Living with Covid-19

Debate between Matt Warman and Boris Johnson

Monday 21st February 2022 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

That is exactly what the ONS survey does.

[Matt Warman (Boston and Skegness) (Con)]

It is the vaccination programme led by this Prime Minister that got us to the position we are in now, and it is the vaccination programme that will keep us out of lockdown, but what we know from the pandemic is that online misinformation about the vaccines costs lives. The Prime Minister took a very strong line on this early in the pandemic. As we continue to rely on vaccines, can he reassure me that we will not suffer online misinformation about vaccines that will continue to save lives?

[The Prime Minister]

Yes. One of the things that the online harms Bill does is try to tackle that kind of pernicious online disinformation.
