I am in despair to still see articles saying: oh but the EU failed because the US vaccinated 38% of its adult population & the UK about 50%.
But these 2 countries didn't export any vaccines & the UK got 21 millions doses from the EU out of 31 millions vaccinated.
But these 2 countries didn't export any vaccines & the UK got 21 millions doses from the EU out of 31 millions vaccinated.
The EU allowed exports of 48% of vaccines made on its territory to countries which needed it. HOW MANY MORE WOULD BE VACCINATED IN THE EU IF IT BEHAVED LIKE THE UK AND THE US? 48% MORE. AND HOW MANY LESS IN THE UK? 21 millions less!
The EU behaved ethically & I am proud of it. And if now it blocks AZ vax from EU plants to the UK it is perfectly justified because the UK will still get its UK made AZ production + the EU Pfizer production (more than the AZ vaccines) + in a few weeks the Moderna vaccines. And
thanks to the EU behaving ethically & allowing exports of 21 millions vaccines ( until mid March, more now) to the UK, we are no longer in an emergency situation. The EU is (and maybe wouldn't be if AZ had respected its contract with it). I am utterly disgusted by the
coverage of the UK media. Thank you, Europe, for behaving ethically towards to all those countries cut out by the selfishness of so many nations.

Oh and for all those saying governments should not block exports of medicines because "they are made by private companies"...could you tell this to Mr Johnson ?
