Scottish COVID-19 inquiry Impact hearing| Health and social care|17 May 2024 (afternoon session)

NHS GP Gail Cunningham who reveals serious adverse mental health impacts in young people due to lockdown and concerns around COVID vaccines.

Introduction

Todays session hears from Western Isles GP Dr Gail Cunningham.

Testimony

Highlights below where Dr.Cunningham cites grave concern over the lockdown impacts on the mental health of young people, especially in relation to school closures.

Adverse impacts which are still ongoing in 2024.

‘‘Alot of the youngsters i thin it was the effects of the lockdown..not being able to socialise…school disrupted..university disrupted.’’

• Suicidal ideation in young people increased by >300% during the lockdown.

'Prior to the pandemic i would maybe see somebody expressing suicidal ideas once per month…During the pandemic that had increased DRAMATICALLY…sometimes every week somebody said that they were feeling suicidial, often they were young, in their teens or early 20’s.’’

‘‘The levels of mental health issues i believe are at least in part due to the prolonged and repeated lockdowns.’

Safe and effective?

In her final remarks to the inquiry Dr.Cunningham cites real concern around COVID mRNA vaccine safety and of a possible relationship with excess deaths. Lord Brailsford is equally as concerned with excess deaths and has a team now looking into this.

‘‘A couple of things i am VERY interested in are excess death rates…why we should have excess death rates post pandemic.’’

‘‘The other thing i am also VERY interested is the vaccines and the vaccine injury we know that happens with any vaccine.’’

‘‘It would be helpful to be clear about what the risks are and bare that in mind if we are producing any more mRNA vaccines….Just to be very very clear of the safety profile of the ones we are using at this time.’’

In her statement Dr.Cunningham makes it clearer she and other practitioners ARE seeing people with SERIOUS COVID ‘vaccine’ injuiry.

Long COVID

Towards the end of her statement Dr Cunningham does not believe the Island needs a Long COVID service and criticises the lockdown approach.

I could find no mainstream media reports of this important testimony.
