He has served as Chief Medical Officer for England and Chief Medical Adviser to the UK Government since 2019. Nicknamed "Britain's Fauci",[1] Whitty supported a China-style policy of lockdown to deal with the China virus in the UK, a policy which John Hopkins University has proven to have been ineffective.[2]
