The UK has no ban on vaccine exports. It is more accurately the case that nobody has ordered vaccines from the UK except for the UK itself, because the UK had absolutely zero vaccine manufacturing facilities.
And of course it is factually false in any case: https://www.dw.com/en/australia-receives-astrazeneca-vaccines-through-uk-report/a-57129511 https://www.dw.com/en/australia-receives-astrazeneca-vaccine...
The EU (after encouraging other countries to invest in facilities in the EU) changed its mind and interdicted vaccines going to Australia. So they got some manufactured from the UK instead. But somehow it is the UK that is the bad guy!
