Astrazeneca V EU V Britain

Watching this on the news tonight.
There are serious undertones here around Brexit and Britain not being allowed to seem to have done better than EU as a non member.
There is a tragic story in it for sure than some EU people who would otherwise have been vaccinated may now die while waiting in the list.

To the keen observer though, the EU are not letting this lie due to the above but also that it cannot be perceived that Britain is better off doing its own thing.

I'm giving RTE but foreign news will report it different.

RTE news : EU and AstraZeneca fail to make breakthrough, says EU

Will the EU save face and dampen the impression around Britain doing well on the vaccine front?

Why didn't they invest in a non UK company.

It's about the suspicion that the vaccine went elsewhere other than were it was contracted to and the production delays are a front. Production happening in the UK has issues too.

There's already a thread in the Coronavirus forum on the AstraZeneca situation
