Vaccine wars in Europe

As rows continue over the safety and supply of the Oxford AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine, we ask how much of the argument is over genuine safety concerns and how much is political?

As rows continue in Europe over the safety and supply of the Oxford AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine, on Business Weekly we ask how much of the argument is over genuine safety concerns and how much is political? We also take a look at the pandemic within a pandemic: obesity. It’s the second highest risk factor for Covid mortality. But, how much of the blame should lie at the door of the food industry? Will a renewed focus on health change what we eat and drink? Plus, governments around the world are trying to build back better and greener from the Coronavirus pandemic. We have a special report on the steel industry, which is being pressured to become more environmentally friendly. And the Oscars are #notsowhite this year – we take a look at the nominees. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
