LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson told lawmakers on Tuesday Britain’s vaccine success was due to capitalism and greed, The Sun newspaper reported, in comments aimed at praising pharmaceutical companies for their work on COVID-19 shots. “The reason we have the vaccine success is because of capitalism, because of greed my friends,” The Sun newspaper quoted him as saying during a meeting with Conservative lawmakers to rally them to support coronavirus restrictions.

The Sun reported that he later added: “Actually I regret saying it” and that he asked lawmakers repeatedly to “forget I said that”.Britain is gradually easing restrictions under a plan underpinned by the success of the national vaccination campaign, which has seen more than 28 million people receive a first vaccine dose.

On Tuesday, an EU official said the European Commission will extend EU powers to potentially block COVID-19 vaccine exports to Britain and other areas with much higher vaccination rates, and to cover instances of companies backloading contracted supplies.

Excuse me, sir? Gary Busey would like his wig back.

Yes it did. Hence Pfizer / Moderna / J&J all clamouring to create products with good profit margins. Only AstraZeneca is selling there’s not for profit and at cost. Now you also know why so many other governments and news agencies have tried to rubbish it.

It also created the virus!

Clownish comedian spins a great joke! Boris’ picture reveals trouble with his big lie. Big Pharma got massive subsidies, sold preorder options for better queuing & supply. Throw in, NDAs-not revealing any secrets plus “immunity from prosecution”, no deals get sweeter!

With A Lot of public money funding then.... 🤷

Naah, taxpayer funded research made the vaccines possible. Capitalism allowed the virus to spread around the globe, while they profiteered off of the deaths.

Capitalism spurred individualistic society, incompetent government, failing system, total disaster in fighting pandemic. Then the PM of this country jumped out, turned a blind eye on everything above, and gave capitalism credit for its another profit-pursuing action. BRAVO.

Wow 😳

It's really hard to take this man seriously when he looks so much like Harry. It wouldn't kill him to cut that shit.

The billions of $$$ from the government is what did it, not capitolism

And a great reason to invent new viruses

This Fuckin Guy Again?

True.

Do they not have combs or barbers in that country? Savages!

Someone show this dweeb what a comb is for.

He's very ordinary looking without the frizz.

Yes... It's State Capitalism, which isn't really a good thing for anybody except for the few that control government.

At the public trough however.

Stay home - shop online

and here i thought it was the pandemic

Smartest thing I’ve heard Gary Busy say since 1987

Someone give that man comb and some gel. His hair needs to be tamed. Damn

🤣🤦‍♂️🤣

and he’s absolutely right

Interesting that the US tax payer gave 1 billion dollars for the development and production of the vaccine he is raving about.

Capatilsm funded by government.

It's true. Capitalism is king. Long may he reign

He does have a point.

thank you very much for your work
