The board of the SA Medical Research Council has backtracked on its decision to investigate the organisation’s president, Glenda Gray, for comments she made “in her personal capacity” to the media about the government’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis.
Gray thanked the board in a statement on Tuesday for “having acted with the requisite urgency in its deliberations over this matter”. Gray has received support from leading scientists and academics. The Academy of Science of SA , and the committee of heads of organisations of research and technology, issued statements supporting scientists’ right to publicly express their opinions.Assaf president Jonathan Jansen said on Tuesday that public reaction and professional pressure against the board’s “impulsive and high-handed [response]”, resulted in the decision to halt the probe against Gray.
Very good thing for our democracy
The MRCza saddled the wrong horse here. It’s better for them dropping the investigation because scientists are not politicians. Scientist does not lie!
I'm sure she is very disappointed not to be able to take on these morons
Backing down....good!!
Read and Investigate, ask why zweli mkhize hasn't incorporated diet in his fight against nCov2. Virus-induced oxidative stress causes inflammation and can damage cells. ANTIOXIDANTS can reduce/manage oxidative stress, protect cells from damage and slow disease progression.
Because they have no case. Witch-hunt!
