Regulate to ensure that the daily Covid statistics are independently audited. This will ensure that the figures issued and used to restrict freedoms are at least based on accurate and verifiable data.

More details

I, and others, have serious concerns about the accuracy of the daily Covid-19 statistics. I believe that these are being used to generate a climate of fear and given that context the population needs assurance that these figures are accurate. I am particularly concerned about the vaccination data contained within the daily Covid-19 statistics which does not appear to reconcile to the O.N.S weekly Vaccine Surveillance Report.
