Headlining the Herald this afternoon is the lower of the two images above. It doesn’t tell a lie it just avoids telling you more truth.
Especially when they see ‘Scottish expert’ what percentage of Herald readers will think that Jeane Freeman and colleagues will need to learn?
The professor is clear, referring to the UK Government three times in the text but never to Scotland or to the Scottish Government. It seems clear who she thinks has to learn.
Why doesn’t the headline mention that? Oh, no doubt we’re all being paranoid and anyway there wasn’t enough space for it!
The article twice reminds us of the professor’s former role as Scotland’s chief scientific adviser and one further time tells us that she is president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Makes you think she must mean the ‘Scottish Government?’
Anyhow, to cheer you up, sit down first, then have a look at this below the article:

The usual partial truths to mislead whoever reads this rag, no wonder they are going down the tube, but is Westminster funding them. If so that is how they are clinging on, for now anyway.

The Vaccine Better Work and Soon
Re. Second Wave of Covid-19 the UK (England) has a real problem here. There is a desperate need to get the economy up and running. B U T yesterday BBC Scotland’s Ken MacDonald said that the UK’s daily new infections were greater than the total for 27 EU countries.
Although the UK has been in Lockdown for over 2 months, the required actions (eg. stopping international flights at beginning , continuing test & trace, putting in travel bans for infection hotspots) haven’t been taken to get on top of pandemic.
The economic situation is such that a further period of lockdown coupled with a flight ban and T&T is unthinkable .
This is what lies behind Westminster pumping resources into developing a vaccine. It’s all that stands between the UK and an economic and health catastrophe.
