Neil Ferguson is the British academic who created the infamous Imperial College model that warned Boris Johnson that, without an immediate lockdown, the coronavirus would cause 500,000 deaths and swamp the National Health Service. Ferguson's model also influenced the US to make lockdown moves with its shocking prediction of over two million Americans dead. 1
Johan Giesecke, the former chief scientist for the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention, has called Ferguson's model 'the most influential scientific paper' in memory. He also says it was sadly, 'one of the most wrong.'
