£200 million: how much the swine flu scandal is costing UK taxpayers
...after some idiot forgot to put cancellation clauses into the contracts with Big Pharma.
After the banks were bailed out for billions upon billions, £200 million sounds like a drop in the ocean... inconsequential.
But think about it. You'd have to win the UK's Saturday National Lottery draw every single week for a year to amass that amount (52 weeks @ £4 mill = £208 million).
That is a staggering amount of money.
An amount of money we're gifting to Big Pharma due to incompetence (?) for a health crisis that was all hype and no substance.
Outrageous.
