Prof Jonathan Van Tam is on Radio 5 live at 9am

He's just been on This Morning talking a great deal of sense.

I thought that as well Kate1949 a balanced view and I thought he spoke well without getting bogged down in technical stuff.

Yes indeed sodapop

And he’s assured children that Father Christmas will be getting the vaccine ASAP. I knew we could rely on him!

I always feel reassured just listening to him. He comes across as a very sensible and no nonsense person.
I imagine he makes his lectures fascinating and understandable with his use of metaphors.
I thought he was excellent on This Morning. He speaks a lot of common sense.

And he was the only one to publicly criticise Cummings which is why he was sidelined for a while. Which is why I trust him.

Just commented about him on the vaccine post. I think he is brilliant — certainly the most convincing of all the spokesmen.

I agree with all of the above. It was wonderful to see him after the Cummings affair saying just what we were all thinking.
He puts information over very well!

He was on Breakfast this morning.

He inspires confidence.

I actually cried when I saw him on tv today.

I think JVT is lovely, too. I've been trying to find out if he is married and has a family but seems like he prefers to keep his private life private.

Well, we know he’s got a mum! And he loves her....

There's definitely someone who lives with him because he speaks of having conversations about this and that covidwise at home.

I think JVT is lovely, too. I've been trying to find out if he is married and has a family but seems like he prefers to keep his private life private.

Well he did refer to 'Mrs JVT' in one interview this morning... though I suppose that could be his Mum.

Looking at these posts we could start the Professor Van Tamm fan club on here

I bet he gets a knighthood. He deserves one.

Went up in my estimations over the Cummings fiasco. He speaks in a controlled manner and tells it as it is. No waffle.

His body language was interesting that day. You could see that he was preparing to say something very important and I’m pretty sure no one in the government was expecting it. That’s why he was sidelined for quite a while.
