Dominic Cummings said the former PM shared a video of a man using such a device with his top advisers Sir Patrick Vallance and Sir Chris Whitty
Boris Johnson asked top scientists Sir Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance if Covid-19 could be destroyed by blowing a “special hair dryer” up noses, Dominic Cummings has claimed.
He said Mr Johnson also asked him to find a “dead cat” to get the coronavirus pandemic off the front pages of newspapers because he was “sick” of it. A so-called dead cat strategy is the political meddling of circulating striking claims in order to divert attention away from an unwanted story.Mr Cummings said that in autumn 2020 Mr Johnson asked him to “put your campaign head back on and figure out how we dead-cat Covid”.
Mr Cummings wrote: “A low point was when he circulated a video of a guy blowing a special hair dryer up his nose ‘to kill Covid’ and asked the CSA and CMO what they thought.” He also repeated a suggestion that Mr Johnson was working on a biography of William Shakespeare rather than the pandemic on a two-week holiday in February 2020.
