Re: Seriously?
They are already raiding private companies and trying to block private business from fulfilling contracts.
You mean the same companies that decided they didn't have to fulfil their contracts with the EU?
The negotiations weren't perfect, though the biggest problem was probably the failure of the Institut Pasteur / Sanofi vaccine. But it did at least stop the 27 + 1 (Sweden is buying for Norway) competing with each other for vaccines, which would probably have meant Germany buying the lot. National governments were never prevented from finding additional sources, as Hungary has done with Sputnik V.
The headlines are poor but the underlying data shows that many EU countries are on track, though with less time between jabs than the UK, the % of first vaccinations is considerably lower than the UK. Denmark has even decided that it doesn't need the University of Oxford / Astra Zeneca vaccines.
And mortality rates are highly dependent upon the quality of primary care, which is why the UK is at the back of the class.
