I would say the self-criticism is happening: even the President of the Europeen Commission is not happy [1].
My favorite part is this:
“We were late in granting authorisation. We were too optimistic about mass production. And maybe we also took for granted that the doses ordered would actually arrive on time”
As of wether the "restructuring" is happening, too... we'll have to see [2].
I suspect in the EU vaccine rollout, in the end, will only be a couple months overall behind that of UK and USA. I'm not sure historians will notice.
If "being late by a month" is such a terrible feat, than everyone should be ashamed of not being Israel or Bahrein, anyway;)
Now, let's hope we don't get any bad surprise in the future. (I know, I know, more knowledgeable people are reassuring us, and I have to trust them, but my guts are still not ready to fully picture a "happy" ending anymore.)
