Prof Richard Ennos, Chair of Common Knowledge Edinburgh, opened the conference by welcoming everyone to the event and outlining the day's agenda. He stated that unlike the official Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry, which is operating on the assumption that there was a "pandemic" of a novel respiratory disease in 2020, the Scottish People's Covid-19 Inquiry makes no assumptions, and that, in fact, the scientific evidence for said disease is very weak.
