Et les Anglais aussi ont désormais leur mélange de considérations « contre la petite clique de médecins qui auraient l’oreille du pouvoir » et de « on ne peut pas sacrifier l’économie pour quelques vieux ».

Ministers were last night accused of treating the scientist behind the devastating study that sent Britain into lockdown like a ‘demigod’ and failing to properly challenge his work.
Professor Neil Ferguson and his team of academics at Imperial College London last month produced a shocking forecast of 250,000 UK coronavirus deaths without a draconian lockdown, persuading Boris Johnson to abandon his more limited response to the virus.
But now Professor John Ashton, a former regional director of public health for North West England, has accused No 10 of relying on a ‘little clique’ of researchers and failing to consult a wider pool of academics.
‘These guys are being regarded as demigods,’ he said.
‘Here we are talking about science but this research is being given a kind of religious status, like tablets of stone from the mountain.’
