The UK scientist whose doomsday predictions triggered a massive lockdown on both sides of the Atlantic has resigned his government advisory position, amid claims he broke the strict lockdown rules he pushed to meet his married lover.
Professor Neil Ferguson, an epidemiologist of Imperial College, London resigned from his role as a senior scientific advisor to the British government Tuesday evening.
Admitting his error, Professor Ferguson told the paper:
“I accept I made an error of judgment and took the wrong course of action. I have therefore stepped back from my involvement in Sage [the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies].
“I acted in the belief that I was immune, having tested positive for coronavirus, and completely isolated myself for almost two weeks after developing symptoms.
“I deeply regret any undermining of the clear messages around the continued need for social distancing to control this devastating epidemic. The Government guidance is unequivocal, and is there to protect all of us.”
The professor is not the first government scientific figure forced to resign after taking a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do posture to the general public. Breitbart London reported in April when the chief scientific advisor for Scotland resigned her position after ordering citizens to obey the lockdown measures while breaking them herself in public.

Him - guilty
Her - not guilty
He must be a liberal/progressive/dumb*ss because he has demonstrated (first hand) the use of double standards.
Oh no, where will the CDC get its next round of doom models?
Our elites do the same thing here but they don’t have the ethical decency to resign.
I'll use that excuse too if I'm ticketed for violating social distancing rules when I get together with a few peeps for softball practice.......
can’t hardly blame him, I would have done the same thing.
Everyone knows that abstaining from sex for a long period is unhealthy. I know this. I went for an entire year without sex when I went to Vietnam and that almost killed me. Actually, the NVA are probably the real reason that I was almost killed, but going without for a year was not good.
“I acted in the belief that I was immune, having tested positive for coronavirus...
But everyone else can piss up a rope...eh.
LOL, some of my worst mistakes in my younger life were female oriented. Yea, a couple big faceplants.
You no had girlfriend Vietnam, baby? ;)
It’s England, so not softball, but cricket.

Crime doesn't pay.
If he could provide a photograph of his lover he might be pardoned...
