I think I heard that 130 countries have not begun vaccination, and that's mainly because a handful of countries have snaffled the doses. Hancock said the UK had reserved over 350 million doses. Doses earmarked for mainly fit over 40s would do more good being sent to health workers in unvaccinated countries but that won't happen.

This is what will hold the world back.
In fairness to the U.K. here they’ve been hit pretty badly with deaths and I think are probably right to be paranoid and want to lower the risk as much as possible.

Also they invested in the Oxford vaccine will be sold at cost so should go some way to helping poorer countries.
