Obviously a wealth of experience in this field so what could possibly go wrong ? Just look at his 'previous'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55115037

Maybe it all makes sense when you look at Johnson's " previous " ? Someone who was sacked twice for lying,lied to the Queen and lied to two ex-wives, this bloke can't be anything as bad as the man who appointed him
No doubt his first decision will be to appoint a start firm run by a friend of Johnson to deliver the vaccine even though the firm has no distribution network and it's only current van is being repaired

Why do we even need a vaccine minister? Effectively it is just another NHS purchase with a few simple rules as to who gets it first. Cannot be that hard surely?
If only. What with everyone needing two injections, storage issues, and the manpower to administer on such a huge scale. I'm predicting a huge foul up of the logistics required to run it smoothly!
Thought the name was familiar. Bought a very interesting thought-provoking book by Mr Zahawi a few years back. Co-author... one Matthew Hancock
'Masters of Nothing: Human Nature, Big Finance, and the Fight for the Soul of Capitalism'

its little different to flu vaccine roll out which they do annually. the minister is there to show its important and to report to the house, opposition kept asking for one so there's someone accountable. he'll roll up each week to say how many hundred thousand people have been vaccinated, how well its all going, while taking questions on why the village of Upper Whipplethrope hasn't received any yet.
Pretty much what the title says really. 'Masters Of Nothing' is a play on 'Masters Of The Universe', Tom Wolfe's term for Wall Street's 'big swinging dicks' (Wolfe's term again). It was written in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crash, and argues that unless the creed of Greed Is Good stops being obscenely rewarded, then history is destined to repeat itself. Or something like that. Anyways, it's a good read. IMHO, like
