AZ are producing the Vaccine all over the World, the EU will be getting 17% of the vaccine produced Worldwide for 5% of the Worlds population, with more to come. They are 100% deflecting, because they moved to slowly at the beginning, and the EU yields are subsequently poor in comparison to the UK .It’s not, it’s down to AZ, that’s why there isn’t a similar argument with Pfizer.
We really really don’t want EU production facilities for the EU, U.K. for U.K. etc. We’d be fucked already if everyone did that.
Israel supposedly paid $68 to get to the front of the queue. Still cheap compared to not having it.Especially when the AZ vaccine is estimated to cost only £3 per dose, compared to £15 for the Pfizer one and £25 for the other one
Heavy criticism thereBy defending do you mean posts like this in response to the Export Transparency measure?
‘No idea to be honest, it smacks of a panic move and the desire to be seen doing something. Short sighted in my opinion.’
Or predicting that invoking Article 16 would be binned by 10pm because it was a dumb?
See, if you just stick to the facts we wouldn’t need to have these little chats.
It's a matter of supply chain and distribution to key strategic locations. All EU designated vaccine is being manufactured in the EU. AZ owns the knowledge, they transfer that knowledge to the capable manufacturing sites and support them technically to implement that knowledge. This is called technology transfer.It’s not, it’s down to AZ, that’s why there isn’t a similar argument with Pfizer.

Not according to some on here, chum.

Bad Friday disagreementso much for Irish sovereignty.

They've always had a way with words, that lot.The Archbishop of Canterbury is getting in on the act.
He is quoted as saying 'The EU are a bunch of fucking cunts'.
Well in clerical language but that is what he is saying..
There’s a difference, some who support EU membership, ie me, do so on the premise only of it being beneficial to the UK but fundamentally our loyalties lie with our country. Now the EU aren’t acting in our benefit and are acting in aggression towards us, my natural position is one of defence.It's the perfect 'opportunity' (for want of a better word) for them to rightfully criticise the EU's actions and show to other's that they aren't just EU fanboys.
As you say, it is very telling and kudos to the ones who have done because we're all together in the criticism of this action. I'd say it's laughable but this situation isn't funny at all and do hope that common sense prevails, the EU holds its hands up and rescinds the invocation of A16.

Lay off them bob
I can imagine what you’d have said if we acted in the same way, your postings tonight have been in defence of them and you know it.By defending do you mean posts like this in response to the Export Transparency measure?

It's not difficult is it; you can still support the EU, advocate rejoining, yet on this occasion declare that the EU have acted like cunts.There’s a difference, some who support EU membership, ie me, do so on the premise only of it being beneficial to the UK but fundamentally our loyalties lie with our country. Now the EU aren’t acting in our benefit and are acting in aggression towards us, my natural position is one of defence.
