I mean, the protests which lead to the sacking of US capitol would be a normal sunday for France, or even Germany.

It is a lack of trust in the government. If they say you should do it, it must be wrong. A heritage of the old communistic times.

@Jennyeq Please, if one nation know how to protest, its France. Meanwhile, protests in the UK are being made illegal if they are too loud...

@paul1979uk2000 The chances of getting infected when fully vaccinated are massively reduced, so is the chance of infecting others. The rise of infections is driven by unvaccinated, as are deaths.

@fashlordadrenochrome316 Because either side would use it for propaganda if there is any doubt. If both doing it, and all other nations, too, than it is clear that vaccines are both necessary and safe.

@Jennyeq You are wrong. While there is no 100% effectiveness, both risk of infection as well as infecting others is massively reduced.

@paul1979uk2000 Not most, but all.

@danielwebb8402 Lets think about what would have happened if EU nations would have acted individually (which they actually did, take Hungary as an example): My guess is that countries like Germany and France would have been quicker. Big and rich. Smaller countries like Netherlands, Scandinavian countries, Austria, maybe better, but for much higher costs. But what about the poorer countries? What chance would the Baltic`s had to compete against Germany? Bulgaria? Romania? They would have been out-priced quickly. Furthermore, as it is now proven, the EU is quicker than single countries like UK and USA, therefor your delay argument has been proven to be invalid. It is a marathon, not a sprint.

Doses per 100k takes all into account. If you have your population fully vaccinated with two shots, it would be 200k jabs per 100k population.
1
@dumpsterplayer2700 No, I am not wrong. That is why you differentiate between jabs per population and percentage of fully vaccinated population. Both numbers are available freely and used to show different facts.
1
@dumpsterplayer2700 If you want to know how many jabs in total were administered. Why are you so upset? It is a common number used everywhere, I was not the person who decided that. Even this video used it. And what is wrong with more information? The two numbers give you different information.
1
@dumpsterplayer2700 Total number of administered vaccines.
1
@TheLukass71 There is nothing normal about a global pandemic. And a lot of nations have mandatory vaccines. So it is quiet normal: you are only allowed to participate if you do not endanger yourself or others. Every certificate does that, be it a driver license or a vaccine passport.

@paul1979uk2000 The risk for hospitalization due to the virus is 1% (for under 18 year olds) up to almost 10% for above 70 year olds, in the unvaccinated population. This is not pretty small, it is not even small.
1
@paul1979uk2000 P.S. the chances of getting infected by the virus are reduced by 90% due to the vaccine. The virus is also quicker dealt with by the immune system, giving it less chance to mutate. Therefor, vaccination both reduces the risk of mutation as well as infection drastically.

@AlexChama CDU-Greens-FDP, or SPD-Greens-FDP would be my guess. AFD and Linke are both not capable.

@alberto1481 Overall around 88 percent of Covid patients admitted to hospital in Germany’s most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia have not had the Covid vaccine. Karagiannidis said this was likely the case across the country. Source: Most Covid hospital patients in Germany are unvaccinated, says doctor, DPA/the Local, 19 August 2021 As Germany has a vaccination rate of 60%+, but 90% of people in hospitals are unvaccinated, vaccination proves to be successful.
1
@danielwebb8402 Completely ignoring my main argument (support for poorer EU member nations) for the EU wide scheme. May I ask why? Hungary sourced vaccines from Russia or China, not AZ.

@danielwebb8402 It is called solidarity between partners. The rich ones use their purchasing power for the benefit of all, not only themself. It is also not an act of charity, but geopolitical implication: EU members can trust each other, and do not compete for life saving drugs. The big ones do not eat the small ones, but the catch of the big ones is shared. If you want the EU to function in the future, such acts are important to prove that solidarity is practiced, and no nationalist politics like UK or USA. So there is your EU benefit: if you are a small or poor nation, EU has your back.
1
@danielwebb8402 For countries with such integrated economies like The EU, having your own population vaccinated at the cost of your neighbouring countries is at best a zero sum game. It is not charity as it results in hard benefits: economically, as all nations can open up similarly and complex border controls can be prevented, as well as diplomatically, as it further increases unity among the members. The price for a nationalistic approach is high and long term.

@danielwebb8402 my car was searched for cherries when I crossed the US-Canadian border a couple of years ago. So how is this border different to the Eu?
1
Not any more. There are now millions of 12-17 year olds who got vaccinated, and following the data, the risk of the vaccine is much lower than Covid, especially the Delta variant which also has known and unknown long term health effects (lungs/heart/kidney failure, long covid...).
1
@PabloTBrave There are no long term effects of the vaccine that are not visible after weeks. There is not a single case of a vaccine resulting in long term health issues appearing months or years later. For a simple reason: the vaccine leaves the body in days. After that, it can not change anything anymore. There is a 1% hospitalization rate for children tested positive for Covid. Death is only the worst outcome.
