Hall of Shame: A worldwide list of those who pushed for covid “lockdowns”
By Rhoda Wilson on February 22, 2024
Trust the Evidence has started a list of people and institutions who pushed the harmful and destructive idea that you could “suppress” or “eradicate” SARS-CoV-2 using social measures, for example, “lockdowns.”
“Those listed below showed crass ignorance of respiratory viral epidemiology, and they are likely to approach other topics with the same facile attitude in the future,” Dr. Tom Jefferson and Professor Carl Heneghan said.
“Some of them have since apologised, but most of them are carrying on, pretending nothing happened.”
‘You don’t copy the losers’; A provisional list of institutions and individuals who pushed “zero covid”
By Dr. Tom Jefferson and Professor Carl Heneghan
A partial list of institutions and individuals who pushed the pernicious idea that you could “suppress” or “eradicate” SARS-CoV-2 with social measures follows.
Some of them have since apologised, but most of them are carrying on, pretending nothing happened, all is sweetness and light, the birds are singing in the trees, pigs are flying, and hopefully, they think we will all forget what they instigated.
Listing on this post is not dictated by the fact that some of the names launched personal attacks on us; we are not the Count of Monte Cristo out for revenge.
We include the names because, despite their impressive credentials (in some cases), it was quite clear to us by 8 April 2020, that “zero covid” was pie in the sky – poisoned pie. You cannot suppress an endemic respiratory virus, at least not until you have understood its ecology and routes of transmission. Neither of these boxes has been ticked.

The acceptance or pushing of this folly had two catastrophic consequences.
First, it gave backing to restrictions.
Second, some or most created a witch hunt climate in which few people felt like knuckling down and studying what was going on, thus missing the golden opportunities the situation presented to solve some of the riddles.
Third, those listed below showed crass ignorance of respiratory viral epidemiology and they are likely to approach other topics with the same facile attitude in the future: small hands, long tongue. So here we go in no particular order (with thanks to the source in brackets):
- Deborah Birx from minute 7.25
- The Australian government (Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews).
- Devi Sridhar and the Scottish government
- Zero Covid (Stéphane Bilodeau, Dr. Malgorzata Gasperowicz, Karl Parkinson) Dr. Irfan Dhalla
- Dr. Andrew Morris, author of the immortal quote: “You’re not going to be a winner if you follow the losers. You go and try and replicate, or at least figure out, what the winners do. And right now, we’re pursuing a losing strategy.”
- Dr. Samir Sinha
- Bill Gates
- Attendees of the conference for Zero Covid. Supporters of Covid Action UK, formerly known as Zero Covid UK.
