This evening, he reportedly told members of the Conservative 1922 Committee: "The reason we have the vaccine success is because of capitalism, because of greed my friends." He also said pharmaceutical giants were behind the vaccine success, hailing how they 'wanted to give good returns to shareholders'. Mr Johnson today said: "There's no point in one country being immunized on its own. The UK has ordered more than 150 million vaccine doses in total - 100 million from AstraZeneca, 40 million from Pfizer and 17 million from Moderna.
