Dr Mike Yeadon: 'Stong evidence' of Covid herd immunity in the UK

Dr Mike Yeadon, a former chief scientific adviser with Pfizer, has claimed there is "strong evidence" that the UK has developed some herd immunity against coronavirus.

Speaking with talkRADIO's Julia Hartley-Brewer, the lockdown sceptic said it was shown by the "lack" of Covid deaths happening in London.

“It was about 200-250 a day seven months ago. I checked three days ago, it was nine - so about 90-95% lower".

Dr Yeadon also voiced concerns over the mass roll out of the newly approved Pfizer and BioNTech jab, because it was "too early" to know its the long term safety or effectiveness.

However, he did say that he was "pro-vaccine" and "not an anti-vaxxer".
