I don't quite understand what this article means by "first dibs?" Can't they get other companies outside the UK to produce it? Are they seriously saying that they would withhold the vaccine from the rest of the world just so the NHS can get it first? Are they really going to manufacture the vaccine in one country and then ship it back to the UK and expect that country to be fine with it? What the hell?

Why not just give it to all the pharmaceutical companies and let them use their own resources to produce it so we can maximize production?

When I started thinking about it I realized this is going to be the way BoJo restores the British empire. You have to declare subservience to Britain or no coronavirus vaccine
