British Prime Minister Boris Johnson initially thought the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus was just a “scare story” and “the new swine flu,” and even expressed willingness to be injected with the virus on live TV to show it was nothing to be afraid of, his former right-hand man in Downing Street has claimed.

Dominic Cummings served as Johnson’s top adviser in Number 10. But since leaving the government last year, he has been critical of his former boss.
