[Margaret Pilkington]

The deputy Chief Medical Officer of Health(Jonathan Van Tham) has said in answer to a question.... 'Having the vaccine does not mean that pensioners can go wild, playing Bingo'
he has said that it is NOT known if this vaccine will prevent transmission of the virus.

What a trite and condescending comment from a man who is on the team which issues edicts about how we can conduct ourselves.
He talks like we are twelve and have not the brains to butter our own bread.
His comments take no account that we have been held in resrtictions of one sort or another since the 23rd of March last year...and that it is the majority of the older generations who are followinf the rules.

Does this man not know that places of entertainment have been closed down, that there is NO BINGO unless you live in a care home...that all social venues, pubs clubs theatre, classes have been severely curtailed.

Oh, but wait all of the efforts of these scientists have failed, so let's blame the population...they are an easy target.

It just shows the grasp that these people have on the real world...NONE
