Dear Mike

The lack of equitable global vaccine distribution should be a source of great shame for Britain and other rich nations. Some 100,000 lives have been saved in the UK because of 100 million vaccines. There are millions of vaccines sitting in Europe and America that are unlikely to be used for months. How many more lives could have been saved in the rest of the world if global leaders had created an effective distribution system which met the targets it promised? No matter how efficient our own vaccine rollout has been, it will always be undercut by this failure.
