We do not have the vaccines because of the EU. Companies in those countries are involved in the process of creating and manufacturing the vaccine.
The EU as a body didn't set any of that up.
- chki 6y agoSorry, I meant to say: Because the EU allows vaccines to be exported. The EU could in theory stop all exports which is what the US has done.
- breakfastduck 6y agoYeah, it's insane to give them credit for that though. They have absolutely no justification for doing so other than to cover their own arse.
- chki 6y agoDoes the US have the justification to ban vaccine shipments to other countries in your opinion?
- breakfastduck 6y agoI think any kind of arbitrary bans on exports are unjustified really. Not entirely familiar with how the US is handling the vaccine - are they banning exports of the vaccine which were funded by or purchased by foreign countries? Or are they just saying they're not allowed to make any new deals?
