World Leaders Covid-19 Jab Poser

The Coronavirus vaccine does put the World leaders in a bit of a quandry, if they are amongst the first to have it to show it is safe then they are accused of jumping the queue, if they don't have it then they will be questioned why tell everyone else to take the jab if they are not willing to do it themselves.
Of course some will be amongst the first anyway, our very own Boris Johnson is obese and 56 years old so is clinically vulnerable according to the Governments own definition which moves him up the pecking order behind NHS staff, care workers and the over 70's and over 60's.
Obviously if the likes of Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro had got a grip on it from the very start like most of the Asian countries instead of ignoring the warnings about what was coming our way then maybe we wouldn't be such massive haste to get their citizens innoculated and the grim death toll wouldn't be quite so awful but they played politics and people needlessly died and continue to die because of it.
The Worldometer Website shows that as of today, there has been over 75 million cases Worldwide and 1.7 million deaths with the USA topping the grim death table with 318,522 deaths, then Brazil with 184,992 and India 144,914. The UK is 6th with 66,052 but with Winter and the coldest months only just starting, and with the Festive Season kicking off imminently, that number will unfortunately rise substantially.
Two Thirds of the UK is now in the highest Tier of lockdown but still the Government refuse to back down over their relaxing of the lockdown rules for 5 days over Christmas and with a figure of approximately 20,000 new cases each day in the UK, a more tighter lockdown is almost guaranteed
for us in January which only proves that our current Prime Minister should be the last person who should be in charge during a crisis and this bunch of Conservatives have been even worse than i imagined they would be, and i had the bar set so low for them that it was practically touching the floor.
As my area is in Tier 3 now along with many others, i don't expect us to be dropping down the lockdown scale much before late March and the vaccine has been jabbed into the 60%-70% of arms required to bring about the much heralded 'herd immunity' and then we can step out into Boris Johnson's new look Brexit Britain, so you may want to stay indoors anyway.
