Could it be due to the fact that many of the witness testimonies focused on the suspicious deaths of the elderly and vulnerable in care homes and hospitals during the ‘pandemic’? Jacqui Deevoy and a man named Dave investigate.
If it hadn’t been for a man on Twitter, I probably wouldn’t have known about the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry.
When I asked a journalist friend living in Scotland what she thought of the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry, she said “I don’t know anything about it.” Her partner – a Scotsman – also hadn’t heard of it.
The man on Twitter is called Dave. He’s not a trained journalist – he’s just a bloke, an interested citizen who’s been following, analysing and reporting on the Inquiry since it first opened on 26th July 2023. Evidence from experts and members of the public started being heard in October the same year.
At that point, I wasn’t aware of Dave. Very few people on social media were. He describes himself as an independent researcher, lives in Scotland, currently has 2,600 followers on Twitter/X and has a Substack account, but that’s pretty much all I know about him.
It was only when he contacted me in February this year that he - and the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry - entered my sphere of vision. At that point, the inquiry had been going for almost nine months. The video clip Dave sent me showed a woman making a statement on the imprisonment of the elderly in care homes in 2020, saying how this decision should have been challenged.
A second clip, sent the same day but recorded in November, showed retired nurse of 41 years Marion McPartland declaring that care home residents were deprived of basic human rights and telling her own story about the horrors her mother had endured in a care home during Covid lockdowns.
After that, Dave sent me almost daily video clips. One showed a concerned Lord Brailsford, who allegedly came out of retirement to work on the inquiry, asking “was it signed?” He’s referring to a DNR (Do Not Resusciate order). A woman called Gillian Grant, the daughter of a locked down care home resident, replies “it was in block capitals… my name… not my signature at all.”
I was amazed to see these videos of ordinary people making the most extraordinary statements on subjects with which I was all too familiar. They spoke openly of the overdosing of loved ones with Midazolam and morphine – an issue I’ve been researching for four years. They spoke of care home managers lying to families and GPs, of cruelty and neglect, and of residents being denied hospital treatment and, instead, being put on ‘end of life’ protocols regardless of whether they were at the end of their lives.
In a video recorded on November 24th 2023, Pamela Cameron Thomas talks about the death of her brother James in hospital on 17th September 2021 after he’d been admitted with diarrhoea and dehydration. I speak to Pamela regularly. She told me how family were not allowed to visit James in hospital and how they were kept updated via phone and the occasional video call. Within days, however, James was unable to communicate. She later discovered that antibiotics had been withheld and that James had been used as a “lab rat”, as he’d been put on a randomised control trial to test new drugs to treat pneumonia. He never had pneumonia so this made no sense. He had not given his consent for this and, according to Pamela , the signature on the consent form had been forged. She’s shown me what James’ signature looks like and it’s nothing like the one on the form. She believes the form was signed by the study investigator.
On September 21st, James was put on a ventilator unnecessarily and given three sedatives including Midazolam. He died as a result on October 5th. He was 41.
Pamela says: “I've been fighting ever since to get answers as to what happened to my brother. I've had a meeting with the major crime team from Police Scotland: they asked me questions and I await a response. I have pictures of my brother in his coffin. He was unrecognisable. His face was swollen and his body was horribly bloated. My funeral directors told me he was four stone heavier than his usual weight due to all the build up of fluid. They had issues with the cause of death - which was listed as Covid - and so have I.”
At the inquiry, over a period of several weeks, these testimonies kept coming.
One witness believed her mother had been put on ‘palliative care medicine” but she was told that only paracetamol had been given. She said to a social worker “if you’ve given my mum palliative care medicine, I’m getting you charged with murder.” Her mother died shortly after.
Bill Jolly, the son of another victim of Midazolam and morphine, who I’ve spoken to personally, managed to get some publicity about his father’s suspicious and dreadful death. In an interview with James Freeman on TNT Radio on January 16th 2024, Bill stated “in my opinion, my father was euthanised.” In an article in the Scottish paper the Daily Record, which alleged that Bill’s father William died of Covid, Bill is quoted as saying “he was put on a drug regime of Midazolam and morphine… and became unconscious. Once he was pumped full of ‘be quiet’ drugs, he was dead within ten days.” Bill and countless others are now seeking justice for their loved ones and won’t stop fighting until they get it.
Anyone familiar with my work will know that I’ve been trying to get stories of involuntary euthanasia into the mainstream UK press since early 2021. I realised quite quickly that the newspapers just weren’t going to publish anything to do with the blatant culling that had started in April 2020 when there was a spike in care home deaths (all attributed to Covid of course). Most people are now on board with the fact that it wasn’t a virus that killed these vulnerable souls: it was something far more sinister. Due to a lack of interest from the MSM, I decided to start work on a documentary and, thanks to Ickonic Media, the film ‘A Good Death?’ was released in December 2021. I set up a WhatsApp support group earlier that year which now has 145 members, all with similar stories. At that point, there were no inquiries in progress.
The Covid inquiry in England, known as the UK Covid Inquiry - chaired by Baroness Heather Hallett (who previously led the inquests into the 7/7 bombings in 2005) and launched by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in June 2022, with the first public hearings commencing a year later - was intermittently mentioned in the UK mainstream press, but there was never a mention in the UK inquiry of what came to be known on social media as ‘the Midazolam murders’. Of course there wasn’t.
Matt Hancock who, in his role as Health Secretary, had ordered 22,000 extra packs of Midazolam from a French supplier called Accord in early April 2020, was said to have stated during the UK inquiry that he wanted to be the person who decided who should live and who should die during the faux pandemic. He wanted to play God. (By that time, I was already in the middle of producing my second film ‘Playing God’, an investigation into medical democide over the last 50 years: it premiered in April 2024.) But even with outrageous truths like this surfacing, the papers didn’t seem to think it was a big deal and kept it relatively quiet. A short BBC report on November 2nd 2023 said “in his witness statement… Mr. Hancock thought he, not doctors… should decide who to prioritise if hospitals became overwhelmed.” But that’s as close as the mainstream got to reporting on the involuntary euthanasia that had pretty much become par for the course by that stage. That’s why it was so surprising that the Scottish Covid Inquiry didn’t hold back on this issue.
There were never any direct mentions of euthanasia in relation to Covid in the mainstream press… The BBC published occasional reports on their website - such as the one about Gillian Grant, whose grandmother was put on end of life drugs for no reason and died - and there were the odd small stories in the papers at the very start of the inquiry – one in the Telegraph about care home residents being starved to death and one in the Independent that described the inquiry as “shambolic’ - but no editor or journalist seemed to want to get to the heart of it, nor report on the statements given by the relatives of involuntary euthanasia victims: out of all the statements made during the inquiry, these were no doubt the most shocking, the most heartbreaking and the most horrifying.
Back in December 2021, the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry was just a very tiny twinkle in the government’s eye. The Deputy First Minister announced at that time that the Hon. Lady Poole would chair the Inquiry. On appointment, Lady Poole said: "I am honoured to chair this independent public inquiry examining the strategic response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland. We have all been affected by this pandemic. There has been a major impact on every aspect of all our lives. The death of so many as a result of COVID-19 is a tragedy, and others have suffered in many different ways. The inquiry will work independently to establish the facts in an open and transparent way in order to determine what lessons can be learned for the future. There is a great deal to be done in a short space of time.”
Did Barnoness Hallett not agree to do the same? It would appear not, especially as deaths by overdose in care homes and hospitals under NICE guideline NG163 were never mentioned, let alone examined.
But back to Dave. On his Substack channel, he regularly updates his subscribers on the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry, focusing mainly on all the stuff the English inquiry has, to date, failed to discuss. He says that his reports are “the culmination of months of independent citizen-led journalism. By and large, these testimonies have either been poorly covered by the mainstream media or ignored altogether... MSPs have also said absolutely nothing!”
Dave gives credit to TNT Radio for being the only alternative media platform to discuss the harrowing Scottish Covid Inquiry testimonies. He also commends fellow Twitterer/X-er @TheRustler83. And, these days, because I share and comment on a lot of his posts and because I’m writing this article, he quite likes me too.
What many of us want now is for the government to take a serious look at what was really causing the deaths of Britain’s most vulnerable during the plandemic. We want to hear REAL accounts of how LOCKDOWNS, ISOLATION, MEDICAL NEGLECT AND MALFEASANCE, STARVATION, DEHYDRATION, FORGED SIGNATURES ON DNRs and DEPRIVATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS truly affected people, not just at home but in care homes, hospices and hospitals.
As Shelagh McCall KC stated: “Many families witnessed remotely a significant deterioration of their loved ones physical and mental health in lockdown that was NOTHING to do with Covid-19. Some suspect that their loved ones were suffering from neglect, dehydration and starvation.” This amounts to, in the eyes of many, cold-blooded murder.
The UK Covid Inquiry continues. The Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry's health and social care impact hearings have now concluded. Closing statements took place on 27–28 June 2024. (You can view these statements exclusively on Dave’s Substack as there are no mainstream media reports. Dave has reached out to the Scottish media to cover this but has had no response as yet.) It will start its hearings investigating the impacts of the pandemic on education and certification on 4th November 2024, before moving onto the impact of the pandemic on the financial and welfare support given to businesses and individuals.
So, although the Midazolam murders got a brief airing, it would seem that the Scottish Covid Inquiry has now chosen to put the whole sorry chapter – one of the worst crimes against humanity – right back to bed. And the media, by failing to report on this most important part of the inquiry, have helped do that.

As you know Jacqui, I found this end of life pathway in my aunt's notes in 2020, following her discharge from the nightingale hospital (she only went in after a fall and after being alone for 13 days). I also found the DNAR which they lied about and said she'd agreed to.
Full credit to Dave for covering this; it's an absolute disgrace. My former MP and Member of the Senedd were made fully aware of this but still didn't feel the need to DO anything. Most disgracefully our now First Minister Eluned Morgan was my regional MS previously and refused to meet with me, knowing that I wanted to discuss this with her. The agenda is pretty clear to me.
Excellent write up Jacqui! A real travesty the 'alt' media and big 'medical freedom' accounts can't organise and get behind Scottish COVID inquiry testimonies to hit back at the msm narratives from 2020 and more importantly to put pressure on our politicians for overseeing this without a fuss. If you search all the prominent 'alt media' platforms you will find few articles on Scottish COVID inquiry. (eg-1 on Infowars, 1 (sort of article) on David Icke.com, 1 on CHD) all feature my work. But no interest shown thereafter. The rest of the community are nowhere but all other topics are up for discussion. I emailed many of them again recently (also inc Neil Oliver and Bev turner) in relation to 2024 health and social care closing statements. No replies. Surreal.
