Patrick Vallance, who was the government’s chief scientific adviser during COVID, made a note in his diary on October 25, 2020, about a meeting involving then Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Sunak, who was finance minister.
The diary entry shown to the inquiry recorded how Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s most senior adviser during the pandemic, had relayed to Vallance what he said he had heard at the meeting.
Hahaha that came to mind for me as well.
I always trust whatever the government tells me. I think we should be locked down forever and live in cubicles. The only way to be completely safe.
You say ... in support of a government official?
It's just easier to say you're ok with people needlessly dying. Fewer words, you don't have to confuse people with sentences that don't make sense. Win win.
The TV tells me what to think. So I don’t have to

HEADLINE: Tory casually evil. News at 11. Next story, a piece of toast lands butter side down…

Not only is it evil, it’s also dangerously incompetent. None of the “let the bodies pile high” brigade seem to ever considered what the actual consequences on society would have been if the streets really had started to fill with body bags.
The panic was bad enough as it was, imagine how things could have spiralled if there was no control over the pandemic at all.

Last pandemic in Europe where bodies piled on the streets wiped out a third of the population. We would have had Black Plague v2.0
