Pause UK vaccinations until other countries have vaccinated high risk groups

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Pause the UK vaccination program for under 50s.
Donate the vaccinations that would have gone to the under 50s to developing countries so that they may vaccinate their front line health care workers and over 80s.

Now that the UK has vaccinated most all adults over 50, those left have virtually no chance of dying. Covid-19 is a global problem and the situation is some other countries (e.g. India) is dire. The UK, as an outward looking global power, is in a position to help others who are in a much worse situation than ourselves.
It is an opportunity to define what 'Global Britain' means, and lead the world by example.
