Why would we not put our trust in scientists?

The right-wing press turns its attention to trying to discredit the scientists who recommended the lockdown. But why would almost all of the scientists pursue it if it wasn't in good faith?

Lockdown: not so absurd anymore, Prime Minister

Boris Johnson said Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's call for a nationwide lockdown was the "height of absurdity". 10 days later the Prime Minister announced that England would go into a month-long lockdown to stop the NHS from being overwhelmed. Not so absurd anymore. This is a catch-up version of James O'Brien's live, daily show on LBC Radio. To join the conversation call: 0345 60 60 973

Please Sir, can I have some more?
