Sir Jeremy Farrar says ‘no reason other than political manoeuvring’ for delay until spring 2022
Boris Johnson’s failure to start a public inquiry into Covid this year is a disgrace that is all about “political manoeuvring” to protect his reputation, according to a leading scientific adviser to the government.
The comments from Sir Jeremy Farrar came in the third extract from his book Spike — The Virus vs The People: The Inside Story, where he claims that Johnson’s pledge to wait until 2022 to start the inquiry into what happened with the management of the pandemic is for “no reason other than political manoeuvring”.
