UK Ministers Reject Former Aide’s Allegations on COVID-19 Response
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Health Secretary Matt Hancock have defended themselves against allegations made by Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s former top advisor in Number 10.
Giving evidence on Wednesday to the health and science committees of the House of Commons, Cummings said the government had failed the public during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, causing thousands of people to die unnecessarily.

He said his former boss is “unfit” to be prime minister, and said the health secretary should have been fired for lying on multiple occasions.
Queensland’s Mass CCP Virus Vaccination Plan
The Queensland government is preparing for mass CCP virus vaccinations in the last quarter of this year when Pfizer vaccine supplies are expected to increase by opening 14 hubs by the end of July.
Four hubs have already been stood up in the Wide Bay and Mackay regions, at Central Queensland University City Campus (Mackay), Bundaberg TAFE, Hervey Bay TAFE, and Maryborough City Hall, the state government, said in a press release on Tuesday.
A further three vaccination hubs will be ready in southeast Queensland in the coming weeks, and an additional seven hubs will progressively follow.

Chinese Regime Issues Conflicting Policies on Lunar New Year Travel as Virus Outbreaks Worsen
As CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreaks across China continue to worsen, Chinese central authorities recently issued conflicting policies on traveling during the Lunar New Year holiday, causing confusion.
And after months of authorities blaming local outbreaks on contaminated imported foods, the central government’s State Council suddenly did an about-face and said food is unlikely to spread the virus.
Some China analysts said the conflicting rhetoric may be due to the different priorities within the Party’s factions.
Meanwhile, locals in Harbin, Tonghua, and Shanghai cities told the Chinese-language Epoch Times that they knew of infections that officials did not report, leading them to suspect that authorities were covering up the epidemic.
