Astra Zeneca Vaccine 08:57 - Feb 7 with 877 views | Churchman | There is an interesting article on the BBC website regarding the above and a BBC programme going out tomorrow. Basically, it’s about how self interest, commercial interest and nationalism undoubtedly led to the unnecessary deaths of 1000s of people. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-60259302 I also noticed the rather cutting comment ‘More than a quarter of the 10 billion doses of Covid jabs administered globally have been AstraZeneca, a vaccine created by a small team at a British university and sold at cost. Other Covid vaccines, by contrast, have created nine billionaires.’ Ouch. The distribution of vaccine around the world and politics surrounding it has been appalling. Will there be any lessons learned? I doubt it. |  | | |  |

That was shameful politicking by Macron at the time. |  |

Shameful by Germany too and the US come to that. I get the political needs and the interests of big pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer. The true cost though was borne by the many people that died unnecessarily - but nobody cares about that which is why I doubt any lessons will be learned. |  | |  |
