End lockdown and declare lockdown illegal and ineffective

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament should cease all current lockdown measures.
Parliament should follow Florida's example and apologise to the public for imposing Lockdowns and then pass legislation ruling out the use of Lockdowns in any future health crisis.
There is no scientific evidence, other than questionable and disputed hypothetical modelling, to suggest Lockdowns have saved a single life in 2020.
There are at least 28 scientific papers based on real empirical data that show Lockdowns either make no difference or even increase viral transmission and deaths.
An unacceptable number of excess deaths occurred in 2020 which have been linked to lockdown measures. This must never happen again.
