To those in UK still calling the EU's vaccine export transparency mechanism an "export ban": I don't think you'd like to know what a real EU export ban would look like.
A real EU ban would have meant 8 million fewer jabs in the UK last month. Three-quarters less vaccinations.

I've been hearing major anger from people in EU today who have just learned just how many Pfizer vaccine doses made in the EU have been exported to the UK, while AZ doses are not being sent from UK to EU.
Many asking if it's time for a real EU export ban.

I suspect these calls will grow louder if Johnson & Johnson doesn't meet its EU delivery schedule while still delivering to US.
The idea that J&J doses can be made in the EU and exported to Americans, but not vice-versa (because of US export ban) will be intolerable to people.

This is something #Biden needs to think about.
The EU is asking him to end the US vaccine export ban, at least for the AstraZeneca jabs being produced there given the US hasn't even approved it. He's not budging.
If the US ban doesn't end, the EU may be forced to reciprocate.
