LONDON: British health minister Sajid Javid apologized for and removing the urgent tweet to take the Covid-19 vaccine and not “Chower” of the virus, said on Sunday he had made a “bad word choice”.
Javid, who replaced Matt Hancock as Minister of Health last month after his predecessor fell for violating Covid rules by kissing assistant in his office, has been criticized for using the word “Chower” when tens of thousands of people in the UK have died of the virus and many trying to maintain security.
Britain, which has one of the highest Covid official deadlock toll road, has shifted its strategy to fight Coronavirus from using restrictions to limit its spread to open the community on vaccine hopes to protect most people from serious illness.
The cases are high, but so after the Covid-19 vaccine, and officials think that shifts are needed to help businesses in sectors such as hospitality and the economy at night.
Writing on Twitter, Javid said on Sunday he had “removed the Tweet using the word ‘City’.” “I express my gratitude that the vaccine helped us fight as a community, but it was a bad word choice and I sincerely apologized.
Like many people, I have lost a loved one for this terrible virus and will never minimize the impact.
” On Saturday, he had written that he had recovered after testing positive Covid, after suffering mild symptoms.
“Please – if you haven’t – get your Jab, as we learn to live with, not Colly from this virus.” Angela Rayner, the Deputy Labor Leader, is one of several parliamentarians from opposition parties and people who lose family members to pandemics to criticize the use of phrases “from”.
“127,000 people have died of this virus, tens of thousands of them are still here if not for the failure of your government’s disaster,” he said on Twitter.
“So how dare you degrade people because they tried to keep themselves and their families safe.”
