Yes, I should have been more precise (but it's not wholly relevant). He studied medicine at university level for 3 years, which (considering it was also Oxford) would no doubt have required a high aptitude to get in as well as a decent grounding in terms of knowledge. So, you would've expected he would have a decent enough idea of how a virus works, how immunity works, how useful NPIs are, etc etc, even if his knowledge isn't specialised enough to practise medicine; more so than journalists or Karen off facebook anyway. Additionally, being a businessman in a trade which has been affected by covid he would also know other aspects of the response and how this translates to the effects on combating the virus.
A great deal of what he has said about covid has (with hindsight) turned out to be true... Esp the point I was making about vax immunity vs natural immunity, which kind of makes vax passes somewhat pointless...
