The UK amongst other countries hogged loads of vaccines and have got a stockpile of loads that we perhaps won't even ever use yeah so creating artificial scarcity first of all why stockpiling but also by not allowing the production of generic vaccines. There's an argument that this protects future innovation but certainly when we're in the midst of a pandemic that was killing millions of people it does seem like a really quite twisted logic to be thinking about money rather than human livesYeah well it's the ultimate test isn't it you know anyone can it's like actions speak louder than words there can be lots of conversations between politicians about how much we care for everyone and everyone's equal.
