If he had said 6 months ago, that another lockdown WOULD be needed, then again that might've been foresight. Instead talking about the ending of lockdown, doesn't suggest that.

I think you are confusing foresight with fortune telling - are you Nadine Dorries?
Anyhoo, back to vaccine research...

The head of Britain’s vaccine taskforce is facing calls to resign after disclosing “official sensitive” government documents to a $200-a-head conference in America last week.
Kate Bingham*, a venture capitalist who is married to a Conservative minister, was appointed to the role by Boris Johnson in May despite having no vaccines expertise. She reports directly to him.
Last week Bingham, 55, spent an hour explaining the government’s strategy to a “premier webinar and networking event” for women in private equity hosted by a Massachusetts company.
According to a video of the event, she showed financiers a detailed list of vaccines which the UK government is closely monitoring and could later invest in. Bingham said: “We haven’t necessarily signed contracts with all of them so far. But they’re all in our sights.”
Several of the vaccines are owned or funded by publicly traded companies that those attending the conference could invest in, based on her insight. It is understood that ministers did not sign off her appearance.

So, the Head of the UK's Vaccine Taskforce (who's a Venture Capitalist) tells a Venture Capitalist conference which companies the UK Government may be investing in?
Sounds legit... 
*married to a Tory MP. Jesse Norman, 58, who is financial secretary to the Treasury and attended Eton at the same time as Johnson.
