What the petition asks
Boris. I’m a UK adult who asks that once we’ve vaccinated high-risk groups (and healthcare workers) in the UK, please ensure that the supply of Covid vaccines is provided to other high-risk groups around the world before you vaccinate me. We’re in this together. Me. You. And the world.
It is clearly morally the right thing to do, but it’s also economically the right thing to do.
Let’s stop a move towards protectionist policies and attitudes. It’s a short term policy. And it will harm us all.
