Who knows, if the U.K. was still in the EU, perhaps the vaccine procurement would have been handled differently because of pressure from us.

I don't know if we still have the large excess formerly reported, but I'd always factor in potential incompetence and err on the side of caution re: our retention for now. Like maybe storage difficulties could lead to decimated stock or something? @tin_robot ? Because as much as I'd like to be nice and do the right thing, thanks to my absent faith in our government, I'd regrettably rather we had too much than too little. And I'd suggest this view isn't entirely selfish, because nobody wants us turning into Mutation Island.mistercrayon wrote:I suppose that’s true.Yossarian wrote:But none of that changes the fact that the U.K. could have rejected being part of the programme even as part of the EU.
