “plain common sense” was a “casualty” of lockdown and that his daughter’s generation “has been so badly served by mine.”
Decrying harmful lockdown measures such as closing schools as “morally wrong,” Woolhouse said he was told to stay silent when he questioned “implausible” graphs presented by Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA) Sir Patrick Vallance that said COVID cases would exponentially double.
“If this projection had been extended for another week we would be talking about one hundred thousand cases per day. Another month would have given us close to half a million. Per day. An exponential projection will give you any number you like if you run it for long enough,” said Woolhouse.
When Woolhouse, author of a new book called The Year the World Went Mad, officially lodged skepticism about the figures, he said his “objections did not go down well”.
“After a flurry of emails I was invited to ‘correct’ my comments,” he says.
...
Suggesting someone high in government was behind the demand, Woolhouse asserted, “it wasn’t my views that needed correcting, it was the projections.”
However, the situation played out for a second time when a new model in October 2020 predicted 4,000 deaths a day in the UK despite the “fact that the second wave was already beginning to slow.”
“The model that generated the 4,000 deaths a day figure was an outlier – all the other model projections gave much lower numbers,” writes Woolhouse, noting how the graph was broadcast to millions of TV viewers anyway.
Woolhouse also revealed how the government knew “people over 70 were 10,000 times more likely to die from COVID than those under 15,” but deliberately pursued policies that didn’t take this into account and harmed children.
Woolhouse’s comments would have normally made for a banner headline news story.
However, they serve as another reminder that the war in Ukraine has completely obliterated the harm caused by lockdown from the news, and with it the culpability of countless top technocrats who imposed it on the rest of us.
Whether anyone will face any kind of responsibility for the devastation wrought on the population, particularly children, appears to a diminishing possibility.
He knew better but went along with it. No different than the war criminal who was “just following orders”.

He’s sorry. That’s nice.
Now let’s hear from Nicola Sturgeon who actually implemented those harmful policies...she’ll be resigning when?
TOO LITTLE-—TOO LATE——TOO INSINCERE
Maybe I would believe they were sincere in their apology if they would simply just “Epstein” themselves in the middle of the night.
Indeed. Now that the scam is falling apart at the seams and beginning to sink like the Titanic, the goose-stepping foot soldiers that were instrumental to it’s existence are running for the exits and looking for life vests. I suspect it will become a stampede soon.
I say arrest them all. Every last one of them and let them linger in jail until we can put them all on trial, just like the Jan. 6 protesters.
Just trying to cash in now that being contary is popular.
“I say arrest them all. Every last one of them and let them linger in jail until we can put them all on trial, just like the Jan. 6 protesters.”
Couldn’t agree more.
I don’t think that will save him from the gallows.
Sure. Always easy to apologizes after the fact.
These idiots aren’t sorry at all.
They’re just trying to change these kids minds.
Evil bastards.
“No different than the war criminal who was “just following orders”.”
True, but we still are going to need “insiders” like him if we are ever going to get accountability for the real puppet masters behind this whole thing.
Sometimes you have to give immunity to a hitman to get the mob boss. We don’t have to like it, but sometimes we have to do it.
“Sometimes you have to give immunity to a hitman to get the mob boss. We don’t have to like it, but sometimes we have to do it.”
That’s assuming those who have the power WANT to get to the boss.
Two years too late.
