Former health secretary Matt Hancock has announced his comeback as a United Nations special representative to Africa
Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now, part of the People's Vaccine Alliance demanding global vaccine equity, added:"Matt Hancock helped to block international efforts to allow low and middle-income countries to produce their own COVID-19 vaccines, leading to millions of deaths in the global south.
A statement from the COVID-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK said it does not know how Mr Hancock"has the time to take up this new role given he seemingly hasn't been able to pass emails from his personal Gmail account that relate to his handling of the pandemic to the Department of Health or government".
The report, which began last October and saw more than 50 witnesses interviewed, has prompted derision for the government's handling of the pandemic from MPs of all parties as well as former Number 10 adviser Dominic Cummings.dismissed the report as"laughable"
