Help third world countries beat coronavirus utilising the Oxford vaccine.

What the petition asks
If the Oxford vaccine is effective and viable, then allocate funds to help in vaccinating those in poorer countries which need help.
The Oxford vaccine is cheap, and requires no special storage facilities etc. so is useful in countries where that might be a problem. If effective, then despite the present economic problems Covid has wrought, we should realise that it is hitting other people even harder. They need our help - and common humanity demands that we offer that help.
