@detritus To quote Matt Hancock directly:
"I wasn't going to settle for a contract that allowed the Oxford vaccine to be delivered to others around the world before us. I was insisting we could keep all of the British public safe as my primary responsibility as the Health Secretary."
- detritus 5y agoSo, not an Export Ban. Gotcha. Thanks.
- fundatus 5y agolmao, how is that not an export ban in all but name. AZ literally wasn't allowed to export vaccines from Oxford/Keele until the quota set in the contracts was reached.
- rsynnott 5y agoI mean, if you're being _very_ pedantic, it's not an export ban. It's just a non-export ban measure which has exactly the same effect as an export ban. If you think that's a useful distinction, well, okay, I suppose, but for practical purposes it was an export ban.
