Meanwhile......in the EU....

The EU has done nothing for the mortality rate, as the EU is not running the healthcare programmes in any of its members ( I dread to think what the mortality rate might have been otherwise). It is however running the vaccine programme across Europe, and it's doing it very badly. So much so that the Germans (of all people) are sourcing their own vaccines.

What? Wait, are you saying individual EU members have the right to decide themselves?

officially not about buying vaccine but Germany just ignores the rules.

EU has done better in terms of mortality rate and worse in vaccine provision. While the UK's record in vaccine provision is something to be proud of, crowing about it as though it proves how much better Blighty is the Johnny Foreigner seems a little disingenuous.

It's crass.

No, they don't. Germany is breaking EU rules. Can't say I blame them though, letting some Belgians run things isn't working out so well, even with a German in charge.

Look. There are people in this forum and this thread, who just need something to re-establish their sense of worth and affirmation that they didn't end up supporting one of the biggest acts of self-harm ever..

We need to be kind to those Brexiters still in denial.

Yes, you're right. The EU is tulip the UK is great. Everything done here by Boris and his government has demonstrated that the UK has a capable, competent leadership and the EU is short shower of tulip.

Whatever gets you through the night.

I prefer facts.

[NotAllThere]

For a given value of 'fact'

[AtW]

vetran prefers alternative facts

[Paddy]

Brixiters prefer comforting lies rather than uncomfortable truths.

No, they don't. Germany is breaking EU rules.

No they are not, every EU country is free to set there own approvals, strategies and procurement rules on medicines and vaccinations
