Two gems...
When Covid hospital cases fall and pressure on the NHS is lifted, he says, ‘That is the point at which we can look to lift the restrictions.’ So what about herd immunity, vaccinating so many people that the virus dies out? ‘The goal is not to ensure that we vaccinate the whole population before that point, it is to vaccinate those who are vulnerable. Then that’s the moment at which we can carefully start to lift the restrictions.’ But at that point the majority would remain unprotected. Would he — as Health Secretary — still say it’s time to abolish the restrictions? ‘Cry freedom,’ he replies.
And
‘We have demonstrated we have the best regulator in the world, without doubt. Now we are outside of the European Union, we have the opportunity to innovate.’ He thinks biotech companies will be lured here by the prospect of ‘a brilliant experience with the regulator’, which is less bureaucratic and able to move at speed.
(Yeah, right!)
