Professor Neil Ferguson called a ‘fucking murderer’ by audience member during pandemic lecture – so at least one person was telling the truth that night
The scientist dubbed ‘Professor Lockdown’ at the height of the pandemic was heckled during a lecture by an audience member who said he was a ‘murderer’ and ‘a disgrace’.
Epidemiologist Professor Neil Ferguson was delivering a talk at King’s College London earlier this week when he was interrupted by a woman who began berating him.
In a video clip posted online by a group known as Resistance GB, Prof Ferguson – who insisted on strict restrictions in 2020 – is heard saying: “I think the real long-term legacy of this pandemic is going to be the enhanced inequity that it has generated.
“Basically, the young sacrificed an enormous amount to save the elderly and that’s exacerbated into generational inequity.”
He is then interrupted by the woman who shouts: “And what for?”
As another member tries to tell her to be quiet, telling her that questions will be at the end, the woman says: “I don’t know how anyone can sit through this nonsense, you’re a f*****g murderer.”
Walking out of the lecture theatre, she adds: “You’re a f*****g murderer… you’re a f*****g disgrace.”
A clip of the woman outside sees her add: “The guy’s just evil. There’s something not human about him. That’s it. And I’m glad I told him he was a f***ing murderer.”
It comes as experts suggested that Covid cases in the UK have probably peaked for 2021.
