Carol McGiffin was slammed on Twitter after a fresh Covid rant.
The outspoken 61-year-old Loose Women star took issue with Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Jonathan Van-Tam.
However, it didn’t take long for users of the social media site to bite back.
What a load of absolutely meaningless b******s. Scary made up numbers are the only thing they're good at. Unless of course he has evidence for it??? I'm guessing he probably has roughly none. https://t.co/ldYA5XOMTM

Why did Carol McGiffin lose it on Twitter?
Carol, an outspoken critic of lockdowns and vaccinations, quote-tweeted a quote from Mr Van-Tam given at a press conference yesterday (Tuesday (September 14).
In the press conference, Mr Van-Tam stated that the vaccine had “probably averted” around 24million Covid cases and 112,000 deaths.
It wasn’t long until Carol responded.
She called Mr Van-Tam’s comments “meaningless [bleeps]”.
Writing in response, Carol fumed: “What a load of absolutely meaningless [bleeps].
“Scary made-up numbers are the only thing they’re good at.
Unless he has evidence for it??? I’m guessing he has roughly none.
“Unless he has evidence for it??? I’m guessing he has roughly none.”
Carol’s response initiated another response – this time from angry followers who wondered what her medical qualifications were.
