>And why doesn’t the E.U. send police or military to stop shipments from leaving the E.U. if they are in violation of contractual obligations or law? Well, they are, and that is when you see the UK media accusing EU of 'vaccine nationalism', all the while Europe being one of the major exporter of vaccines, while UK & USA export zero. > But also, as E.U. member states are suspending the AstraZeneca vaccine why is it even a problem that the shipments are leaving the E.U.? The safety of the vaccine is under examination & completely unrelated to the procurement issues. Europe has not cancelled the order & still expects it to be fulfilled if the vaccine is deemed safe after the review process is done > I find the response and handling of the entire situation by the E.U. to be a bit perplexing. It's quite perplexing because we're all reading about it from the english speaking media who are a bit biased about it to say the least
