The UK government blames its own scientists for giving them the 'wrong' advice on tackling the coronavirus

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.A senior member of Boris Johnson's government has blamed its coronavirus mistakes on 'wrong' scientific advice given by its advisers.

"If the science was wrong, advice at the time was wrong, I'm not surprised if people will then think we made a wrong decision,"Ministers have been receiving advice from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies since the start of the coronavirus outbreak."We have tried to take, every step of the way, making sure that we listen to the science, understand the science and make decisions based on that.

The government has been secretive about the advice that SAGE has provided to ministers. It only published a list of the members who sit on the group two weeks ago and has not yet published full minutes of the meetings that have taken place.

If anyone in the UK is believing this political bullshitting then you are already lost. There was do much information available by middle of February. Countries were closing boarders & putting arrivals in 14 day quarantining in March. Boris focussed on herd immunity, it failed.

AdamBienkov Slippery clown starts to pass the buck

英国没人了,选了个这么个东西!

AdamBienkov Anyone but themselves. BorisHasFailed borisliedpeopledied BorisIsMissing JohnsonHasFailed

About friggin time! Neil Ferguson's study was flawed from the start. He single-handily destroyed the global economy with the help of climate change zealot Bill Gates.

My,oh,my..blame someone,anyone.. heck,just look like the blame is on something!

AdamBienkov Are they going to invest in a big red bus with the words “NOT OUR FAULT” on the side?

Scientists are pretty much guessing. They do not & never will have all the answers. Science has to be balanced with common sense & personal responsibility.

Yeah, it is well known scenario, but without any originality already. Maybe it would be original to blame shamans😶

Come on, pull the other one... SAGE gives advice to politicians. It’s their decision at the end of the day... not the scientist’s. These Slippery Tory eel’s excuses simply wont wash. They cannot be allowed to get away with this, there is simply too many dead.

Boris Johnson just like Trump. He’s in hot water about his corona virus 🦠 response so blames others. What a wimp! The buck 💵 stops at the top whether PM or President.

BIUK Why doesn’t he blame the Chinese government spread virus to everywhere? Coward

BIUK_Politics Oh my BorisLiedPeopleDied now he wants to pass the blame - he never takes any responsibility - ask any of his wives of mistresses or... those who he said TakeItOnTheChin too

Wait you mean scientists can be wrong? I thought if someone was a 'scientist' we weren't allowed to question them at all... coronavirus COVID19 scientist science

BIUK_Politics Covid deaths are entirely the fault of the Tory party. 100%

AdamBienkov Here we go...

BIUK Unfortunately, this is the reality! The government will hide, deny and would try to not accept any of their mismanagement of their wrong doings!

Thousands of journalists are CIA assets... hence the doom and gloom nature of modern journalism emilyrs
