I don't doubt the intentions, to be honest this is a chip on the shoulder that I have from that period.
Back then I tried to wrap my head around the whole delays of vaccines, when some propaganda were saying that the EU was being "cheap" and bargaining for cents, costing time, with the famous Boris quote, paraphrasing, "we have a better deal".
Only to find out that one of the major setbacks that caused the delay was in fact liability terms.
The EU wanted to share liability so that pharma was not completely off the hook, and had some skin in the game - and I'm fine with this decision, even it costed some weeks of delay.
I'm also fine with USA and UK decisions, it's just the framing and propaganda that was despicable... it wasn't a better deal, just different terms and demands.
I think this whole coronavirus period made me sick of politics.
