Gordon Brown calls for richer countries to airlift surplus Covid vaccines
The previous UK prime minister has known as for richer international locations to instantly airlift thousands and thousands of surplus Covid vaccines to much less developed nations.
Gordon Brown informed BBC Breakfast that the danger from new mutations in international locations that do not have entry to vaccines implies that “no one is protected wherever, till everyone seems to be vaccinated all over the place”.
Mr Brown has organised a letter, signed by 160 former world leaders and world figures, calling for the excess doses to not be wasted as hundreds die with the virus every day.
It’s addressed to Italian PM Mario Draghi, who’s internet hosting the G20 group of main economies in Rome this weekend.
