Don't let it be about money!

I hope the government isn't short sighted enough to think that cost is the reason not to role out the vaccines. My daughter having Men W has cost the NHS and will continue to do so for her whole life millions in care and rehabilitation for her injuries, this cost for one persons care could have funded hundreds of vaccines I'm sure.

Totally agree and really feel for the individual and each family affected by this short sighted decision, particularly in the future. Ok for the wealthy who can, and will, pay for the vaccine.
