| They gambled (much as every government did). They got it very right with the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine, pretty right with the Pfizer one, although they paid a lot more per dose than the EU did because of reduced purchasing power (a bloc of 450 million vs 68) and were late to the party with the Moderna jab. If the J&J vaccine gets approved when anticipated that will be another win, especially as it's a shingle shot jab & the UK has ordered 30 million doses. All of this could have been done whilst still members of the EU, and in fact all of this WAS done whilst we were still bound by EU rules. |
