It was a pleasure to welcome Prime Minister Boris Johnson to the UCLH vaccination centre at the Crick today. 💉 He met with our director Paul Nurse and COO Sam Barrell, and received his second dose of #COVID19 vaccine from Crick and UCL Cancer Institute clinician scientist James Black.

Congratulations to our Board member Kate Bingham, who has been awarded a damehood in the Queen's Birthday Honours today in recognition of her work chairing the UK's vaccines taskforce 🥂bbc.co.uk/news/uk-574277…

📝 The Government’s new innovation strategy has also launched today – featuring plans for a review of the UK research environment by our director Paul Nurse. gov.uk/government/pub…

I'm proud and honoured to have worked alongside scientists like James Briscoe and medics to help vaccinate people in North London. It's been amazing to be part of the effort to tackle the pandemic.

This is how much antivaxxers distort the truth - read Crick scientist David LV Bauer writing in the The Guardian about how his words got hijacked to scare people off vaccines:
