The WHO investigation was compromised, this from the British Medical Journal. You can't believe a word the Chinese say. https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n2023 Also the WHO is a joke and a dangerous one at that, with a confirmed Marxist as its current leader. For instance they've just appointed North Korea to their Executive Board. You can't make this **** up. https://unwatch.org/north-korea-wins-leading-role-at-world-health-organization/

Or, in other words, don’t vote the way you think they should. Unless you are including yourself in that generalisation of course. Shouldn’t have had a referendum in 1975 or ones for Scottish Independence?
Im against referendums too on big changes. I like to think I’m fairly well read on things and frankly I have no real idea about economic policy or many other major things that could go right or wrong. On referendums, we are risking the future of a country on the publics feelings or best guesses. I’d much rather people who’s job it is to work things out do the policy, as they have much more time and skill to analyse things.
Yes, successive governments have done so well handling things, haven’t they? Not to mention analysts have diverging opinions and solutions so how do you know which is the right one?
Good input that. I mean, I would rather politicians listened to more advice on more things than politicise everything. And I mean from a variety of sources and not just certain sections.
Just a thought as a cynic , it’s pretty coincidental that the Govt had already ‘prepared ‘ a what if it happens ‘plan’ not too long before after all these years? . Did they know this was likely , coming ? Based on intelligence maybe . Just maybe they knew someone was tinkering ??
I do think this isn't talked about enough. It was established quite early on that our government had been pretty negligent in their preparations for a pandemic which would inevitably happen at some point. We seem to spend very little time as a country talking about this and the other mistakes that actually happened, and too much time on politicised debates about vaccines and lockdowns. I sort of worry that we're maybe even less prepared for the next one than we were for Covid, as very few lessons seem to have been learned and a lot of people seem to have become angry about the wrong things.
Many countries have finished their review of covid as today we start ours which is scheduled to take 3 years and cost 100 million.
