It is quite strange how little the actual public inquiry we're having into the UK's Covid response - the one that's publishing in-depth reports every few months - factors into the "you're not even allowed to ask these questions" complaints. We are, in fact, officially asking these questions!

I don't think that's entirely fair. I agree they kinda mangled the explanation of that figure but I don't think it's anywhere near as erroneous as you suggest; it's explicitly a counterfactual and as such it's a bit off to go "oh but it can't include this bit of counterfactuality as well"
