CAMPAIGNERS called on “hypocritical” Boris Johnson yesterday to agree to a Covid-19 vaccine “patent waiver” to allow faster worldwide manufacture and distribution of the jabs.
It comes ahead of a virtual G7 summit hosted today by Britain, during which the Prime Minister is set to talk about improving access to vaccines in developing countries.
