I have voted that you will get 6-9 responses. However, the majority of these will be just that - responses - saying your request has been received. only 1-3 will contain any usable information or data. Indeed I would not be surprised if none of them are helpful.
Myra deserves a REDACTED medal for her REDACTATHONIC level of persistence! So, £££ spent on a vax for a virus that isn't the one that isn't killing humans? Who is the supreme top bod in Government who signs off this stuff ??
It appears all the contracts our countries signed during the covid fiasco are strictly off limits to peering eyes, which immediately makes clear they’ve got something to hide. The contracts with the manufacturers are especially hidden for the given reason of protecting intellectual property. Our regulators have ways and means to subvert any information they don’t want us to see. I would dearly love to see the contracts signed with the manufacturers, what did they have to agree to while being held over a barrel? Pharma has all the power, what else is new.
Out of respect for you gents, I voted. But as with other forms of democratic engagement, I can't escape the thought that it's a waste of time. It's nailed on that you'll get close to zero of anything of value back from FOIs. (An old saw has it that, 'If voting did anything, they'd ban it'.)
We could also expand the sweepstake to ‘helpful’ or ‘insightful’ or ‘useless’ answers….
On a different note I got some ‘insightful’ answers on my questions regarding the procurement of 5 million doses of H5N8 bird flu vaccines for humans….
Re the poll….I am afraid my answer is redacted because this may be commercially sensitive information.

I thought an extra choice of 0 to 0 should have been included - excluding an acknowledgement!

S/he signing off contract will be well protected, probably advised by JCVI or similar.

Could it be the barrel of a gun Vivien ?
