John Bell was appointed to the UK Vaccine Task Force sometime before 1 July 2020. In this capacity he was interviewed by Jon Snow on Britain’s Channel 4 News on August 24, 2020 about when the COVID-19 Vaccine would be available. He replied that the vaccines might be available by Autumn, but continued that “These [COVID-19] vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilize a population. They're very likely to have an effect which works in a percentage. Say, 60% or 70%.” Jon Snow look visibly flustered, put his hand over his mouth, interrupted him, but did not ask for clarification.

In a "fact-check" done by AAP in April 2021, he clarified that:

"I was referring to the ability of the vaccines to completely eliminate viral replication (ie sterilise) and (it) had no relevance to fertility,”.
