Why have the likes of Macron been spreading anti Oxford vaccine nonsense? Lots of politics going on for me from EU member states.
The usual suspects trying to defend the indefensible though.
So it turns out that they were meeting today to say that there is no issue with the vaccine causing blood clots and that the member states that had blocked the AZ vaccine are wrong.
There we go.
Véronique Trillet-Lenoir, who is a French oncologist and an MEP, is asked by BBC News why the AstraZeneca vaccine is coming under more scrutiny than other authorised vaccines such as the Pfizer vaccine.
"We have maybe a specific regard on AstraZeneca. As you know, the firm did probably not fulfil all the commitments [it] made in the contracts with the EU. The vaccine is not that effective on the South African variant, so there are some warnings on these vaccines, which probably led the governments to be even more cautious on it."
No definitely nothing political at all
She's in Macron's party, hardly going to call her President out on his bollocks.
Could have not mentioned it - seems a bit Freudian
