The strong confrontation between AstraZeneca and the European Union with the French Minister of European Affairs Clemente Bon directly accuse the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company of breaking promises, while arguing that while the EU continues to export hundreds of thousands of doses of vaccine, the UK does not export a single dose to the EU.
“Europe has decided to punch the table” said or French minister, arguing that it is not possible to play nationalist games with vaccines, for some countries to show that they are artificially ahead of the vaccination race.
“If we don’t get our vaccines from AstraZeneca and the UK, AstraZeneca vaccines produced in Europe will never cross the English Channel.” highlighted Mr. Bonn.
While the World Health Organization reported the need to speed up vaccinations in the EU, The French Minister for European Affairs stressed that while EU member states really need greater efforts, WHO should nevertheless be more concerned with the situation in China than in Europe.
Sir. Bonn He reiterated that the objective set by the European Commission for vaccination 70% of European adults at the end of summer is achievableas around 350 million doses of vaccine are expected for June.
Faced with such a prospect of export control, the UK and the EU sought to find the gold section by announcing an agreement in principle for what “In the short, medium and long term: to create a win-win situation and expand the supply of vaccines to all our citizens”. However, despite strong criticism of the EU from the British press, he insists on AstraZeneca. “We are in the post-Brexit era. We do not care what the British public thinks, but what the European public thinks.”, characteristically declared European official.
This statement also identifies the motive for the ongoing war with the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company. For European leaders versus one Third extremely difficult wave of the pandemic by testing the resilience of national health systems and forcing them to re-impose restrictive measures, while some third countries are slowly but steadily preparing to return to some form of normalcy, it is difficult to explain how most vaccines are manufactured in the EU Member states themselves are behind the vaccination race.
Is also in progress a European civil conflict, with Member States as Austria, the Slovenia and Czech Republic to try to change the terms of the agreement on the distribution of vaccines collected in the common basket of the European Commission.
THE Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU launched a plan to help the EU member states hardest hit by the third and worst wave of the pandemic. Τητοι τη Bulgaria, the Croatian, the Estonia, the Latvia and Slovakia.
However, the Chancellor of Austria Sebastian Kurtz, the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Andrei Babis and the Prime Minister of Slovenia Janez jansa, whose country will in turn take over the rotating presidency of the EU Council, refused to accept it, infuriating all other EU member states.
In fact, the attitude of the Czech Andrei Babis It is almost impossible for their counterparts to interpret, since under the Portuguese presidency’s plan, their country would receive an extra 140,000 doses of vaccine.
These three European leaders are treated almost as unwanted people Almost all other Member States, to avoid harsh criticism from their countries for their inability to accelerate the vaccination program, blame Brussels directly, even though the market for vaccines has been mainly negotiated by Member States. a committee chaired by Austria itself.
The chaos continues with the AstraZeneca vaccine
Endless in Germany the uncertainty surrounding the AstraZeneca vaccine in Germany. Following the establishment of the Standing Committee on Vaccination (Stiko) on Tuesday only those over 60 should be vaccinated with it, those responsible now recommend those who have already taken the first dose with AstraZeneca do the second with another preparation. In Germany there are two other options: the BioNTech / Pfizer vaccine and the Moderna vaccine.
Speaking with Der Spiegel, Chairman of the Standing Committee on Vaccination Thomas mertens stated regarding the possible risks for those who have received both doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine that certain conclusions cannot yet be drawn, as few citizens have completed the vaccination process: “I think that those who have taken the first dose of AstraZeneca should receive the second dose with another similar vaccine. Animal experiments show that the immune system responds in the same way. However, it must be scientifically examined how effective it is in protecting people after having been vaccinated with two different preparations. I hope we will have more information available to us soon. “
Meanwhile, according to the news website of the second public television program ZDF, Chancellor Merkel and Chancellor Helge Brown had been informed since last Friday by the Standing Committee on Vaccination that vaccination with AstraZeneca should be stopped for those under 60 years of age. They did, however four days until the Ministry of Health announces the relevant decision. It should be noted that in the period from Friday to Tuesday, almost 315,000 people were vaccinated with AstraZeneca without being aware that there are serious scientific objections to the preparation with which they are vaccinated.
