The EU's vaccine bust-up with AstraZeneca is partly of its own making | Leo Cendrowicz

of the EU’s population by this summer is wildly off – at the current pace, the bloc as a whole would reach only 15% by the end of September.

Imagine the guardian being the lap dog for big pharma. Who would have thought we would see the day. Embarrassment to all 'independent' journalism.

It's all their own making. EU showing their true colours. What over 17 million of us knew about them years ago. EU bullies

I’ve just seen a pig flying and has hell frozen over ?

This didn’t have to be the outcome, Help Us Help You, the C1 technology has potential to help manufacture billions not millions of doses of Covid vaccines monthly more affordably using standard microbial fermentation vessels globally $DYAI EU vaccines

Christ even the leftwing pro EU defending Guardian criticising the all mighty big nuts EU!

It's good to see you not being a complete EU homer, but it's not PARTLY of their own making. It's wholly of their own making.

Israel have HALF of their population (10million) vaccinated already. European average is 2 % now. This shows how SAD JOKE is European Union and how useless are thousands of bureaucrats in Brussels.

Handling vaccine procurement together might've seemed more fair and efficient to the EU, but they have messed up on this one. That has allowed the whiff of nationalism into the debate As on many things in many countries in this pandemic, they need to accept mistakes and learn.

Anti UK Leftwaffe comic.

Jan_S_B_459 Partly

I bet you clowns stayed up all night agonising over that headline.

The guardian total waste of space.

With every variant and mutation of the virus one vaccine is unlikely to be enough anyway. Being the next problem faced by all?

If the shoe was on the other foot, you can guarantee all the blame would be leveled at our government and the EU would not be helping us.

Completely of its own making.

you misspelt entirely

No , the EU is not upset because of “Brexit-tinged rancour”, just FYI, no one in the EU remembers the UK anymore.

Partly 😂😂 and I bet he had to grit his teeth as he typed it 🙄

Partly?

Does anybody know the legalities of us not holding up our contracts for other countries if we were to give the eu what they are demanding

The company has said that the distribution of the vaccine will be at cost price. The company is not making a profit.

Angela Merkel could fix this for the EU by draping a giant beach towel over AstraZeneca's HQ.

I’ve always been pro Europe, and still hold to those fundamental ideals, but I’m absolutely disgusted with the attitude of the EU towards the vaccine distribution. They haven’t even approved the bloody AstraZeneca virus !!

If you remove partly from the headline it’s far more accurate.

You printed an article not so long back telling us that our medicine agency would be 6 months behind the EU and US in developing and future medication. How did that end up?

Brilliant reason to leave EU, we would have vaccinating no one if left to them thank goodness we are out

In another EU vaccine contract, it states - 'the timeline for scaling up the production of the product may be delayed' They haven't got a leg to stand on if this is included in the AZ contract.

I take that as a full on cock up by EU then as there doesn't seem to be any other party at fault in that article. That must have been really painful for the Guardian to print?

Brexit was good after all

The remain campaign centred on the UK blaming the eu for all its ills. Freed from eu restrictions the UK remedies those ills. The eu now is blaming the UK for its ills. Separation from the eu is vindicated already.

Entirely of its own making! U.K. for once, did something right and it’s driving them mad in Brussels. Notice how the U.K. government have said barely a word about the matter. It’s all a rouse to stop people blaming the EU for costing lives.

Partly? Fully you mean...

Well the british barged in to take all the vaccines at the start. So it's definitely boris johnson's fault

Partly?! 😂
