Interactive timeline tracking articles downplaying Covid and increasing number of deaths has been created

"OMG this is brilliant: a compilation of statements from people like Carl Heneghan, Sunetra Gupta, Mike Yeadon, & Julia Hartley-Brewer against the actual reality!"

A doctor who quit in protest at Dominic Cummings’ controversial trip to Durham has created a timeline that appears to link Covid denialism with reported claims in the media by a small number of individuals against the actual reality of the disease.

At the time of his resignation he said: “I was in the third day of quite a hard set of intensive care unit shifts,” when he recalled hearing about Cummings’ journey.

“We had lost a couple of patients that weekend and a number had got better.

“The first time I wasn’t that perturbed, then it emerged there were multiple trips and that was quite outrageous, it was breaching lockdown when symptomatic and my initial reaction was outrage.

“Considering the protocols, dozens of extra shifts being worked across the health service, this huge amounts of human effort and the colleagues we have lost – I just felt that it was unacceptable and insulting at the time.”

All royalties from a book he wrote about his Covid-19 experiences, called ‘Duty of Care’ were to go charity to support NHS workers.

Debunk

Now he has created an interactive timeline that shows the claims in the media by a small cabal of journalists downplaying the virus and the increasing number of deaths from the disease.

Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr shared the map and Tweeted: “This is absolutely brilliant. A timeline of ‘Wrong Covid’: the scientists, politicians & pundits sanctioned & enabled by mainstream media outlets whose minimising of the virus is a large part of why we are where we are.”

Now updated with Yeadons, Pearsons and Atlases:

This is a thing of beauty, its just a shame you have to then think how serious it actually is. I would really like to get inside all their heads to find out exactly what is motivating them. I am beginning to think their is a sinister reason behind it all.

You have to wonder at the whole denialist circus

They've been wrong – flatly, boringly wrong – for months

Why do people still listen? https://t.co/fIeGJTmPqT

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
