Key points on the focus of the inquiry

The inquiry seemed more interested in the politics and language used by individuals involved in the COVID response, rather than the structural failures and decision-making processes. It focused on the language used by Dominic Cummings to describe colleagues and less on new revelations. The inquiry also touched on the neglect of vulnerable groups, such as those in care homes, and the reluctance to close borders due to concerns of being labeled racist. However, it did not delve into the effectiveness of border closures or the shift in scientific opinion on lockdown measures.
