It seems that the UK government can envisage a time when the UK will have vaccinated everyone and then it will have vaccine to spare. Such vaccine cannot be kept indefinitely for subsequent use. It has a 'jab by' date. We gave large orders to 8 would-be providers with the clause that they had to produce a vaccine that passed our stringent tests. They all did so. Thus we will fulfil our contract to buy substantial amounts of all of them. When the time comes that all the UK population has been jabbed, the UK government will route the excess vaccine to Eire. Macron is absolutely f­ucking livid. But I fail to see why he is livid. We will be sending this vaccine to an EU c­untery. He should be utterly org­asmic.
