Letter: Government 'floundering' IN reply to Mr Walsh (Craven Herald Letters, April 8) I would politely point out that Boris Johnson’s responsibility for the Astra Zeneca vaccine and the successful roll-out of the vaccination programme is overstated. Development of this type of vaccine was in progress before Covid-19 was identified and the Oxford team had learned how to scale-up production well before the government made the right decision to fund further development. It would have been nonsensical to do otherwise. Hardly a ‘courageous’ decision. What the Prime Minister was responsible for was the poor judgment that made the UK amongst the world’s worst in terms of Covid deaths per head of population.
