I read last week that the chief exec of Pfizer warned the EU not to try and restrict exports of their vaccine to the UK as many of the basic materials to make the vaccine actually came from the UK
Now it seems (from the BBC) that the EU Commissioner Mairead McGuinness said
"....all sides needed to 'calm down'".
"I think all of us should put our hands up and say we were not prepared for this global pandemic," she said. "We did not do our best at the beginning but we are doing our best now to protect our citizens.
"I think we all need to, if you like, calm down, look very... dispassionately at the situation around the raw materials for vaccines, around where they are produced and how we might ramp up that production."
