British government adviser Van-Tam as media star
In the Corona crisis, the government medical adviser, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam (56), is becoming a media star to whom the British listen closely. On Wednesday, he impressed at a televised press conference in London with a personal call that high-risk groups in particular should get vaccinated against the coronavirus first. “My mother is 78, soon she will be 79, and I already told her:” Mom, make sure you are ready when they call you … this is very important for you because of your age, “said the epidemiologist.
The British media praised the fact that, unlike some colleagues at press conferences in Downing Street, the vaccination expert always spoke in a generally intelligible and calm voice. He is a royal authority in uncertain times.
Soccer fan Van-Tam also warned in his own way against too high expectations when wearing a corona vaccine. It’s like in the final of a play-off, in which the first player to score a goal on penalties. You know that victory is close, but: “You haven’t won the cup yet.”
