Leading scientists are calling on the Government to remove all coronavirus restrictions and allow people to ‘take back control of their own lives’ when the ‘roadmap’ to freedom ends in June.
With real-world data showing vaccines reduce the risk of death by 98 per cent and hospitalisations by more than 80 per cent, the experts say Covid-19 is being turned into a ‘mild’ disease in Britain, akin to the flu.
In an open letter to The Mail on Sunday, they criticise ‘confused and contradictory’ messages from Ministers and scientific advisers about the virus, which they say are exaggerating the real threat.
The signatories of the letter include Carl Heneghan - Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford

US President Joe Biden will host 40 world leaders on Thursday for talks on the climate crisis.
The virtual summit - which kicks off on Earth Day and ends on Friday - comes after the new US administration rejoined the Paris climate agreement in February, reversing former President Donald Trump s withdrawal.

Having the US back in the climate talks is hugely significant, Heather Alberro, professor of environmental politics at Nottingham Trent University, told Euronews.
