Why testing now?

David Moore made this Freedom of Information request to Department of Health

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was successful.

Dear Department of Health,

As a teacher being forced to either take either an experimental vaccination or regular pcr test I would like to know the reason why this is starting September 1st? There was no testing done in the last two weeks of May, and the entirety of June, July and August and there was no concerns. Why has the government deemed it so important that the tests must start again and why are the spit tests not being used as these were perfectly accurate for millions of citizens just a few month ago.

Yours faithfully,

David Moore

Department of Health
