He was appointed by the governing Tories. As was Vallance.

The nmber of times Whitty and Vallance have soft peddled on closures in the last 15 months underlines they are not men of integrity.

Unless they say something you agree with?

Integrity. lol

Sorry, did you just post an article from Boris Johnson's Torygraph in support of your argument?

Oh....

I didnt even read it.

But I honestly have no idea which way any paper leans, I just know I don't trust any of them.

But this is SAGE, a source you trust.

Asked by Sir Simon Wessely, professor of psychological medicine at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, whether lockdowns would be reimposed if cases increased, Professor Whitty said: "No, I don’t think so."

Since they were humiliated by the scientific community for being silent on the murderer's conduct in March / April last year they have got their act together.

Independent SAGE made sure of that.

No. They could never commit to a viewpoint like that.

I wouldn't normally but he was a "socialist" who couldn't stop lying, so I thought it was quite apt in this case.

Why wouldn't we see a lockdown if lots of people are being hospitalised and many are dying from Covid19 in a surge of infections? I mean, these events are openly talked about by the scientific community as real possibilities. Many even expect that to happen.

The vaccines will hopefully makes sure those deaths are kept way down below what we've seen so far in surges. However, they will be disruptive to all our lives. So, again, I ask why wouldn't we see a lockdown? The odds must be strongly in favour of it.

We won't see another lockdown because the number of deaths attributed to covid-19 will be reduced to a level deemed acceptable across society.

The balance of living life in favour of an acceptable number of deaths will ensure that.

We will see. I hope you're right.

I'll bet there's not another lock down ever again..

Thats kinda it mate. Its why the windows between dates were the 5 weeks, (data data data), to double check they outcome they modelled. Obvs, I have no idea of what they did input, but I would hazard a guess that it was exactly what they/we are doing. Slippage of anything leads to a reassessment. (Remember the "lumpy" vax supply line for April? Didnt happen, but might have).

And unexpected results would lead to a different model, hence the live tests in Liverpool; its all part of a slow, cautious, modelled, return.

I thought we did have a lumpy vax supply in April, which is why they were giving out way less first doses?

For about 4 days though.
