It’s clearly a supply issue as well as the fact that France and Germany are slow to vaccinate locally due to cultural reluctance around vaccines.
Countries like Ireland and Spain and Italy are going nuts because they can’t get the vaccine quickly enough. MOST countries don’t produce coronavirus vaccines so they MUST import.
The EU is currently failing to either adequately supply vaccine in your opinion, or distribute them adequately in my opinion. Or possibly both. Either way the EU is not working effectively in this situation. You can blame certain member states, but it doesn’t change the fact that the EU isn’t working.
I’m not stating opinions I’m staying facts.
Most countries in Europe and around the world don’t produce the vaccine.
Supplies are extremely limited, everybody is scrambling for that limited supply. No matter if the EU distributes or not you still have a big problem in many countries.
Just look at Taiwan ,what union are they part of ?!
It is called “Banter”.
However, back to the war scenario which I was not the first to bring up, they are never going to go to war with nukes. The EU never prevented all out war, the threat of mutual destruction prevented it. Russia would have swept over western Europe during the cold war without the threat of nuclear retaliation.
It is. It can work both ways though. I feel that a union obviously has benefits , more leverage in world affairs etc , but it can make things very slow. There is no doubt the union messed this one up.
It’s a classic example of how attempting centralised control of a group of decentralized players works out. The US response to the pandemic wasn’t dissimilar.
If you could go back in a time machine you may find being a lawyer would be a good occupation for you.as that reply was a good one but I am still with @BiggusDickus on this “Text book example” .
