Gallstones are not a major health issue (unless you have them).
But they have significance to the Covid measures because "Gallstones are not known to be caused by Covid-19, making it a good control case for estimating harm from policy".
So how did "our" NHS fare?
"The temporal relationship, magnitude of service disruption, and the known natural history of gallstone disease together suggest that healthcare disruption was a major contributing factor in these excess deaths"
Now a "temporal relationship" on its own proves nothing, so HART has done further analysis to try to get to the truth of it.
