Just 12 months ago the first Covid jab was given ... now look how many of this country's people have had not one, not two, but three jabs to try and keep us safe. Isn't that a fantastic achievement by the government to administer this along with the everyone in the NHS ... oh sorry if that upsets you as I am praising Boris and his team.
Fair enough, DVT, but I suspect the amazing initial success of the Covid vaccination programme was down mostly to two things: the fact that we were the first in the world to produce a vaccine, which was the sole responsibility of the research team at Oxford. The other factor was the sterling commitment by the NHS nationally to deliver the rollout in such a short time frame.
Johnson, however, as can be seen
from the Covid timeline, missed the first four COBRA meetings set up specifically to address the threat, went on holiday in Mid-Feb as the crisis around the world was gaining momentum and only deigned to finally attend a COBRA meeting on March 2nd.
On the Johns Hopkins world map of Covid deaths and illnesses, the UK is
still experiencing more deaths than any other European country and is exceeded internationally only by the extreme right wing Brazil, and the larger population countries India, Russia and the US.
All we hear from the other lot is criticism, bad mouthing, sniping and in cahoots with the media scraping the bottom of the barrel for scraps of sleaze. Destructive not constructive.
By 'the other lot' I assume you mean Her Majesty's Opposition, which currently comprises the SNP, Liberals, Labour and a scattering of smaller parties. In the UK the media, for the most part, backs the Tories, so if they're looking for issues around Johnson I think it's safe to assume it's the Tories who are leaking it.
I agree it would be nice if all the parties could work together but that's never going to happen in a democracy with such an outdated electoral system. And the Tories have a long track record of attacking their own leaders.
Johnson has proved himself incompetent, lazy, a practised liar and a coward; and I would say we are not where we are in vaccination terms
because of him, but
in spite of him.
