Probably a stupid question, Whitty & Vallance

[Babyfairy0923]

Where have these 2 gone & when exactly did we stop following the science? It all seems to have gone to pot since then? Why did we follow their advice for so long to then suddenly stop?

Because it’s just advice, and the government will not follow it if it doesn’t fit their politics or agenda.

I’m not sure specifically what you’re referring to but as advisors they provide advice. The government has to balance that advice against other considerations - social, economic, logistical, etc. - to make their decisions.

Right from the start, it clear the government have not always followed the medical and scientific advice to the letter.

They haven't 'gone' anywhere OP, don't really understand what you mean.
Vallance was at the last press conference on Wednesday, and Whitty's deputy (JVT) was there too.
They're still around and very active.
Probably banging their heads against a wall, because the government is cherry picking bits of their advice to suit their own agenda as always.

I think I read Chris Witty has been busy on the wards over Christmas.

I'm not interested in them, as they showed they use propoganda as much as the government in the press conference.
