Scottish Covid Inquiry lawyer demands answers over expert

Scotland’s Herald Newspaper reports

The lawyer representing families in Scotland’s Covid inquiry has demanded answers about the appointment of an expert witness who touted widely debunked vaccine claims and was described as “unconvincing” by a High Court judge.

Dr Ashley Croft will present a “scene setting” report to the delayed inquiry next week in which he asserts that it “remains unclear if Covid vaccinations resulted in fewer deaths.”

Research from the World Health Organisation (WHO) in November 2021 showed more than 27,000 deaths in Scotland had been saved by Covid vaccinations at that date.
