If the EU want to keep trying to be spiteful and make demands like this, they are going to get a nasty shock.
So, they are threatening to block vaccinations the UK has legally purchased from leaving the EU. 1/ https://twitter.com/nickgutteridge/status/1354438135032279040

While at the same time making a demand that UK production of vaccinations are diverted to the EU. A vaccine that they are still yet to have approved by the EMA. Let me say this again in numbers, so you can see why the EU are being completely and utterly unreasonable. 2/
1. Block vaccines from leaving the EU to the UK.
2. Demand the Vaccines produced in the UK are sent to the EU.
Now does anyone still have an issue with Brexit? What they are trying to attempt here should make the member states feel ashamed, and embarrassed. 3/

AstraZeneca has shown that they are working on a "best effort" contract, that was made 3 months after the UK had a contract. They have put nothing into the development of this vaccine, yet are trying to claim they have "we agreed to buy it, so we therefore helped make it" 4/
No, agreeing to purchase a fully tested and in use vaccine, is not contributing to the R&D of the vaccine, the real issue here is that the EU have put the EUs interests above that of citizens wellbeing. They are trying to use this "argument" as a distraction! 5/
They have waited in the hopes that one of the EU 27 would produce a Vaccine that could be lauded around the EU, and they could say that "pooling our resources saved us all, look at this amazing vaccine we have made together" the fact is, that has failed. Their backup... 6/
..."AstraZeneca" is not a success for them, because they have not allowed member states to purchase supply (Ireland, were blocked) and they have not allowed the company to iron out manufacturing issues and get the plans up and fully running, they have delayed approving... 7/
...vaccines that other nations are using, and even criticised the UK government for "Vaccine nationalism" when it approved the AstraZeneca vaccine. It is no surprise that this dispute started when the 2 German projects funded by the EU were stopped as "they offered no protection"
And at the same time France announces its vaccine won't be ready for production (or delivering any doses) until some point in the summer. So they were holding off, until one of those came through, and they haven't so do they put their hands up and say we got it wrong? 9/
Nope. They create an argument with the UK made vaccine, because they believe that will help them, we "left them" so of course this is us trying to stop them getting the vaccine. They have mentioned that its about money, the AstraZeneca vaccine is not for profit! 10/
This has validated all of my reasoning for leaving this dystopian bloc of protectionism ran by arrogant, self-serving failed politicians that don't have any moral integrity! They looked on and did nothing while Italy's health service was collapsing. They provided nothing... 11/
...from their joint PPE/Ventilator scheme, and they have utterly failed with their Vaccination program (Which again the UK was slated by the Remainers for not joining!). Using this as cover for their failure won't work, the EU citizens are not stupid, they will see this for...12/
...what it is, and they will blame the EU. I hope to God this is the end of this stupid project, it failed years ago! People just refuse to admit it.
I am going to post a few links, the EU stopping Ireland from purchasing the vaccine on their own. Germany's vaccine failing...13/

...AZ's response to the EU, the EUs strange demand that AZ breach one contract to fulfil theirs "or else" and their threat to stop vaccines at the border (which we would have to do in kind, as well as stop the plants in the EU operating!) 14/

Remember those 2 points.
1. Block vaccines from leaving the EU to the UK.
2. Demand the Vaccines produced in the UK are sent...
If you have read this thread, the links and support the EU still, then you are beyond all hope. We and our companies are NOT their scapegoats! 21/21
