Back in the UK? A new Covid-19 variant could be spreading here because western governments refused to provide vaccines to Africa in good time.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has reacted in typical slow fashion to the threat of a new Covid-19 variant from South Africa.
He said the variant “may pose substantial risk to public health” as it has “an unusually high number of mutations” and added that “we must move quickly, and at the earliest possible moment” to prevent its spread in the UK.
Too late, I think.
Two weeks ago #B11529 started in South Africa.
6 days ago England vs South Africa rugby union match in front of 81,623 people at Twickenham. Those people all left en-masse and went into London. Few people wearing masks due to @BorisJohnson's actions.
It's already here isn't it?

And if it is, our Tory government is probably doubly to blame.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t vaccine distribution to many African countries delayed because the manufacturers wanted more cash, and then because they couldn’t be used, having reached their expiry date?
Refusal to give Africans the vaccine gifted the virus a chance to mutate.

It’s no good saying Africa had managed to restrict the virus more successfully than the so-called developed nations if this has only given it a chance to become more deadly!
And it lends credence to conspiracy theorists who want us to believe organisations like our Tory government are using the virus and its variants to control us – pitching us from one threat to another while they follow their own selfish agendas in the background where they can’t be seen.
Think of the £300 billion spent on Covid-19-related commercial contracts, most of which were not honoured.
Boris Johnson and his Health Secretaries Matt Hancock and now Sajid Javid had the opportunity to show the world how to defeat a deadly pandemic and they didn’t. Instead they sank into a mire of duplicity and “let the bodies pile up in their thousands”.
It seems this latest scare is simply the next chapter in their catalogue of corruption.
