Here’s another big scandal that the media have completely ignored… According to UKHSA’s annual accounts, £1.09 BILLION of Covid vaccines were purchased but then thrown away when the government decided to restrict access to Covid boosters. That’s 43.9 MILLION vaccine doses!

⚠️The NHS once protected us. Now, millions of Clinically Vulnerable people are being told we don’t qualify for a Covid vaccine - even as new variants spread. This is a dangerous, preventable mistake. #KeepCovidBoosters

If you thought it was bad enough that the govt destroyed over a £1 BILLION worth of Covid vaccines after limiting access to them… …then just wait until you hear about the £1.8 BILLION worth of antivirals which also sat on the shelf until they expired and had to be destroyed.
