A guilty and selfish no I think, so long as we continue to fund maximum production and distribution after we're sorted.

Is it not the case that with the exception of South Africa there is limited infection in sub saharan aftica? I am absolutely all for helping the pharma companies ramp up production and even for paying for doses for developing countries. Ship alllll the vaccines we wont use over there too, even send our doctors to help when we get things under control here too.

I think this view will be held by 99%of the public - we should give up our vaccines to the developing world.....once I've had mine.
I dont think so, for the vast majority of people, the act of getting the vaccine is simply to be part of the overall % vaccinated in the hope this is what gives us a life back.

I dont want it because I fear covid, I want it to be part of the "herd"

Our government and our government only want to keep us under restrictions indefinitely! Despite the fact it would be long term electoral suicide and cause huge social and economic damage, that's exactly what they want to do. I have no evidence they will make this inexplicable choice, but I'm certain they will!

^^^^ You, an idiot.

The Oxford vaccine should have been open source so it can be manufactured anywhere in the world but Bill Gates is a c**t so that's out the window.

The EU getting 100m doses off AZ by the end of March seems totally unrealistic given they are behind the UK in setting production so I expect this will rumble on.

If it had been open source who would actually have manufactured it?  Pharma companies developing their own vaccines wouldn’t commit their facilities to manufacture something at less profit than their own vaccine

Has any insight been given into Belarus? Of course, it would be impossible to trust any state published data, but it would be nice to see some analysis.

Doing a Norway with slightly fewer deaths than 2019 according to some sources online but doubt this will be getting any mainstream media converage in the UK any time soon and there are obvious reasons to be wary of official figures there.
