UK’s early Covid response was a failure, report says – BBC News
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’s 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 which cost lives.
But the report said there had been successes too – in particular the vaccination programme, which was described as “one of the most effective initiatives in UK history”.

Tech Now’s Paul Carter finds out how technology powering advanced prosthetics is also helping train humanoid robots.
The Ability Hand is a special piece of prosthetics technology, with two ambitions running through the same piece of hardware.
One is to give somebody their grip back. The other is to take what that person’s hand already knows – and teach it to a machine.

AI can always be controlled, the president of encrypted messaging app Signal has told the BBC.
Meredith Whittaker said fears that AI could become conscious and take over were “not anchored in science and evidence”, warning instead about the dangers of using the technology in military decision-making.
The former Google employee said AI could “supercharge mistakes” and reflected on her role in opposing the company’s involvement in a US military drone surveillance project.
Speaking to the BBC Global Women, Whittaker also questioned who gets to shape the future of AI, criticised the concentration of power in Silicon Valley and explained why Signal would leave a country rather than compromise its users’ privacy.

Developer Moonshot is conducting an internal review after researchers were able to persuade two of its popular Kimi models to tell them how to make biological weapons and carry out assassinations.
Mindgard, which tests the security of AI systems, told the BBC it discovered in July that Kimi K2.6 and K3 Swarm could evade safety limits put in place by developers.
It arose during a process called “jailbreaking”, where researchers use a series of complex instructions to see if AI tools ignore guardrails – which Mindgard said should have stopped Kimi from discussing concerning topics.
Moonshot told the BBC it welcomed third-party input “as a key pillar for building better and safer AI”.

Early response?
F*ck off BBC.
Bbc wrote an article trying to discredit Dr Ashley Crofts epidemiology report for the Scottish covid inquiry.
BBC have blood on their hands for pushing non-scientific government BULLSHIT throughout the pandemic and even now.
Early response my arsefluff.
Bbc bosses, "journalists", reporters and show hosts should be publicly flogged and imprisoned for their role in maintaining the governments FALSE narrative and deliberate fear mongering.

If they'd had just started using ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin and stop relying solely on a questionable vaccine . You could have saved thousands. The pandemic would have been over last year. I think they are more interested in controlling than saving lives.

It's easy to be wise after the fact but the whole world was at sixes and sevens, from Brazil to the USA, from France to China. We not only come up with two vaccines, drew in retired health workers and armed services, whilst fighting to keep on track the EU, and keep the country on track with people off the dole. Talk about a society that must have some one to blame,~ BBC you are unfair whoever is in office could not keep all these balls in the air, it's high time some bias media repented and backed the Government in times of trouble not que up to back stab it.

No sh*t. Is this seriously news now? At the peek, deaths were proportionally more than in the USA. I sincerely hope that the government will be investigated for criminal negligence.

Really? Who would've ever thought that having a leader wanting to be the "superman of capitalism" by keeping everything open, allowing flights in from hot spots all over the world until July that year, confining COVID testing to symptomatic patients in hospitals only for the first few months of the pandemic, allowing elderly patients to be discharged from hospital back into care homes without a negative swab, and generally having a herd immunity mentality thus allowing it to spread through the population killing thousands would have been deemed a failure. I'm honestly so shocked 🙄

Lockdowns haven’t done any good what so ever. I would imagine if Covid 19 was never mentioned in the news everyone would of just thought they had the flu.

Propaganda to get you to accept what they're doing and worse in the future. There was a massive overreaction, there should have been no lockdown at all.

And where was the investigative journalism of the BBC throughout this time? Oh yes, they only ever just reported on their narrative of the story. They didn't trouble themselves to look at the published data from the around the western world and as the most basic of questions when they had the exclusive opportunity to do so. They've failed our nation more than the so called experts have.

so there way to fix this is by locking us down again that didnt work the NHS is also to blame and is still to blame the NHS doesnt need more money they have enough but waste it in a very big way giving them self thousands of pound money that could have saved lives but na the NHS will spend this money and letting thousands in people should now sue the gorvnment its not like they can deny murdering thousands mat hancock should be serving a life sentance for his crimes against humanety and so should boris who is not far behind biden when it comes to having a back bone and putting his country first the future with biden and boris is dim both none leaders both follow rules made by the very rich and instead of doing the right thing they have sold us out for the marxist take over called the great reset..
