Would it be adding insult to injury to ask for them back so we can speed up our vaccination drive further?  |
The issue between the EU and AZ was down to AZ not fulfilling their contract, simple as that.
Not sure what you are trying to imply by using the term "ask for them back". Those doses are nothing whatsoever to do with the UK, not our business what Germany or any other EU country does with them. There are certainly problems with public attitudes to the AZ vaccine in some EU countries, their media and press are just as bad as the UK press when it comes to stirring up bigotry and xenophobia, nationalism and prejudice. There are strong right wing groups and anti-vax brigades in many countries ready to adopt whatever inflammatory propaganda the media cares to publish. Just ignore them, it doesn't matter what Germany does.
