Johnson's G7 vaccine vow slammed as ‘hypocrisy’
PM criticised as he calls for action to increase Covid jabs, while blocking action to waive vaccine patents

BORIS JOHNSON was called out for hypocrisy today over his pledge to vaccinate the world — having blocked plans to waive patents on jabs in favour of “corporate greed.”
Ahead of the G7 Summit, the PM said nations must set aside the “beggar my neighbour” attitude that led to squabbling over protective wear, medicines and treatment for Covid-19.
This evening, Mr Johnson pledged to donate 100 million surplus doses overseas after calling for the seven world leaders to commit to global vaccination by the end of 2022.
