The then prime minister didn’t have the right “skill set” to handle the pandemic, an independent hearing has been told.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was fixated throughout the Covid-19 crisis on elderly people accepting their fate and saw the virus as “nature’s way of dealing with old people,” an inquiry into Downing Street’s handling of the pandemic has heard.
At a Tuesday hearing as part of the government’s inquest into Covid-19, notes from Johnson’s top science adviser, Patrick Vallance, were shared, which detailed what the aide viewed as Johnson’s “obsession” with older people accepting risks as they related to the potentially fatal virus.
The notes, dated from August 2020, detailed Vallance’s opinion that Johnson was keen to let “the young get on with life and [keep] the economy going” – which Vallance described at the time as a “quite bonkers set of exchanges.”
Vallance added in the notes: “[Johnson] says his party ‘thinks the whole thing is pathetic and Covid is just nature’s way of dealing with old people, and I am not entirely sure I disagree with them. A lot of moderate people think it is a bit too much.’ [He] wants to rely on polling.”
The notes were shared during evidence given to the UK Covid-19 inquiry by Johnson’s former director of communications, Lee Cain, as part of the independent investigation into London’s response to the pandemic.
Cain told the hearing that Johnson was reluctant to impose a so-called ‘circuit-breaker’ lockdown to inhibit the spread of the virus in September 2020, as this was “very much against what’s in his political DNA.” However, Cain added that his own research had indicated that the UK public’s overall desire was for a more cautious approach.
Cain added that Johnson would frequently “oscillate” between different Covid policy decisions, delaying the government’s ability to effectively respond to the pandemic, which he said he found “rather exhausting from time to time.”
“What would probably be clear in Covid,” Cain said when asked at the hearing if Johnson was the right person to lead the UK through the pandemic, “It was wrong for this prime minister’s skill set.”
Johnson’s apparent indecisiveness, as revealed in Vallance’s notes, felt like being “punched in the stomach,” said Brenda Doherty, spokesperson for Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK, according to the BBC on Tuesday.
“During the first and second waves of the pandemic the UK had one of the highest death tolls per person in the world from Covid-19 and it’s clear just how personally responsible for that he was,” Doherty said.
Johnson, who announced the inquiry during his prime ministership in May 2021, has not commented publicly on the evidence detailed at the hearings this week, but a spokesperson said the former PM is “cooperating fully” with the inquiry. Johnson, as well as current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, are expected to give evidence later this year.
Per the data available online, 230,669 people have died from Covid-19 in the United Kingdom. The majority of deaths involved people aged 75 or over.
Bojo, the mop-headed meat bag, is a perfect example of what the Elite Ivy League Schools in the UK and the US are churning out!
Glad to hear his comments, as now everyone knows that he is a human exterminator, a plate-throwing sociopath, and a eugenist in favour of de-populating the Earth.
This means that he will NEVER hold office again, provided he isn’t vote frauded back into office…
Boris for once seems to having had insight.
Insight into either the (covid) flu affecting as usual only the infirm (co-morbid) or because he typically looked only for votes.
At any rate, what the world knows now (and what some half-wits seemingly even now have difficulty comprehending) obviously is being whitewashed by this “comprehensive inquiry” where the old BS is being regurgitated and used to dilute the fact that >>>

>>> THE BIO-WEAPON mRNA shots ought to be the REAL cause for inquiry!
Hear hear 🍻
It is clear, Boris Johnson is a tool of the money elite. He has without shame done their bidding, not only during the plandemic, but also in Ukraine, meeting with Zelensky to scupper any thoughts of a negotiated peace with Russia.
But it is not only Boris. Currently, leaders of most western countries have lost all sense of reason evident in their flawed thinking in support of the Zionist State, and the genocide taking place in Gaza.
It seems some form of collective insanity has taken the world by stealth in the decisions seen with Covid and conflict. It is time for all right thinking people to say No to this nonsense..
The old did die because they treated them the wrong way and still do. Boris is as big a knob as he looks
The Snordster did a video 2 years or so ago titled ‘Thanksgiving’…released in November of 2021 or 2022.
One line by Les Visible as recited by Snordster, aka Patrick Willis, was this:
“I wish I had a country to love…!”
NONE of the ‘Western nations’ are lovable any more, and based on their collusion on the destruction and genocide of an entire people in Gaza, and what was once loved plus admired is now hated with high degrees of contempt…
And the Zionist J3w$ are once again whining about ‘anti-semitic comments’ being made in the schools, and the uptick of threats by the general populations against the Purim Festival goers and blood libel drinkers!
The pandemic was fake. Lies were told daily. Mortality figures were conflated and inflated, people were unnecessarily intubated, put into induced comas and left to die on ventilators essentially from O2 poisoning.
These are the things that OUGHT to be investigated. But this “inquiry” seems to be an attempt to legitimise the lies even further, to make the case that Johnson’s government didn’t do ENOUGH, when the truth is they did TOO MUCH. They were In lockstep with all the rest of Herr Schwab’s minions, England’s PM may as well have been a commie leftist like Jacinda instead of a fake CONservative like Boris.
Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t care less if they publicly crucify this disheveled clown, but if the “inquiry” is already starting from the supposition that there was an actual deadly pandemic occurring (when there clearly wasn’t), then the entire thing is already a laughable farce. Zero chance they will touch mandates, MRNA vaccines, Pfizer contracts, censorship, mass surveillance or electronic passes. The entire thing is clearly going to be yet another exercise in brainwashing and arse-covering. Same exact thing will happen if there’s ever an inquiry here.
The criminals aren’t going to arrest themselves and sentence themselves and throw themselves into prison.
Awful man. He’s not even english he was born in uptown N. Y.
