David Cameron’s austerity blamed for NHS’s ‘disastrous’ Covid response

British Medical Association’s Professor Philip Banfield says former PM's government ‘ground down and pulled apart public health systems’

David Cameron’s programme of austerity is to blame for the NHS’s “disastrous” failures during the pandemic, the British Medical Association’s (BMA) chairman has claimed ahead of the former prime minister’s appearance at the Covid Inquiry.
Professor Philip Banfield accused Mr Cameron of having “ground down and pulled apart public health systems” with cuts that meant the health service “didn’t stand a fighting chance” in a blog for the BMA.

The cognitive dissonance where tradesman rightly point out that if you buy cheap you buy twice referring to cheap labour to perform specialist tasks somehow how forget that when it comes to healthcare and think that it doesn't need investment and can be done on the cheap.

It was a response to your statement. Here it is in full.

And having the jab wasnt risk free as it had its own health problems, some of those resulting in death.

Same response,

Like all jabs, yes.

Same response,

So why did you leave the bit about the deaths out. Couldn't be the jabs not as safe as other tried and trusted vaccinations could it.

So why did you leave the bit about the deaths out

Because it isn't relevant. I added it back in and it's the same answer.

I think people have a tendency to look at extremely complicated and nuanced issues and reduce it down to some simple explanation.

*Excess deaths post-Covid are due to the precautions we took.
*Obesity is due to prevalence of takeaway apps / personal agency.
*It's side-effects from the vaccines

Etc, etc

All of these things might be partially or completely true or untrue but it's just one data point in a whole array of conditions which is setting the stage.

If we look at our diets as an example, you have to consider the choices people make in terms of the content of their ingredients... are they choosing some processed thing in a box, over whole ingredients like lean protein, vegetables and salad?

Why are they doing that, is it cost, is it convenience, is it lack of education or understanding, lack of ability to turn a potato into some chips rather than buy some frozen potato powder reformed into a wrinkly chip shape?

Likely all of these things, right?

Plus about 100 other reasons like sedentary work lives, over-working, exercise choices, mental health, etc etc.

I do think the government has to do more to tackle lifestyle choices and the content of what we're being fed by food manufacturers.
