It's likely that Covid death certificates were riddled with inaccuracies, mistakes and assumptions, a new report has alleged. The Medical Minefield team speak to authors of the paper, Professor Carl James Heneghan, a GP and the director of the University of Oxford's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and Dr Tom Jefferson, an epidemiologist and author for the Cochrane Collaboration, and to Professor Kevin McConway, a statistics expert at the Open University, about how human error during an understandably hectic period for the health care system may have skewed the official number of fatalities recorded during the pandemic.
