The then-Prime Minister said the condition was ‘Gulf War Syndrome’.
Boris Johnson’s description of long Covid as “bollocks” left experts shocked, saddened and angered, the inquiry into the pandemic in the UK has heard.
Professor Chris Brightling, professor of respiratory medicine, and Dr Rachael Evans, clinical associate professor and honorary consultant respiratory physician, both at the University of Leicester, told of their disappointment at the condition apparently being dismissed at such a high level. He went on to question whether Mr Johnson was saying “bollocks to the science”, which he said was “clearly wrong because the science was already quite compelling that this was a problem”.
Prof Brightling said the comments and the fact Mr Johnson’s view appeared not to change as the pandemic went on was “yet another unbelievable thing that happened”.
