#JennyHarries is simply a mouthpiece for the #Tory government's #Covid19 #HerdImmunity policy. Here she ignores the fact that there was no large-scale #TestAndTrace during the containment phase in the UK (unlike China, South Korea, Denmark, etc.) & lies about the #NHS's... /1

...#JennyHarries is asked in Downing Street press conferences about comparisons with other countries she has to lie again, claiming it is not possible to make any meaningful comparisons without providing any scientific evidence for such a claim. Of course @JohnsHopkins differ: /3
They have use global data to map the progress of #Covid19 (gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashbo…) making the value of different policies apparent in different countries. Italy & Spain already have many more deaths than populous & poorer China, today the US & France will exceed China... /4
...and the UK will be next. How do #JennyHarries & @NHSEnglandNMD explain this? Jenny Harries has also been peddling the lie that #NHSworkers have sufficient #PPE & Stephen Powis claimed that <20,000 deaths would be a "success" (China: ~3,300, pop. 1.4bn). /5
The government & their senior medical advisors/NHS managers are all lying to us. The #HerdImmuniy policy is still very much in place & deliberately so, putting the interests of the wealthy elite ahead of people's lives. Where is the opposition? @Keir_Starmer is cheering it on! /6
