Covid: UK start to pandemic worst public health failure ever, MPs say
BBC News says the UK’s failure to do more to stop Covid spreading early in the pandemic was one of the worst ever public health failures, a report by MPs says.
The government approach – backed by its scientists – was to try to manage the situation and in effect achieve herd immunity by infection, it said.
This led to a delay in introducing the first lockdown, costing lives.
But the report by the cross-party group said there had been successes too – in particular the vaccination programme.
