  1. Also, starting legal action against the company that you are depending upon to save your life seems SPECTACULARLY short sighted! It's the metaphorical equivalent of sawing away the branch you are standing on.

  2. I agree, and this is EXACTLY the bureaocracy that we left to escape.

  3. "Saying that we need to vaccinate people in one country first doesn't make sense." Ha ha, nice try. It makes PERFECT sense. Britain has a duty to British tax payers, not EU obstructionists. No-one in Britain WANTS other Europeans to die, but our taxes paid for OUR wellbeing. Worse still, we have a far greater need than they do. Our lorries and our goods are sitting at ports, and you do NOTHING to ease their transit to your markets, but now that we own the company that makes the vaccine, you wanna pretend that we're all just part of one global happy family? Boys from the Dwarf huh? F**k off. If Bozo doesn't leverage our position to smooth future transit of goods, then he's a fool. We owe Europe nothing but contempt. If EU members are so infected that they are dangerous to allow in Britain, then they should be blocked, and vice versa. THAT'S how you deal with "we are all part of one globe," especially with nations that have spent the past 3 years being utter a**holes towards us. Right now, I'd be more inclined to share with Africa or Australia than Europe.

  4.  @JerzyFeliksKlein  1. Good, let the EU go get their vaccines elsewhere then if it's that easy. 2. If Astra Zeneca has a manufacturing capacity of a million doses per month (for instance), that is its maximum capacity. Stamping your feet and throwing your legal might around because you were too slow to guarantee that you would receive some of the first million doses accomplishes nothing but ensuring but distracting them from optimising their manufacturing. I would also note, that the company agreed to manufacture the vaccine at ZERO PROFIT. So they are providing a service to mankind, and the EU was simply too goddamned late to get in first. That's THEIR problem.
