"Separately, EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders ramped up the war of words by accusing the UK of starting 'a vaccine war' and saying that Britain has shown 'a lack of solidarity'.

'The EU commission has pushed to co-ordinate the vaccines contracts on behalf of the 27 precisely to avoid a vaccines war between EU countries, but maybe the UK wants to start a vaccine war?

'Solidarity is an important principle of the EU. With Brexit, it's clear that the UK doesn't want to show solidarity with anyone,' he told the BBC."

Ha ha. We should show solidarity by not vaccinating the UK population and letting folks die?

This is the new argument for being part of the EU?

How are the mighty fallen! If Europeans weren't dying because of these sorts of idiots, I'd be belly laughing.

Ouch.

The EU is 5 months behind the UK in ordering the Novavax vaccine as well. It is 90% effective. The UK has 60m doses ordered and the UK is where the doses get manufactured.

Poor old EU Health minister Stella Kyriakides. Incompetent who clearly has got where she is by shameless bullying. She's trying to queue barge to mask her own failures in signing second rate deals. But she's exposed again as not getting the contracts signed early. And so EU citizens are going to be out of luck again.

No one reading the EU contract with AZ reads it the way she wishes them to. It's a best efforts contract. The best efforts terminology doesn't end simply because she wishes it to. These contracts don't work like Greek butchers shops where you can push to the front of the queue because you feel important. You need the contract to specify your rights under the terms of the deal, or you don't have them.

She's just making it up as she goes along.
