EU hypocrisy28 Jan 2021 21:18
Let me get this right?
UK as a sovereign nation post BREXIT supported Oxford and AZ and ordered 100 million doses of COVID vaccine to vaccinate the entire population, manufactured from UK facilities, back in June 2020. Good idea, well done Boris.
The EU procurement folk dithered and argued and eventually ordered 400 million doses in Sept 2020 to be manufactured from EU facilities. That effort is still underway but has encountered some expected yield problems in the vats in Belgium, and there is at least a two month delay.
The Pfizer factory in Belgium has shut shown for extension work to meet expected demand.
Both of the French vaccines failed clinical tests.
So AZ is the only game in town, and some Cypriot woman wants UK to give up its vaccine programme to help those who are screwing us at Dover with customs rules? Get stuffed I say.
Then the Germans say they won’t use AZ on the most vulnerable, but they want it anyway.
First BREXIT win I have seen so far. The hypocrisy of the EU stinks to high heaven
