Aaaah, back to rabid EU bashing. I'm out.
Really, EU bashing when one reviews the facts and what they have done publicly to undermine their own vaccination programme without seeming to grasp the impact on public vaccine confidence. Whilst the population goes unvaccinated, Covid cases are rising and sadly with it a rising death toll beside the ongoing economic and social harm being done. Currently no apparent way out of the crisis. without resorting to new draconian laws, so self centred as to question whether they are truly a rules based organisation who believe in personal property rights.
They have at a single stroke inflicted such harm on their standing in the world and lead to disharmony between members and the EU and among member states with each other. The world looks on in horror and amazement and the likes of Russia and China see their sphere of influence growing by the day. The EU single handedly has given China and Russia significant soft power influence thru their vaccine availability and reduced the likelihood of any future vaccines being produced affordably for COVAX countries. Sure we have all got it wrong and the EU deserve a pat on the back for a job well done.
