The BBC ran a piece designed to explain why the Govt policy was kosher and the logic behind it, it said there were no scientists in disagreement. Then it corrected the article to say no epidemiologists rather were in disagreement, which is ostensibly false as well. Now it says that at the time of publication no UK epidemiologists had spoken out in mainstream media. They basically admit they didn't do any due diligence when they wrote the piece (they were in a rush to give the Govt cover).
