Whitty's former deputy Jonathan Van-Tam, who followed his erstwhile boss at the inquiry, summed him up perfectly at the inquiry. I'm the one who chases the ball, he said. Chris is the one to look at the ball first and makes a more qualified and thoughtful decision about whether it was worth chasing.
From Whitty this was far more excoriating a condemnation than the foul-mouthed insults of others exposed by the inquiry. Whitty is undoubtedly right in pointing to the confused nature of much of the debate around Covid when people began proclaiming on technical areas beyond their fields of expertise.
