Van-Tam Quits

2 min read

Sir Jonathan Van-Tam is leaving his post as Deputy Chief Medical Officer, the Health Secretary has confirmed. The Government senior adviser, who has become a household name, will leave his post at the end of March to return the University of Nottingham to focus on academic work. MailOnline has more.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid said he was “hugely grateful” for the “vital” role Sir Jonathan had played during the pandemic, and that it was an “honour” to work with him.

It comes in the wake of Boris Johnson issuing a grovelling apology to the nation for an event held in Downing Street during the first national lockdown.

The Prime Minister admitted it could have been seen as a party, but insisted he thought it was a “work event” – which was allowed by the rules at that time.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid tweeted: “It has been an honour to work with JVT and I am hugely grateful for his advice and the vital role he has played in our vaccination programme. I wish him all the best for the future at the University of Nottingham and their faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.”

Sir Jonathan was awarded a knighthood in the New Year’s honours list for his services fighting the pandemic. 

Rats fleeing from a sinking ship springs to mind. With Boris possibly fatally weakened, Covid on its way out, the narrative turning against lockdowns and the inquiry on its way, it seem it’s time to leave. How many more will jump?

Worth reading in full.

My GP did something similar in Sept 2020. He saw the writing on the wall and got the hell out of the NHS. Has Jonathan had enough? Can’t blame the guy, can you?

Joe Rogan said his doctor, Pierre Kory, is part of a group that has used Ivermectin to quietly treat 200 Members of U.S. Congress for COVID19. Dr Simone Gold, from America’s Frontline Doctors, told that she has prescribed treatments for Congress. She still believes in her oath, but she is vocal saying she has been contacted by many in DC. Can you believe these demons? Healing for them are OK but not for us. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Not ‘quitting’. The planned end to his secondment, to return to University of Nottingham for a Pro-Vice Chancellor role. If he’s no longer required in his role as Deputy Chief Medical Officer, it is a clear indication that this is over, although there will be plenty of people who have done really very nicely from Covid who will be trying to continue it for as long as possible.

Van Tam might think he is getting away with his role in genocide but he won’t, he needs to pay with his freedom for what he has done.

Van tam returning to academia at Nottingham University.

Given the way this creepy ******** has sought to undermine scientific method throughout the last two years I pity the people he will expect to work with him.

He got his gong, what is the point in staying. He may well get rewarded by the murderer of big Pharma in due course, but to be enabled he’d have to ‘bung Boris better’ than £3M

Jean-Claude Van-Tam can run, but he can’t hide. Really hoping he gets his comeuppance whilst poncing around Nottingham Uni.

Not sure it’s of any relevance but the Telegraph are running a very short piece about a Chinese spy working along side a member of parliament and that the speaker of the house has been informed by MI5, not to mix correlation with causation but interesting that Van Tam is stepping down on the same day….

Is it just me – but has anybody noticed that – just like the UK – Denmark govt has a very slick media presentation operation. Fancy studio/press briefing room type thing with 3 podiums – just like the fancy one in downing St which cost all that money?

Was there some central pot of funding for this I wonder? provided by BG or someone? To make the presentations look lock steppy and all dead presidential and official??

Not wording this very well but am sure you get my drift.

Jonathan ‘Don’t Blow it’ Van Tam, witch doctator extraordinaire, a Piltdown Man hoaxer masquerading as a scientist.

I wonder what hoaxer will replace him.

Van Tam is guilty of crimes against humanity, as future courts will clearly decide. His resignation means nothing. Nothing.

They cannot hide. Either they go to jail forever or the darkness wins. And then we’re all in jail forever.

Van Tam knows the whole truth about the Covid scam and the dodgy graphs – this is his excuse to leave the sh*t show before he gets in deeper – it does fortunately leave the chief villain, the distinctly ‘odd-ball’ Whitty looking rather exposed.

Van Tam It was who I saw at the Podium on TV saying angrily that masks were completely useless and a waste of time early in the ‘scamdemic’ – I have never forgotten.

Just goes to show that they are capable of speaking the truth!

( Is the “Sir” back in the return post I wonder?)

Expect more of this. The dam has burst and the trickle will become a flood. Remember their names, remember what they did, hold them responsible. Parliament should also be shut down. It’s a cesspit.

Same pattern in the USA too.
Fauci becoming increasingly shrill, CDC backtracking on ‘deaths from’ and ‘deaths with’, and it becoming clear masks/lockdowns/distancing have negligable benefit.
Add to this massive legal fees from vax injuries and broken businesses too.

As the pig dictator is skiving off work because a member of his family has tested positive for covid, I’ll now assume this is now a legitimate excuse for bunking off work. I would encourage anybody to have time off because their great aunts cousin has a cold.

Don’t forget that Van-Tam wrote in a paper (December 11) in respect of Omicron that “The impact of a third-dose vaccine is currently unknown”, all the while telling the public that is was highly effective.

He says different things depending on what hat he’s wearing, academic or pro-government.
