SAGE Panic-Mongers Are Back

by Toby Young
10 July 2022 12:30 PM

Susan Michie, the Communist member of SAGE known as ‘Stalin’s Granny’ because she once smuggled hard-left pamphlets into a Labour Party conference in a baby’s pram, is once again demanding another lockdown. Although, come to think of it, I don’t recall her ever saying it’s safe enough to come out from under our beds. MailOnline has more.

A Communist-supporting SAGE advisor has claimed that “lameduck” Tories will “sit on their hands” and ”let Covid rip” as virus cases are set to hit 350,000 every day next week.

Susan Michie, the Professor of Health Psychology at University College London, warned new variants that are “even more infectious” will lead to unnecessary deaths and hospitalisations.

More than 2.7 million Britons were infected with Covid last week and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) weekly infection survey found up to one in 16 people in the worst-hit parts of the U.K. were carrying the virus in the week ending June 29th as cases rose nationally by about a fifth.

Professor Michie told the Mirror: “We don’t have a public health policy for Covid right now and if we don’t act, we’ll get variants that are even more infectious and these will lead to increased hospitalisations and deaths.

“The number of people with long Covid will increase significantly beyond the current two million and the country will be continuously disrupted with some sectors in danger of grinding to a standstill in the Autumn.

“The Government’s policy seems to be, ‘Shut your eyes and let it rip.’ But the NHS is on its knees and public health experts, SAGE and Independent SAGE have been predicting this since July last year, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.”

Worth reading in full – or not, as the highest-rated commentator below the line points out: “Her outlandish claims are not even remotely borne out by reality. It’s now just a cold. Time that bitter old Communist retired now.”
