I'm sure they are not completely dependent on UK supplies, but by the sounds of it, it will cause them some issues.
Either way, I very much doubt that's a card that UK wish to play.
- libertine 6y agoFrom the original source: >The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine recently announced contracts with the Germany-based companies Evonik and Merck KGaA to dramatically scale up the supply of lipids. >However, in a recent conference call with industry leaders and German politicians including Angela Merkel, the chancellor, Sierk Poetting, the BioNTech chief operating officer, warned that lipids supply remained the key bottleneck facing production of the Pfizer vaccine and said it would take up to eight months to boost production. Basically the UK would be hurting mostly themselves.
