Covid Inquiry: Ex-government aide set messages to disappear
A former government aide during the Covid-19 pandemic admitted setting WhatsApp messages to "disappear" as calls for a Covid inquiry grew - but said he can't remember why.
Martin Reynolds turned on a "disappearing message function" on a group chat titled "PM Updates" on the 15th of April 2021.
The news came today during the Covid Inquiry, which has been ongoing since June.
It’s putting the government handling of the pandemic in the spotlight.

Actor Shefali Jariwala's sudden death at the age of 42 due to cardiac arrest has reignited widespread fears about COVID-19 vaccine safety. Amid a surge of speculation, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has broken its silence — citing ICMR and AIIMS studies that debunk any link between COVID-19 vaccines and sudden heart attacks.
In this video, we break down the government's official findings, what experts say about cardiac risks post-COVID, and why misinformation can be more dangerous than the virus itself.

India has crossed 7,000 active COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest spike and three new deaths. The XFG variant, a sub-lineage of Omicron with strong immune evasion, has been detected across the country, raising global alarm. Originating in Canada, the variant carries four spike protein mutations. Globally, SARS-CoV-2 activity is rising, especially in South-East Asia and Eastern Mediterranean regions, with test positivity rates matching last year’s peak. WHO continues to monitor the spread amid poor ICU and hospitalization data from heavily affected regions.

Despite the pandemic no longer dominating headlines, COVID-19 continues to claim hundreds of American lives every week. New CDC data reveals that over 350 people are still dying each week, with the majority of deaths occurring among older adults. Shockingly, only 23% of U.S. adults have received the updated 2024–25 COVID vaccine—and just 13% of children.
