It's funny isn't it. So much vitriol from English posters when the UK was ahead with the vaccinations. They called the EU vaccination programme a shitshow, lots of faux concern about the EU killing it's elderly citizens, the conviction that this was going to break up the EU.
Now several European countries have overtaken the UK not a peep.
Ah! Selective reading.
Vitriol against EU for slowing things down.
Not against European countries who were trying to get hold of vaccines.
Against specific politicians for their ill thought spouting of crap, all across the world, UK included.
A lot of speculation about who shot John with comparative data about the various vaccines, incomplete understanding of the science and a jolly good scary headline! All of which turned out to be bollocks and still the EU are chasing 'reparation'!
Funny that the UK has started to send its promised 100million doses of vaccine does abroad, 5 million in the next month. The US has started sending its promised 500million doses.
France sent the first batch - 100,000 doses of AZ - remember those stored unwanted doses of that ever so dangerous vaccine they had? They used some of it to inaugurate the G7 donation plan. Macron wants everyone to send 5% of their vaccines, despite many countries having already pledged far more, basically Macron has 500,000 in mind for an immediate response, UK 5million - an order of difference.
It's not as simple as some have ever wanted it to be. Politicking rarely is!
Actually nor is 'this country has vaccinated more than that country" It depends on what data you look at!
According to WHO as of yesterday
UK has 123.6 doses administered per 100 people.
Ireland 111
France 102
Spain and Portugal about 114
Canada 124
Russia 34
India 32
Much of Africa 0 - 2
What is there about those figures that makes anyone want to crow?
