Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

Please explain why the UK government has declared a pandemic and is pushing experimental vaccines on the UK nation when the World Organisation today 13th March 2021 states on their own website:

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.

Yours faithfully,

ANNA Frances
