Never mind BP and Shell, despite what the eco-loons and silly little girls like Thunberg tell us, we need oil and gas, and we need these companies to invest in exploration for more of it, which they cannot do if they don't turn a profit.

"Pfizer accused of pandemic profiteering as profits double. Drugmaker makes $37bn in vaccine sales and predicts bumper year ahead from Covid jabs and pills"

"The U.K. has used just 142 million of the stockpile of 650 million vaccine doses it purchased, leaving an estimated £4 billion worth of vaccines unused and, at current levels of take-up, likely going to waste. "
I doubt this will be concerning Pfizer executives and shareholders, and why would they worry, it's the poor old British taxpayer picking up the bill.
Covid ? Pandemic ? Woo Hoo !!! Bring it on, where's that next variant ? O:)
