You are so disingenuous. The argument is moot to you because you are defending the EUs aggressive stance its taken on seizing vaccine exports.
This is so weak it hurts.
The EU is in the wrong here it has taken a spat with a company that operates inside and outside the EUs borders and has weaponised it against the U.K. not only are the EU are acting in bad faith but it’s leaders have also taken to dissing said vaccine a vaccine that you’re not bothered about but here you are complaining about the U.K. not exporting enough despite been on the doorstep and upto recently politically entangled to the biggest vaccine producer in the world. Again your own words.
There is NO SINGLE LEVEL on which UK/AZ actions are fair.
Not a single damn one.
Let's start with
moral:
UK is filled jabs, EU doesn't get promised jabs from the same company, yet keeps exporting it to UK in millions. Uh oh doh.
EU is TIMES behind on vaccination, still exports about half of what is produced there, UK exports zero.
Now to the
"but muh contract":
EU had a choice.
Do you think, they'd order as many jabs from AZ, had they known the way jabs would be handled this way?
And to the "
Boris magically boosted Vaccine development" don't we deserve more:
Note that AZ is a traditional vaccine that had been in works.
What Biontech did was neither nor.
Yet Biontech was the first to cross the finish line.
Was it again Boris?
and to the "
Boris boosted UK production capacity" don't we deserve to get more:
UK is already getting ALL stuff produced by AZ in UK.
Did Boris boost EU production capacity?
and the "
Fake issues with Astrazenica vaccine":
1) 2 young dead women in Germany (1.6m jabs administered)
2) dead nurse in Georgia (Republic of), 27 years old, about 3k jabs administered. To make it even more embarrassing,
she was promoting vaccination 30 mins before falling into coma.
3) dead 31 y.o. dude in one of the Baltic states
#1 German investigation concluded that AZ is likely causing a very rare form of thrombosis.
But as event is rare, still deemed AZ brings more benefit, than harm, resumed vaccination.
#2 Could be a fuckup by medical personell (not handling allergic reaction in a timely manner)
#3 Investigation is ongoing, symptoms as in #1
Of course it's a complicated business, of course even if you give pure water to millions of people, some will die. This, however, is not a tabloid level nonsense, but actual verified facts.
And now, ask yourself, given a choice to:
1) Wait and get vaccine without known problems of this kind
2) Take your chances with "maybe kills a couple out of a million" vaccine
and if you think this is a theoretical question for me: my mother (who, truth be told, is more into anti-vaccine camp, than not) outright refused to even consider AZ, after events #1, #2, #3.
So whom should I blame? Ursula? Merkel? Reporters?
