The Covid-19 pandemic has swept across the world causing heartache, financial turmoil and controversy like few health-related issue ever before. Two years of Covid-19 has cost millions of lives and billions of pounds, but could many lives and pounds have been saved?
Where do we go from here,how do we make sure that the whole world gets access to, and uses, vaccinations?
Are the stark inequalities we’re seeing specific to the virus or has this pandemic uncovered and exacerbated underlying problems in society?
Did we really ‘follow the science’, and what science?
