The scientist whose modelling led to the original UK lockdown has said it would be a political judgment whether restrictions on households mixing should be relaxed over Christmas.
Why is anybody listening to this thoroughly discredited fraud? ALL his predictions are wrong, lesson in there
And to be fair, his model has been proved to be robust - his error was being conservative in underestimating the R number to produce the prediction that strict lockdown would limit deaths to 20,000
Shut it, you silly fool. People are laughing at you.
Why oh why do you give this man a voice? How many times does he have to get it so wrong?
If he couldn't even follow his own advice don't be expecting anyone else to......not that it was worth following
....says the man who in 2005 predicted 200 million could die of bird flu. Only 282 actually died. With his tract record why does anyone ask him his opinions anymore? Hope the govt. are wising up and ignoring him.
He's full of shit. Full interview with Dr.Yeadon.
Unlike to put their weight behind someone who's failed at everything they've ever done.
Neil Ferguson should be put on trial at The Hague for crimes against humanity.
What an arse. Post modernist academia in Stem is the real killer. This is just an opinion. The 0.0002%death rate speaks for itself
Piss off, Ferguson
The great misanthropist Neil Ferguson speaks; mixing socially at Christmas = death of the family.
Liar, fraud, rogue, charlatan. He belongs behind bars, but here's the Guardian giving him more publicity.
Why are you giving this hypocrite airtime? The guy is a bellend.
Says someone who has no right to be listened to, given their track record
I mean this whole heartedly. This man should be ignored.
Hey Neil you hate Christmas. He must not like a day of relaxation.
WHY IS THE GUARDIAN REPORTING ANYTHING THIS LYING WANKER SAYS, shame on you
Yet another do called scientist pontificating. Must be great to just sit there and spout out with no responsibility
Jesus, I think this clown Ferguson has done enough damage to the world economy with his crackpot predictions.
Thought he resigned for seeing his mistress during lockdown. He’s a liar - why are you even giving him space in your newspaper?
Political judgment? How about health and safety being the most important factor? People wish to keep living, I’ve been told.
Will some of these people he'll say will die at Christmas be part of the 450,000 people he said would die in the first place but up until this point, have forgotten to actually die? Can he tell us if its safe to spend Christmas with your married-to-someone-else mistress?
Shut up Neil
What about meeting up with friends for casual sex? Does that risk “some transmission”?
Perhaps the virus will take a holiday from infecting people out of respect for Christian tradition.
Does coronavirus take Christmas break in UK? Interesting.
Why is ANYONE giving this idiot the time of day? His computer games would have failed any A level student in terms of code and effectiveness and have been proven to be utterly incorrect every single time they've been used. The same guy that wanted lockdown then broke it.
Needs a rework that title.... Neil Ferguson: 'I talk complete shite'
It is a very big mistake. Not rocket science
Let's just leave it at 'its political'
Oh sod off neil_ferguson. Isn’t it time you updated your commodore vic20 computer models?
Wouldn't be upset of this guy was involved in a dodgy accident.
Didn’t he “ease” his own covid rules right into a married woman?
Let's all listen to the man that has been wrong on absolutely EVERYTHING in his professional life shall we?
The man who broke the first lockdown to get his rocks off with his bit on the side? He can fuck right off.
It’s in the eyes-narcissist.
Just about every prediction he’s made has been massively inaccurate. Don’t know why you keep giving him column inches.
For crying out loud. Keeping families apart at Christmas would be unconscionable.
No, scaring the government into a lockdown in the first place using your fraudulent computer models, after which you went off to bang someone else’s wife was a political judgement.
Big hand for the man that predicted the UK would have 3 times the number of deaths Brazil have had when Brazil has 3 times the population and considerably worse medical care. That’s a factor of approximately 9 too high. Cheers buddy. Wouldn’t let you count my change.
Speaking to friends and work colleagues, the general consensus is that people are going to have their normal Christmas Day regardless of what the government dictates.
