    The factories making the AstraZeneca and Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in the UK - Business Live

    The East Yorkshire headquartered smart science specialist is supplying an ingredient used in the Pfizer BioNtech Covid-19 vaccine.

    The carrier is used to transport the vaccine's active element into the body.

    It is produced at sites in the UK and US.

    The company is remaining tight lipped on where the drug delivery systems will be produced, confirming only the UK and US, with domestic production thought to be heading to Pfizer’s Belgian operations.
    So a different article then and also being manufactured in the USA, slightly disingenuous

        You sure about that? By the amount of threads and posts that you do regarding the EU and Brexit, I think you're realising that you ****ed up and are trying to assuage your conscience

            The UK is a third country the Express makes it look like the EU behaves only to the UK like this but it's towards all non EU countries who want to steel their vaccins. You voted to leave now live with the consequences.

              The consequences seem to be the EU is way behind on vaccinations, their predicted supplies are limited because they ordered them too late and they are now sabre rattling hoping they can deflect their citizens from reality.

              Not really consequences I "need" to live with.

              All my older and at risk relatives have been vaccinated or have appointments.
              I will probably be vaccinated in a few weeks.

              > 7million vaccinated.

              I see the Netherlands are at ~ 150,000. Switzerland is doing much better than that

              Barmy's adopted country is at <2 Million.

                  After years of negotiating for no hard border in Ireland and 20 odd days into a EU deal

                  the EU play the NI card

                  COVID-19: PM expresses 'grave concerns' over EU controls on Northern Ireland vaccine exports | UK News | Sky News

                  Suddenly realising it is a back door into the EU.

                  They really are trying to cover their backsides.


                  "Boris Johnson has expressed his "grave concerns" to EU chief Ursula von der Leyen over Brussels' decision to introduce controls on the export of COVID-19 vaccines from the bloc to Northern Ireland.

                  The prime minister had previously called on the EU to "urgently clarify its intentions" and Number 10 said it was considering action over the move to potentially stop the unimpeded flow of jabs into the region.

                  Brussels on Friday triggered Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol that forms part of the Brexit withdrawal deal.

                  Stormont's First Minister Arlene Foster described the EU move as an "incredible act of hostility" that places a "hard border" between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic over the vaccine supply chain".

                    They've changed their mind about the article 16 shenanigans.

                    EU in U-turn over move to control vaccine exports to Northern Ireland | World news | The Guardian

                    Brussels has been forced into a humiliating U-turn in the face of outrage in London and Dublin after seeking to trigger a Brexit deal clause to establish border controls on vaccine doses moving into Northern Ireland from the Republic.

                    The European commission was forced to backtrack on its plan to effectively erect a vaccine border on the island of Ireland after both Boris Johnson and the Irish taoiseach, Micheál Martin, spoke personally to its president, Ursula von der Leyen.

                    EU sources said it had acted “in error” but the crisis highlighted the growing political furore over the lack of vaccine supply and tensions with the UK.

                      "stealing vaccines" from the EU? You diehard Remainers, no wait, Rejoiners, crack me up!

                      The UK signed a contract with Astrazenica three months ago, while the EU was (and still is) faffing around, and the UK agreed to pay over the odds.

                      You voted to leave now live with the consequences.
                      The consequences of having ample vaccine supplies when the EU still has practically none? No, stop it, my sides can't take any more!
