Regulator reviewing complaint about Jason Leitch s Covid death claims THE Statistics regulator is reviewing a complaint made about coronavirus death statistics given by Scotland s National Clinical Director.

As previously reported, claims made by Mr Leitch last month were referred to the UK Statistics Authority s chief executive Professor Sir Ian Diamond last week. In February Mr Leitch said during the daily televised coronavirus briefing that nobody died of Covid between the 17th of July and the 18th of August, 28 days after a positive Covid test”.
Letter to the editor: Condemning Jason Hill’s comments condemns free-thinking
Wyatt Verlen, Contributing Writer|February 15, 2021
Editor’s note:
The views expressed in this letter to the editor do not necessarily reflect the views of The DePaulia staff
In a recent article for The DePaulia, Professor Jason D. Hill is accused by a student of having made “transphobic statements” in classes and on Twitter. The writer says that the statements in question “may contradict the school’s discrimination and harassment policies.” This is a gross distortion of the conversation Professor Hill is trying to have. At no point has he belittled, denigrated or otherwise claimed subhuman status for LGBTQ people (conveniently forgotten, seemingly, is the fact that Professor Hill is an openly gay man). The Tweet in question merely states a position that the majority of Americans agree with.
