It is a question of perseverance, we in the EU are being consistent, even in doing stupid things.

I'm not surprised there is mutiny in the EU when it comes to sourcing vaccines. The member states shouldn't have to be forced to obey a political system that should be ending infections and covid deaths instead of prolonging the situation.

I genuinely applaud the 27 in ignoring the failing commission and finding alternative paths to vaccines.

I just did some research about it. The German magazine "Der Spiegel" reports today, that it is true, that the EU comission plans to focus on BionTec/Moderna/J&J/... vaccines instead of AZ in the future. *However* they say, it does *not* mean that no AZ vaccines will be ordered.

The Italian newspaper "La Stampa" had reported earlier, that the EU was quitting AZ. The EU comission said this was not the case.

Meanwhile Denmark has quit using AZ and relies on other vaccines.

Does this show that either Denmark does not "obey their German superiors" (thanks Bread for lending me that phrase) or that the member states are sovereign in their decision?

Re: J&J Vaccine on Hold in the USA and EU

Is it in Ursula VdL's job description to ban all vaccines not produced in Germany?

The member states are disobeying the commission and gradually re-taking sovereignty just like they did when they closed borders

I am afraid that you are wrong here. Afaik health is not an EU issue, it is the members issue.

Besides, to be more prcise, your phrase was "your German rulers" and I wrongly quoted earlier.

Anyway, as long as there are vaccines produced, I do not care which one I will get.

You mean like denmark? They abolished the AZ vaccine, too much outdated technology. Perhaps the russians want to buy your stocks of it?

It is as far as the EMA is concerned.
