lol

that you think an act of charity like that would have to be covered up is a bit telling

Because if we did say we helped out, opposition MP’s and various EU politicians would all be making mischief and making erroneous claims, and you know it. If you don’t understand what would happen then ok.....

EU’s lead COVID-19 vaccines negotiator defends contracts

The European Commission's lead official on COVID-19 vaccine contracts hit back on Monday at suggestions that slow negotiations and penny-pinching were partly to blame for a shortfall in vaccine supplies in Europe. EU member states are far behind Israel, the UK and the US in rolling out...

This Ursula von der Leyen is proving to be a wet dream for anti-vaxxer sentiment.

Some countries started to vaccinate a little before Europe, it is true,' she said in an interview with French newspaper Le Monde when asked about Britain.

'But they resorted to emergency, 24-hour marketing authorisation procedures. The commission and the member states agreed not to compromise with the safety and efficacy requirements linked to the authorisation of a vaccine,' she said.

'Time had to be taken to analyse the data, which, even minimised, takes three to four weeks. So, yes, Europe left it later, but it was the right decision. I remind you that a vaccine is the injection of an active biological substance into a healthy body. We are talking about mass vaccination here, it is a gigantic responsibility.'

They won’t let it go, they just keep digging the same hole while trying to undermine the British efforts and decisions as a way of justifying their own incompetence. Not realising the immense damage they are doing to the confidence of the populations. But as long as they can get themselves off the hook then that’s ok......

She did teach epidemiology at university, whereas Johnson just made ambulances out of cardboard. It's hardly undermining confidence in vaccines to say that more time has been spent ensuring they're safe and effective. It might be undermining it in countries that spent less time, but how would it affect attitudes in Europe negatively?

That makes her actions, and comments all the more embarrassing and despicable then.

It's really, really bad.

Same with Macron.

It should be roundly condemned but, you know.... euroblind.

The headline writer has literally put words into her mouth. She's saying that the EU took longer to approve the vaccine because they wanted to ensure they were safe to use, and yet you're alleging that taking that time is somehow undermining public trust in their safety.

This is the original source at Le Monde - https://www.lemonde.fr/internationa...ion-europeenne-est-la-bonne_6068416_3210.html

Do please point out where in that article she says Britain is doing things unsafely.

Her comments have directly caused those headlines across mainstream media across the world.

Her comments are anti vaxxers wet dreams.

Despicable.

UK compromising Covid-19 vaccine safety, says Ursula von der Leyen

Britain failed its “gigantic responsibility” to ensure the proper safety of vaccines and the European Union should be proud of its strategy, Ursula von der Leye

Headline writers know how to get people wound up, yes. Just to reiterate though, how does her stating that the EMA took longer to check the safety of the vaccines undermine faith in those vaccines among Europeans? Indeed, given that the vaccines we're getting here have all been approved by the EMA, I'm not sure how they undermine faith in those vaccines here either.
