Did the UK just commit billions blindly?
"And the British government have actually committed to buy these products for the next 10 years. Now, they're not tried, they're not tested. We don't know about the efficacy. We don't know about the adverse reactions. But hey, we're going to buy them anyway."
In a short segment on Stay Free with Russell Brand, a speaker claims the UK government has invested £1bn in a Moderna facility being developed near Oxford, scheduled to produce 250 million mRNA vaccine doses annually. The speaker further alleges the government has committed to purchasing Moderna products for the next 10 years, arguing the technologies are being rolled out despite limited publicly available information and unresolved questions about efficacy and adverse reactions.
