It's the individual countries CIM not the EU (which kind of highlights your misunderstanding of how the EU works and why you didn't like it I guess) and as much as I don't understand why they are doing it I can't really believe this is politicking. It is madness though.
And we should really consider closing the borders to Europe at the moment with their cases going through the roof again.
Does anybody know - with the AZ vaccine requiring less critical distribution and storage conditions than the Pfizer one - whether stocks can be moved on to countries which would be happy to use them, rather than allowing their use-by dates to expire? I've read some reports of stocks being allowed to go to waste, which seems criminal in a pandemic and with numbers still on an upwards curve in some countries.
