Rejected petition Create Independent Expert Committee to investigate Covid-19 with public forum
The way pandemic is being covered leaves a lot of gaps for speculations and rumours. There is a lack of credible specialist opinions and public interaction.
More details
Covid-19 is the subject mostly favoured by politicians. UK public wants to hear independent opinion on all aspects of the pandemic from renowned UK specialists in the field of: biology, virology, immunology, medicine, science, psychology, law, economy. Its work must have a platform for a wider public discussion with an ongoing coverage of all findings.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you want the British public to hear 'independent opinion' about COVID-19, however it's not clear what you want the Government to do about this. Many scientists, legal experts and others already share their opinions with the public through online and print media on a daily basis.
