A Cabinet minister was found misplacing the blame game upon the scientists, grouping and analyzing their work as misleading and plainly ‘wrong’.
Therese Coffey, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions of the United Kingdom since 2019 and an MP for the Suffolk Coastal constituency, defended the obviously surfacing truths about Boris Johnson’s government in failing to deal effectively with the pandemic, has announced in the questions that the government was only following instructions from the scientists, who had been conducting ‘inadequate’ testings
The example that was brought up in the questions had to do with the discard of the policy for routine testing of a particular symptom on March 12, the government’s transition phase into ‘delay’.
This particular move from the government have been bombarded by MPs from all corners of the Parliament as being ‘most consequential’ error of all the mishaps that have happened on this particular notion of quarantine.
However, Ms Coffey, defiantly defending the British bureaucracy, have not only dodged questions, but pushed the boundaries further.
Asked to verify if the government acknowledges the mistake that they have caused during this step, the Minister have brazenly said that ministers are led to ‘only make judgements and decisions based on the information and advice that we have at the time.
If the science advice at the time was wrong I am not surprised people think we made the wrong decision,’ she said. This was only barely after Sir Adrian Smith of the Royal Society begged the public to not put blame on the sceintists
But PHE chief Duncan Selbie shot back at the Health Committee that it was ‘not responsible’ for the testing strategy, which ‘has been led by the Department of Health and Social Care’.
He insisted ‘any testing facility with the right technology and containment’ could have carried out checks after security restrictions were lowered on March 3. GMB’s Piers Morgan also berated Ms Coffey for mistakenly claiming that 100,000 people had been tested on a ‘handful’ of days.
In fact, while the government says it has hit the 10,000 tests a day target, the number of people checked is lower as many need to be done more than once for clinical reasons.
