Premier: Dr Weldon “Has Gone Above & Beyond”
“There is no way that I or Bermuda can thank Dr Weldon enough for her contribution to our fight against the Coronavirus,” Premier David Burt said, adding she has gone “above and beyond.”
The Premier was responding to criticism on Twitter following the most recent Covid press conference, with some people taking umbrage about comments made in relation to Dr Carika Weldon’s service and the impact of her resignation.
Dr Weldon, the Government’s Science Advisor & MDL Laboratory Director, has resigned from the position, with her last day to be on January 31, 2022.
The Premier — who is currently abroad attending a conference — tweeted, “Good Evening, I haven’t seen the full press conference however, there is no way that I or Bermuda can thank Dr Weldon enough for her contribution to our fight against the Coronavirus. She has gone above and beyond, & as I said on Monday I’m sure her service to our island will not end on January 31.”

Burt is away again? Does he actually live here any more, or does he just drop in every few um um weeks umum for umum a um um press um um conference?
Abroad doing the people’s business. Part of his job.
in switzerland ( nice cheap place) and doing BURT COIN crap again, isn’t there a very large empty office building near city hall ( soon to be renamed ) the PLP Palace sitting empty. Do your burt coin crap there
Never here, always missing, which is all part of why things are out of control.
Can you blame her for resigning? Having to put up with these morons and an inept and lazy civil service.
I can’t believe she lasted this long.
And Burt, ummm errrr, ahh….. your comment is too little too late. Your support of Dr. Weldon was needed while you all were off holidaying. You didn’t support her then, why all the sudden do you think she’s great now? Saving face for the bitterness of your Minister of Health??
I didn’t? How do you deduce that?
Grasping me thinks.
Ahhh… trigger happy… misread your comment
Trying to get back into the people’s good books!
Lazy Civil servants? You looking in the mirror again?
Look we have more than we need, we get poor service, ergo they are not fully utilized. Lazy.
Shows where his interest is VOTERS!
Burt must have been taking lessons from Flip Flop.
They hooking up with nurse barritt and dem, bringing back not the um um um um show

This just gets better, Burt backtracking embarrassingly.
Lost touch with the people David, living it up in Europe in fine hotels while Bermuda struggles.
At OUR expense.. But we the people are just pawns in his game
Notice how none of burtcoins supporters will speak out against this.
