For eight months I have been listening to the “experts”, under the guise of Sage, epidemiologists, professors, scientists, doctors, mayors, physicians, MPs, broadcasters and even members of the public, all of which think they know best, but all have different opinions about something that they tell us is “unknown”.

All they have successfully achieved is to divide the country and encourage people to argue, demonstrate, fight and refuse to comply with any rules put in place.

What a breath of fresh air to read that 1.5 million experts in the vaccine industry have actually been silently working together throughout the world in the same direction and singing the same tune. It is music to my ear.

I am sure they may disagree at times, but they still work to find suitable vaccines and share results to support mankind in ways to beat this destructive virus. This is a pandemic, which is not an area where politics should even take place.
