Pyro as Bill said:
Charles Michel had to backtrack after telling the same lies you are telling. Will you do the same? Oxford invented a vaccine 1/10th the cost of the nearest competitor and promised to provide it to everyone with no profit during the pandemic. If it was up to me, the EU wouldn't be getting any of the Oxford vaccine. The UK should be getting 100% of the first 140m doses. We should have ensured all of the vaccine was produced in a country that can be trusted even if it meant rollout took longer. |
This is the truth.
Az vaccine has production in europe, and some of it is shipped back to the UK.
Meanwhile, of the production of AZ in the UK, 0 of it has been shipped accross borders by the UK, it doesnt allow this.
The only reason AZ is able to sell them to the EU, is because it buildt the needed fabrication in the EU to do so.
Who invented (where the company is located) or who invested (both did, about the same time too), doesn't really matter towards what I'm saying.
The truth of the matter is the UK doesnt allow any vaccines produced in the UK, to be exported.
Meanwhile the EU, does, and has shipped over 9m vaccines to the UK.
UK has vaccinated 24m people.
Without the EU being nice to the UK, that number would only be 15m.
(if the EU acted the same way the UK did, it would not have gotten those 9m vaccines)
Now for some reason, you seem to think its okay for the UK to act one way, but not okay for others to act the same way towards the UK.
Double standards much?
Why does the UK always play the victim, and act like the EU are villians?
EU is thinking about acting the way the UK is (not allowing vaccines to be shipped outsides their borders)
"OMG the EU are villians! only we the UK have the right to act this way!"
One is actually already doing this (the UK), while the other is just thinking about it (the EU).
And the bad guy in all this is obviously the EU? who has been overlooking their own citizens plight to help other countries get their vaccines.
