Top 7 Takeaways from Boris Johnson’s Two Days of Testimony at The Covid Inquiry

After two gruelling days of giving evidence, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s time at the COVID-19 Inquiry is up.

Here are some of the main takeaways from his 10 hours in the witness box: He made mistakes, and he is sorry.

He didn’t always have enough information about the risks.

Boasting about shaking hands with COVID patients was a bad idea.

‘Eat Out to Help Out’ seemed like a good idea at the time.

Matt Hancock did a good job.

Partygate was exaggerated.

Having been in intensive care with the virus himself, he understands the devastation it caused.

Shefali Jariwala's Sudden Death at 42 Sparks Panic | Goverment Says COVID Vaccines NOT to Blame

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. #ShefaliJariwala #COVID19Vaccine #HeartAttack #VaccineMyths #ICMR #AIIMS #PublicHealth #VaccineFacts #COVIDTruth #HealthMinistry #CardiacArrest #COVIDSideEffects #FactCheck #MedicalScience #IndiaNews #OneindiaNews ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~

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.
