Full session
The normalisation of the abnormal. Medical totalitarianism.
โโTest, tracing and isolating was the key to unlocking the door to allow relatives to visit vulnerable loved ones in care homes and hospital settings.โโ
Thoughts
Testimony at the Scottish COVID-19 inquiry from many bereaved relatives would suggest no amount of public โhealthโ compliance will be able to facilitate a visit in future. eg- Cathie Russellโs statement:
Here is what epidemiologist Dr.Ashley Croft had to say about โtest and protectโ when he gave evidence to the Scottish inquiry.

End
"Test, tracing and isolating was the key to unlocking the door to allow relatives to visit vulnerable loved ones in care homes and hospital settings.โโ No, this is holding residents captive and demanding a ransom from the relatives which will be compliance or you will be denied entry. "Test, tracing and isolating" is the exact opposite of "unlocking the door" it ensures the door will be locked and ruthlessly controlled until you yield to their demands. This that they call "infection control" is now being used as people control and like before it will not be contained to just nursing or care homes.
โWhen the next pandemic comesโฆโ. - There was no pandemic! There was no killer virus - the inhumane and catastrophic response was the killer. The testimonies heard at this Inquiry leave no doubt about that.
What โshieldingโ our elderly and vulnerable people meant in reality was isolating them, neglecting them, depriving them of basic needs and rights, depressing them. It was a calculated all round assault that ultimately killed thousands of Scots.
