Hancock admits he got his vaccine strategy from a Hollywood movie
Contagion: Matt Hancock (in his own mind), yesterday.
Tory ‘Death Secretary’ Matt Hancock has admitted he decided to order 100 million doses of anti-Covid-19 vaccine – not on the basis of expert advice but after watching the Hollywood blockbuster Contagion.
Matt Hancock tells Nick Ferrari he was inspired to order 100 million doses of the Oxford jab instead of 30 million because of the film Contagion, which taught him there would be a scramble for the vaccine.@NickFerrariLBC | @MattHancock pic.twitter.com/H8SQiVM9hw

I know.
You feel safer just knowing that he’s in charge of this, don’t you?
No?
Join the club, then.
So cool to learn that millions of lives rested on the Health Secretary one day happening to put on Contagion rather than Shrek

Matt Hancock confirming that his response to the pandemic was helped by watching Contagion while Boris Johnson got a similar benefit from watching Mr Bean
