Open Letter to Professor Jason Leitch
It seems little has changed for the National Clinical Director of the Scottish Government despite his public expression of regret for the harms caused by covid management measures.
Dear Professor Leitch
You may recall that I wrote to you in March of this year with my concerns about your public expression of regret about covid-19 management measures but stopped short of apology because, ‘we did what we did because of the knowledge we had at the time.’ I pointed out to you that it was known prior to March 2020 that lockdowns, masks and other non pharmaceutical interventions were both ineffective and harmful but policy makers chose to ignore this knowledge and those who warned them.
Individual human rights and informed consent are at the heart of the issues that I’d most like to draw your attention to after listening with dismay to your responses on BBC Radio Scotland ‘Mornings’ Q&A session on 15/9 with Steven Jardine. Despite the regret you expressed in March, your responses continue to dismiss the growing body of knowledge and evidence that challenges covid-19 policy and guidance in two areas in particular.
Firstly, despite robust, gold standard evidence to the contrary, you remain determined to promote mask wearing as an effective and safe measure to prevent the spread of respiratory infections. Of most concern, you state that masks are worn, not for individual benefit but for the benefit of others. Common sense alone renders this assertion bizarre but it’s also coercive, undermines informed consent and vilifies those who choose not to wear a mask while commending those that do. A similar approach was used to promote covid-19 vaccines when it was known from the outset they did not prevent transmission or infection and the decision to be vaccinated should have been up to each individual based on their own assessment of risk.
You will be familiar with the updated Cochrane review and of course others of similar quality and surely can’t fail to consider Dr Ashley Croft’s report for the Scottish Inquiry. Dr Croft carried this out within the framework of evidence based medicine; a rigorous method that focuses on reliable and highly rated randomised controlled trials as opposed to observational studies which are prone to bias but were used predominantly to justify interventions from 2020 onwards. His report concludes there was either insufficient or even no evidence to implement most of the restrictive covid-19 management measures which resulted in individual, societal and economic harm that was avoidable and should not have occurred.
Dr Croft's report should have been headline news but instead, mainstream sources took steps to discredit his reputation and therefore his findings, consistent with the treatment of thousands of other eminent experts who have challenged or questioned the official response to covid-19.
The various inquiries will not report on their findings until 2026, meaning that Governments will continue to repeat fatal mistakes if they fail to respond to critical evidence at the time of being revealed.
My next concern relates to the caller who said he was previously an ‘anti-vaxxer’ but realised the error of his ways and now wanted to be vaccinated. As National Clinical Director for the Scottish Government, I expected you (and Steven) to challenge this derogatory term. Informed consent is the bedrock of medical practice and individual choice not to have a medical treatment should be respected, regardless of the treatment in question. The derogatory term ‘anti-vaxxer’ has been coined to vilify anybody who makes an informed decision not to have a particular vaccine or indeed any vaccine.
You’ll recall that the covid-19 vaccines were advertised as completely safe and effective but you now accept that some people are ‘allergic’ to the ingredients in the vaccine. This has always been the case as with all vaccines, hence why the Vaccine Damage Payment scheme has been in existence since 1979. You’ll also be aware that individuals who knew they were allergic to the ingredients in the covid-19 vaccines were refused an exemption as were all others regardless of the risk involved. I was astounded that you glibly stated that ‘the way they’re made and ‘things’ that are in them are being adjusted’ in the midst of the vaccination programme.
Contrary to mounting evidence, you state that heart problems, especially in young men, are extremely rare, dismissing the millions of reports of serious adverse events which are recorded in the various reporting systems throughout the world. Indeed, without any evidence to support your assertion, you state categorically that covid (which gets very muddled with SARS-CoV-2 infection) is solely responsible for these serious conditions.
I presume you’re also referring to the current and rising number of deaths from all causes which now exceeds deaths from all causes in 2020/21.
It is irresponsible in the extreme not to consider the possibility that the new vaccines could be one of the explanations behind these ’unexplained’ deaths and serious conditions. I urge you to watch this presentation made to the UK inquiry on behalf of those who have been injured or lost a loved one due to the covid-19 vaccines.

Promoting vaccines in the absence of reference to the efficiency of our immune system and how to look after it, especially in children and young people, is a massive public health failure. Natural immunity is known to be more robust and long lasting than vaccine induced immunity, which is of course short lived and comes with the risk of adverse events. The majority of healthy people were never at risk of developing covid-19 (with an infection fatality rate of around 0.098%) which you’ll know arises as a complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection, mainly affecting people who are older and already unwell with obesity being the main risk factor across all age groups.
A life spent terrified of a never ending stream of viruses which are part and parcel of life, with our survival being dependent on multiple doses of expensive medical treatments is no life at all as many of us are coming to realise. There are far greater threats to our health and welfare which receive little attention.
I sincerely hope this can all be reflected in future statements and interviews.
With kind regards
Thank you for what you have written. Jason Leitch is very ignorant, one of a great many so-called health experts in the UK. Vaccines have always been poisonous and pointless at best. People like Jason have blood on their hands and are guilty of GBH and murder.
