Cummings said Johnson then asked Patrick Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser, and Chris Whitty, the UK government’s chief medical adviser: “What do you think about this?”
Cummings did not specify what response these top advisers gave to Johnson.
According to “Politico” website, Johnson and other senior politicians including “Matt Hancock”, the former health minister and “Rishi Sunak”, the current British prime minister, are supposed to give their testimonies and their narrative of the events related to the Covid-19 pandemic in the coming days.
“Helen McNamara”, the former deputy secretary of the cabinet of the British government, who played a key role in the government during the response to the epidemic, in her written testimony to the committee of inquiry about Covid-19, criticized what she called the “lack of humanity” in the then government while spreading the epidemic.
He stated, during the service of Johnson and Cummings in the British government, they had mainly marginalized female employees and created an unpleasant environment for them.
