    Bloke in a petrol station, must be true then
    Maybe I should consult with your friend from the Spanish petrol station who is your "go-to" expert in EU matters?

    The twist about EU claiming dose made in UK plant seems to be the contract has ben signed while UK was still member of EU.
    hmm All laboratories struggle to produce as promised. Bad bad

    Well on that, despite the laughable source ( @dilligaf Marmite please), it's a confirmed information.
    There was also later a PIGGS derogatory name used (second G for Great Britain).

    BTW Keep up the insults, they are very amusing. Should we call you the Gammon of Glastonbury?

    Once again, lot's of talking around Astra Zeneca, but this vaccine from what I can read and ear about (eg Axel Kahn interview this am); is not the best technology anyway.
    RNA vaccines will be more easily adaptable to next variants, and faster to produce.
    The global vaccination process has certainly better chances to achieve with RNA.
    This EU vs UK snowball fight is really futile in a bigger picture context.

    I can’t see this ending well for the Eu.Even the German media aren’t impressed with either their lack of action or behaviour.

    My comment was not about EU or non EU and from a personal purpose I don't really care about that. No one has enough vaccine, everywhere.
    The Covid is now worldwide. Variants appear here and there, and spread quickly. For example in France the "english" variant is already 10% of the contamination, almost 50% in Paris area.
    All conversations are about a vaccine with a technology that will probably not be able to face the next years.
    The better solution seems to be the RNA way. That's all I was saying.

    Hmmm.

    1 - It doesn’t need to be stored at -70
    2 - It costs a fraction of the others
    3 - It appears to work as well
    4 - It seems to allow for a longer delay between first and second jabs

    But otherwise it isn’t as good as “the others”...?

    Yes all that is true. BUT :)
    It's less effective (by between 10 to 20% regarding test reports), slower to adapt if new aggressive variant appears , slower to produce.
    Moreover RNA can't be short on ingredient supply.

    To answer about the source of information. it's the eminent Axel Kahn world class geneticist.
    He is one of the knowledgeable about RNA and the hope is this technology, despite the exact cons you are pointing out.

    Sure if my country vaccines with the viral one, it's fine. But at a longer timescale and at a larger scale, RNA seems a better answer.

    I'm not a solicitor but I don't think its as simple as that. If it were the anti-eu mob would be all over it.
