Report: Rowan Williams tells government: take the lead on vaccine equality
“Something has to be done about this. If our own country really means what it says about taking a leadership role in this meeting, and in the world, if all this stuff we’ve heard about global Britain is not just waffle, then I think it’s time for our own government to step up and say this is necessary.”
– Lord Rowan Williams
