Lots of lessons will be learnt about globalisation and nationalist behaviour from this pandemic.
And it isn't going to the poor. It's going to everyone in the population, not specifically the poor so stop with the 'they are poor then need it more' line. You could argue the really poor aren't in the system to receive it anyway so I'd be willing to bet the better off will be making use of this.

**** that. For some obscure reason over the last year we've given them £98 million to stimulate growth despite them heading for one of the top economies over the world, let alone the money we've given in foreign aid for christ knows how long.
The fact it's produced there is a benefit to them. They can't be stealing the products for themselves just because they fancy it. We didn't keep our money because our needs mean we should have spent it here so why this. I can't believe there is more of an uproar over this.
******* disgrace it is.

Now India is banning vaccine exports
Actually I sort of support this , their need is most definitely greater than ours. They are manufacturing under licence so its not like we are providing massive support. They are apparently shipping to other poor countries which we don't seem to be doing.

India prioritises 'its own needs': Delhi accused of causing one-month UK vaccine delay by stopping export of 5m AstraZeneca doses and there could be MORE shortfalls - but ministers insist it WON'T delay end of lockdown- Serum Institute of India has been told it must supply its own citizens before exporting vaccines
- One batch of five million doses of the AstraZeneca jab bound for the UK has been delayed by a month
- Ministers insist the UK is 'still on track' to hit April and July targets, and people due a second dose will get one
- But hiccup means plans to expand jabs to under-50s have been put on ice until May at the earliest
