Scientists, MPs Ask "Where Is Evidence Of 70% More Contagious Mutant COVID?"

As Summit News' Steve Watson details, as London and the entire South East of the UK was plunged into a fresh lockdown over the weekend, scores of countries have banned all travel to and from the UK, but scientists there are demanding to see any evidence that there is a 70% more contagious mutant strain of COVID, having not been shown anything by the government.

The Daily Mail reports that Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University's Nuffield Department of Primary Care, has expressed scepticism over the 70 per cent figure.

"I would want to have very clear evidence rather than 'we think it's more transmissible' so we can see if it is or not," Heneghan continued.

Professor Heneghan emphasised that if this strain really is that much more contagious "We should be locking down the whole country".

The data the government has on the 'new strain' off COVID comes from analysis by advisory body The New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group.

Who were already rebelling against the tier 3 lockdown, have called for all the scientific evidence the government has to be made public.

"Let's see the evidence then, let's have Parliament back and show us and convince us, come clean," he urged, adding "I want Parliament to be recalled so we can scrutinise properly in a democracy decisions that are being made which affect our economy radically and our liberty."
