how is it fake news

https://politicshome.com/news/uk/health-and-care/illnesstreatments/news/110595/matt-hancock-insists-herd-immunity-not-part

yes, but the fact that the chief adviser said that, is not fake news

maybe it's not the gov's policy

lol at the dramatic music on the Independent's spin piece

That clip of him addressing the 60% figure is obviously taken out of context

they should definitely get their shit straight though

if their chief adviser is saying that to major news outlets

and then they deny it

It's not just the independent saying that though

He was talking about herd immunity, that isn't the same as saying it's part of the plan

the chief advisor can say what he wants... that doesnt mean it will be implemented... matt's job is to take the advice from all of the top specialists in every area, virology, pandemic, economical, medical and then make a decision based on all of it

Media are just overblowing shit as per

> Sir Patrick said the advice the Government is following is not looking to suppress the disease entirely but to help create a "herd immunity in the UK"

hello

Ban the 'free' press

Who's Sir Patrick

THE UK'S CHIEF MED ADVISER

Chill

ok.. so "sir patrick" says one thing... Im going to get it from THE GUY ACTUALLY MAKING THE PLAN

Didn't know his actual name

Why does he say the exact opposite of Matt Hancock

"sir patrick" like his name is conjecture lol

no... like Im quoting something...

so if Boris came out and said, we are definitely not nuking Iran ... and some chief advisor said "I told him to nuke Iran" .. would you assume we're nuking Iran... or listen what boris said he would actually do?

Why would Sir Patrick roll with the herd immunity narrative if it's not part of the plan?

I would go by what the Isrealis say

because there are many different advisors from all sectors giving all kinds of advice... some might think their advice is being used... in this case its clearly not..

right

since the guy making the plan... said its not being used

Yeah, I'll go by what Hancock says

wait... I just read this bit 😛 "New television adverts featuring the chief medical officer and voiced by actor Mark Strong will stress the Government's call for frequent hand-washing and ask those with a high temperature or "new continuous cough" to self-isolate for seven days."

We knew that already didn't we?

So high temp and continuous cough are the first symptons

I just thought it was funny that theyd get Mark Strong to voice act it... like.. why??

Hes been in some good movies

Make it sound cooler

actually not a bad idea, for the same reason they use famous actors in adverts for products

gets people's attention
