HEALTH SECRETARY Sajid Javid was forced to apologise today after a wave of fury greeted his social media comment that the country should not “cower” from coronavirus.

Mr Javid Tweeted on Saturday that he had made a full recovery after suffering “very mild symptoms” of Covid-19 “thanks to amazing vaccines.”

But after then urging people to get vaccinated “as we learn to live with, rather than cower from, the virus,” he was deluged with thousands of angry responses, some from people who had lost loved ones and many from NHS and other key workers astounded by the comment.
