I am against the EU and Germany, says the magazine columnist. Spiegel, released today. As he points out, the EU purchased fewer vaccines than necessary and therefore Germany will not have them available to complete the vaccination of its citizens until next summer.
“The finding comes late, because for months it seemed that other countries would have more vaccines to start vaccinating and face the pandemic more effectively. watch. “But Brussels and Berlin were inactive, often on the grounds of complacency, such as that Europe controlled drugs better and more precisely than anywhere else in the world (…) The point is that now Germany will not have a sufficient number of Vaccines stop the pandemic until the summer, because the EU bought less (…) and is now renegotiating under the pressure of time.
The magazine recalls the optimistic forecast of the Minister of Health Jens span that 60% of Germans would have been vaccinated before the summer. And continues: “Late approval of your vaccine Biontech / Pfizer by the European Medicines Agency EMA is the smallest problem. Most importantly, the EU obviously bought fewer vaccines than it should have bought late and in part from the wrong pharmaceutical company. And it seems to have discarded hundreds of thousands of doses that are now missing. A dilemma with dramatic consequences is already underway for the German government. “Without large-scale vaccination … the fall and winter of 2021 could have the same development as this year with a high number of cases, contact limitations and hard block.”

For the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung commentator, the delay in the start of vaccinations compared to Great Britain and the United States will later go unnoticed. “On the contrary, what will remain for a long time is that Europeans are not divided into large and small, poor and rich.” notes the German commentator.
“However, there is no reason for complacency. Everyone knows that the vaccine that saves lives must be available and affordable for everyone outside the EU (…) The EU can be proud that vaccinations start in the 27 Member states at the same time, perhaps two days after Christmas. “What progress compared to spring, when borders were unilaterally closed and neighboring countries competed for protective gear and respirators.”
