Professor Neil Ferguson, whose Covid modelling was instrumental to the UK going into lockdown, has denied stepping “over the line” and telling ministers they needed to shut down. The scientist, who is director of the school of public health at Imperial College London and was a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) during the pandemic, was asked repeatedly during the Covid inquiry on Tuesday about why he had not given bigger warnings in early 2020 over the potential death toll. He was also asked by the inquiry’s lead counsel, Hugo Keith KC, whether, despite his best endeavours, he had become involved “in the determination of policy”. TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer blasts Prof Neil Ferguson after he admitted to the Covid inquiry that he knew lockdown would cause economic misery. Julia: “We all laugh about it now, but it happened! Why are so many people trying to rewrite history?” #talktv #talkradio #covid19 #lockdown #covidlockdown
