Laurence Fox says ‘the virus is in your mind’. Twitter disagrees

Worried about a winter Covid wave? Don’t be – esteemed virologist and all-round good guy Laurence Fox says there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Fox, a prominent vaccine-sceptic, took to Twitter to proclaim that “the virus is in your mind” – and “logic, common sense and reason” are the best treatments.

Not, you know, those life-saving vaccines that seem to be working so well.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter did not agree with Fox’s judgement.
