Scientists around the world affirm that unlocking UK restrictions is dangerous

 

Boris Johnson's decision to abolish practically all of England's pandemic limitations on Monday is a menace to the world, according to international experts, and will provide fertile ground for the growth of vaccine-resistant strains.

Scientists and clinicians warned at an emergency summit that because Britain is a worldwide transportation center, any new variety developed here will quickly spread over the world. They also voiced serious reservations about Downing Street's ambitions. More than 1,200 experts signed a letter to the Lancet journal warning that the technique could allow vaccine-resistant strains to develop. Government officials from New Zealand, Israel, and Italy were among those who raised concerns about the program. New Zealand's government adviser told the summit that he and his colleagues were.

“In Oceania, we have always looked to the UK for scientific leadership, which is why it is so remarkable that it is not following even basic public health principles,” mentioned a professor of public health at the University of Otago.

By the other side, Prof José Martin-Moreno of the University of Valencia, a senior adviser to the World Health Organization (WHO), was also present and said, "We cannot comprehend why this is happening despite your scientific understanding."

“Because of our position as a global travel hub, any variety that becomes prevalent in the UK will certainly spread to the rest of the globe,” confirmed the director of University College London's clinical operational research section, told the gathering. We are not the only ones who are affected by UK policies. Everyone is affected, and everyone has a stake in what we do.”
