Dominic Cummings today is giving evidence to a Commons committee. (He has been holding up a chart, like he’s Benjamin Netanyahu.) The media are fawningly saying he has “agreed” to give evidence. It used to be the case that the Commons could compel witnesses, but clearly nobody compels Dominic Cummings, and if he chooses to do something we must all thank him.
The Guardian reports him as saying “The EU system has blown up over vaccines” and “That shows what happens when you have an anti-science bureaucracy like the one in Brussels.”
Reading insane rubbish like that kinda detracts from the FACT that the proportion of reported deaths with Covid-19 per 1 million population have been far lower in the EU than in Britain. 24 out of 27 EU countries have had lower proportions than Britain.
Which multinationals are behing the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, by the way, the Brit poshboy equivalent of DARPA? Is it basically Google and Apple?
