You’ll have to elaborate.

Gladly.

The EU exported 25 million doses of coronavirus vaccines in February to 31 countries around the world, with Britain and Canada the top destinations, just as the bloc saw its own supply cut drastically by pharmaceutical companies. Ban or no ban, Britain is not exporting vaccines authorised for use at home, and has administered nearly 21million doses, the vast majority of which has been produced in the EU.

Fact checks have proven this wrong

They have based on the UK Foreign Office's comment, which isn't a great source. The EU maintains that - while it is technically correct that there has been no specific export stop, the UK has used other legal mechanisms - including procurement laws and dubious contract clauses - that have resulted in the same outcome.

Is the UK exporting any vaccine? No. Is the EU exporting a lot of vaccine? Yes. Are EU factories being used to supply the UK before the EU against the contract that AZ signed with the EU? Yes.

I'm not saying the EU is completely in the right either and definitely has fucked it badly in some regard, but the claim over vaccine nationalism from the UK is frankly ridiculous. Plus it has literally nothing to do with Brexit...the vaccine procurement scheme by the EU is voluntary.

(Also this is a nude forum and I'd rather not discuss with any brexiteers)
 
When you say “the EU has exported”, you mean “vaccine producers in EU countries”. Not quite the same thing.

In terms of the AZ contract with the EU, it’s subject to interpretation but speaking as a lawyer, the EU got it wrong and AZ is in the right.

It arguably doesn’t matter given the suspension of AZ use by a number of EU countries and VDL’s latest insane outburst.

I’m with Tom on this one. Besides, he’s hot. Nice guy too.
 
Politics aside he’s handsome, the kind of Tory blue-eyed boy I’d secretly want to use and humiliate me. Does anyone have any pics they could DM me of him? :)
well you'd have to stuff a sock in his gob to stop him spouting utter bollox
 
The disastrous EU vaccine programme would say otherwise

Each country has its own programme - that's why they can suspend its use. but, hey, facts... oh and what about the businesses going out of business and the economy tanking?

Yes when I say the EU exported, I of course mean vaccine producers in EU countries given only the Russian vaccine is state produced so far...which is the same for vaccine producers in the UK that aren't delivering anything out of the UK.

Thanks for your legal opinion but it is besides the point.

Also great to hear that you are with Tom on this one, but not sure what this has to do this. As you might be aware - as a lawyer - this is completely besides the membership of the EU and countries were able to join voluntarily or do their own thing (e.g. Hungary)...this is not the Brexit dividend we've all been waiting for.

that's because there is no Brexit dividend, unless you happen to be a corrupt hedge fund ass
 
“The EU maintains that - while it is technically correct that there has been no specific export stop...”

Your honour, I rest my case.

Remoaners will never admit they are wrong and we’d be up shit creek/harwood bottom without Boris and our wonderful vaccination program. Meanwhile the EU did manage to unite Ireland and the loyalists... against their vaccine policy! That is quite an achievement! Now they seem to be saying the same risk of clots from taking the pill is worth old people dying.
