phart Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 A lot of activity happening with surge vaccinations etc, this new variant really stirring things up. 2 doses of vaccine seems to be effective against it though. I guess the hoarding of the vaccines is over as they start a race to get it into arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a dentist and no more, he has absolutely no expertise in infectious diseases. I remember his smug appearance on GMB and his tussle with Piers Morgan about the seriousness of the virus. When he said in that interview that it was perfectly safe to go to concerts and that he was going to visit his parents later on because there was no risk, my jaw nearly hit the floor. I'm not an expert in infectious diseases either but anyone who was paying any attention to what was going on in other parts of the world and what some of the scientists were saying about this virus KNEW that that wasn't true. The fact that he said it all with such confidence as well just made my blood boil. People trusted him as someone who knew what he was talking about and his advice probably ended up resulting in a lot of people dying. As far as I am concerned he is culpable for those peoples lives. He then spent the majority of the summer telling the public that there was currently no evidence that masks have any affect on the level of transmission. I honestly thought I was losing my mind listening to his absolute shite as a representative of the Scottish government.
