Leading scientist says UK has failed to act quickly against the COVID-19 epidemic

A leading UK scientist who worked on the Astrogenega / Oxford vaccine has criticized the British government’s handling of the COVID-19 epidemic in the early stages of the eruption. Sarah Gilbert, who led the team behind the Astrogenega / Oxford vaccine, said the United Kingdom had failed to heed warnings until too late for the outbreak, and that lessons had not yet been learned in some cases. Professor Gilbert, while talking to the Observer, acknowledged the government’s attempt to set up a vaccine production center, but said it would have been better if it had been operational by 2020 and that it would not be operational until late 2021. It’s too late.

Professor Gilbert also pointed out how the government had failed to heed warnings about ‘Disease X’, which the World Health Organization (WHO) had long warned against. Professor Gilbert also spoke about how everyone is still talking about the dangers of aerial viruses when it was already clear that the corona virus spread through the air after the MERS outbreak in 2015. The UK government is moving towards vaccinating 15 million people by February 15.

More than 4 million COVID-19 cases have been reported in the UK so far, including more than 116,000 deaths.
