Hancock Admits Do Not Resuscitate Orders Were Wrongly Applied During Covid as He Calls on Lockdown Defenders to “Unite” Against Sceptics
Matt Hancock has admitted “do not resuscitate orders” were “wrongly applied” during Covid and should be “reviewed” – but defended lockdown and said its supporters need to unite to defeat sceptics. The Telegraph has the story.
The former Health Secretary told the Covid Inquiry the practice [of DNRs] had been used inappropriately during the crisis, denying people access to potentially life-saving treatment.
He also suggested the U.K. should lock down faster in the event of a future pandemic, despite concerns over the impact of the “medieval” measures.
“Do not resuscitate” (DNR) orders, which instruct doctors not to attempt CPR if a patient’s heart or breathing stops, are generally only supposed to be drawn up with the clear agreement of the person in question.
But concerns were raised during the crisis that blanket DNRs had been imposed on vulnerable people without their consent.
Giving evidence to the Covid Inquiry on Friday, Mr. Hancock said it was “obvious” the orders had been “wrongly applied” in some circumstances and backed an investigation into their use during the pandemic.
The former Health Secretary was asked whether he would support a “systemic review” of all DNR notices put in place in early 2020.
He replied: “I certainly think a review like that should be looked at because it’s obvious that there were cases when DNR notices were wrongly applied. And I think the issue of consent is so important here.” …
Critics have raised questions about whether the benefits of lockdowns outweighed the impact on economic growth, children’s education and people’s mental health.
But Mr. Hancock suggested the U.K. should act even faster in the event of a future pandemic, telling the inquiry: “There needs to be a national debate, in my view, about how we respond immediately.”
He said: “The absolute number one thing that we can do to avoid this sort of trauma for NHS staff is to bring in lockdown measures early in response to a pandemic-level pathogen.
“And I think that those who understand the consequence of waiting before bringing in measures that are going to be necessary need to unite to win that argument.
“There are still people making the argument that lockdown wasn’t necessary, or in future we should try to do without it.
“I think that is false, wrong and dangerous, and the case needs to continue to be made so that should a pandemic-potential pathogen [hit us], which could happen at any time, we’re ready.”

Attempting to defend his position, no doubt. He’ll find there are many strong critics, after all. Anyway, he was never competent to do that job.
He was never competent…
He did an excellent job – exactly what he was employed to do. “Covid” was a roaring success – billions “vaccinated”, freedoms removed with little protest, everyone involved got away with it.
Quite correct ToF.
Don’t forget that he also trashed the economy – with the enthusiastic support of Her Majesty’s “Loyal Opposition” who shrieked for “Sooner, Harsher, Longer!”
Uniparty at its finest!
This little fascist should long ago have been committed and expunged from existence., Disgusting turd of a non-man.
It’s very easy to imagine him in an SS uniform, just following orders
Yes, just following orders, just like the nurses, doctors and others who stuck needles in arms without obtaining valid voluntary informed consent…
See: Just ‘following orders’? Who in the medical profession stood firm against the moral disintegration?
And the good and virtuous citizens who turned against those who refused to kneel and obey, who kept the sovereignty of our own bodies and dignity in refusing to capitulate and give way to tyrants. I learned from this period how base and cowardly are most humans, who will viciously turn on their neighbour under the instruction of creatures like Hancock
Yes, in ‘Allo, Allo’. He should take the part of Herr Otto Flick.
Oh go on, tell us what you really think.
👍
So were the orders “wrongly applied”, in which case the doctors and nurses who applied them can and should be charged with murder?
Or were the orders indeed unnecessary or intentionally ambiguous, in which case this individual is a mass murderer and should be treated accordingly.
This does not let the individual doctors and nurses off the hook of course, as “just following orders” is not an excuse.
Surely responsibility ultimately rests with the actual perpetrator? The individual who administered the poison.
Ethical retreat of medical “professionals”
Either the well named Hancock cannot read or he believes that everyone else is so stupid that they cannot read. ‘What is probably right is that just as with SARS there’s probably much stricter guidelines in mainland China for a case to be considered positive. So the 20,000 cases in China is probably only the severe cases; the folks that actually went to the hospital and got tested. The Chinese healthcare system is very overwhelmed with all the tests going through. So my thinking is this is actually not as severe a disease as is being suggested. The fatality rate is probably only 0.8%-1%. There’s a vast underreporting of cases in China. Compared to Sars and Mers we are talking about a coronavirus that has a mortality rate of 8 to 10 times less deadly to Sars to Mers. So a correct comparison is not Sars or Mers but a severe cold. Basically this is a severe form of the cold.’ Prof. John Nicholls Hong Kong Univ. 06 Feb. 2020 ‘In recent careful experimental work, manual transmission in a group playing poker was prevented by using splints or large plastic collars; yet rhinovirus infection was freely transmitted, so the airborne… Read more »
It won’t be closed down until it’s confirmed that no politicians or civil servants did anything wrong
Whut? Not even Boris?

Good news in a way, I hope. In order to ‘unite’ against the sceptics, the lockdowners will have to provide some evidence and challenge ours. Discussing it will help bring it into the open. Interesting that he raised this at the Inquiry (or was it just a press release afterwards?); I assume the Inquiry questioned what pro-lockdown evidence he had? Nah, thought not.
As for the DNRs: the word evil springs to mind. Surely the Inquiry must question what the results of those were?
Past experience suggests that “uniting against the sceptics” means shouting that there’s a consensus. No evidence needed for that.
I can’t find the video but there was a meeting with Hancock where a heckler was trying to get an answer as to who was patient zero, to which Mat had no answer.

This man should be in prison
“Matthew Stanley Hancock, you have been found guilty of the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence.
You are an habitual criminal, who accepts deaths in the electorate as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner.
We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences.
The sentence of this court is that you will be taken from here to the place from whence you came and there be kept in close confinement until Friday, and upon that day that you be taken to the place of execution and there hanged by the neck until you are dead.
And may God show no mercy upon your soul.”
Absolutely superb.
Quality. 👍👍👍
With apologies to “Porridge”, of which the archive footage is currently being broadcast by BBC4 weekly.
From https://denisrancourt.ca/:
Objective harm analysis proves that the “pandemic” global-response structure should be dismantled.
The said structure is a political instrument for globalism, colonialism, and publicly-funded Pharma mega profits, disconnected from reality for viral respiratory diseases.
The pandemic responses have been unjustified and harmful disasters.
Furthermore, looking at all-cause mortality by time (by day, week or month), across all nations with seasonal winter-burden deaths, since WWII, the declared “pandemics” are not statistically different from the “non-pandemics”, which is a hard scientific fact.
I conclude that “pandemic” is a fictitious phenomenon, a word used to instil fear and to manipulate for power and profit.

Gimlet eyes on a face like a smacked arse. Degradation unbound like feigning tears when the poson death jab was ready. I will be your toilet now use me I will go as low as you want. Dirty and sinister, corrupt and depraved. A man who loves corpses.
My favourite exposure of the criminal lockdown scam is this by Roddy Duncan: https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/we-both-know-this-has-never-been-about-saving-lives-boris/.
I am sure I must have read the above article at the time but it is certainly well worth reading again. The sheer venom and anger employed by the author is absolutely wonderful.
Thanks for that, I’d forgotten about that article and the ‘coincidence’ of the variants from Astra Zeneca test countries!
Lockdown earlier and harder was the pre-determined outcome of the inquiry, and damage to the economy is entirely due to Brexit and Tory rule. What a waste of £200m.
What has happened to his neck?
Looks like a Sontaran, same as Lammy. Though that’s an insult to Sontarans – an honourable and courageous race.
OK Hancock, how many died because of this? Name a figure.
I remember reading a letter from Hancock where he was stating his gratitude to France giving up its supply of Midazolam to the UK. There was even an interview online where he talked about it This is not a happy party drug it is a powerful benzodiazapine which in concert with morphine can bring about cessation of respiration.
I cant even begin to explain my contempt for this bloke…
I simply couldn’t find the words…
Evil never admits fault.
Nice coat – Lord Alli again?
Matty Handoncock – one of the great covid success stories. Unfortunately he was sacked before doing even greater damage. In years to come he’ll be thought of in the same light as Robin Hood, Captain Starlight, Jimmy Savile and other English legends
At the time he seemed like the most loathsome creature ever. Until Javid. And then Zahari. Now he can’t even hold a candle in repugnance to Starmer/Blair (the root of much evil)/Miliband and Cooper. I can’t summon up the energy to hate Reeves because I consider her an over-promoted fake given too much responsibility and I doubt the budget policies are her ideas.
It’s useful to be reminded of this particular jerk and the power he exercised over us, and how far he fell from grace. How eagerly I await the fate of the current crop of imposters.
If this constitutes hate speech then I’m due for a very long time in the slammer. Which reminds me: I can think of a long line of Judges who need to face some natural justice.
For lockdown defender read Charlatan
I wonder if he has ever heard of a place called Sweden?
It seems not being in NATO may have played a part in their sticking to the proper procedures.
None of these Odious Bastards like Wancock were doing their own thing , they were working to a script!
It is clear that the issue is not resolved. With this kind of rhetoric another lockdown could happen, although we cannot afford it, it is a fallacy to think it works and lockdowns cause tremendous harm.
I listened to Tim Spector interview on the Covid pandemic 5 years on.
A limited hangout if I ever heard one:

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
Thomas Sowell
We have an abundance of proof of this nowadays. Hancock, has not and will not suffer enough for his incompetence and complete lack of humanity or humility. Promoted way above his intelligence.
People like him should be locked up permanently, they are a danger to society, and he can argue about “sceptics” all he wants but time has proven again and again how this “virus” was not the danger portrayed except to those whom would be vulnerable to any respiratory illness, how many deaths does he want on his hands?.
And we know that Ivermectin and HCQ are successful in treating covid meaning that there is no need to have the unsafe and ineffective covax just as a supressed study showing how they cause sudden death has finally been published.
I thank god every day that Donald Trump won the election and is nominating educated, bright experts in healthcare rather than people like this man. Dear gb, the inquiry is a clown show. Simply ask for your hard earned money back. You have had enough of the clown show, I mean “enquiry” which, appears to have been rigged since day one. How sad it is that this gov’t wastes your money right in front of your eyes. And gets away with it.
Blood on his hands.
Stick to eating Kangaroo bollocks Matt
A very, very dangerous man, incapable of admitting wrong, attacking those who dissented, desperate to cover up and protect his ego. He would not be out of place in Keir Starmers group. A tyrant, and a misanthrope.
