EU Jab Export Ban Could Delay Britain’s Vaccine Rollout by Two Months

by Michael Curzon
21 March 2021 11:21 PM

Britain’s vaccine rollout could be delayed by two months if EU members states decide to ban exports of the jab later this week. The Sun has the story.

Britain’s Covid vaccine rollout faces a two-month delay if EU members states go ahead with a jab export ban.

The ban, set to be debated next Thursday, would derail the UK Government’s roadmap to reopen the economy.

And according to analytics firm Airfinity, the move would not provide a significant boost to beleaguered vaccine rollouts in the European Union.

Research shows that the number of doses kept within the bloc would speed up European Union vaccinations by “just over a week”.

Yet, an export ban of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine made in Belgium and Germany would delay every British adult receiving a first jab until August 5th, reports the Guardian.

And a further ban to all jab exports, including those from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, would delay the rollout target even further to August 27th, the report says.

The British Government, as well as Pfizer and its partner BioNTech, has urged the EU not to go ahead with this export ban, warning of the consequences on the world’s vaccine rollout efforts.

Britain has received around 10 million vaccine doses from plants in the EU since the rollout started in December.

Reports say that Number 10 is expecting around 60 million more in the coming months.

Today, the UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace warned Brussels that the “world is watching” ahead of their decision next week. …

Meanwhile, Pfizer has urged the EU to back down on its threats to block vaccine exports to the UK as essential ingredients are made in Yorkshire.

The drug giant warned that production could “grind to a halt” if Britain retaliates, sparking further jab chaos on the continent.

Yorkshire-based firm Croda International has been delivering “fatty molecules” to Pfizer’s EU factories since signing a five-year contract in November.

Pfizer, and its partner BioNTech, have told the EU that Britain can strike back against any export ban by withholding vital materials, reports The Telegraph.

But the EU yesterday doubled down on its threat to block millions of vaccine doses to the UK.

While those most vulnerable to Covid have already been vaccinated in the UK, this delay would no doubt lead the Government into extending its “roadmap” out of lockdown. Meanwhile other countries, which are far behind the UK in their vaccine rollouts, are unlocking already.

Worth reading in full.

I heartily approve of the choice of picture. All covidiots should forever more be pictured wearing masks.

They should be obliged by law to wear the face nappies until their dying day. And thereafter, in their coffins.

Indeed. It was what she wanted – for herself and everyone. She’s a hypocrite, too. I imagine she still wants it, but nowadays only for everyone else. She is one of the more equal animals.

Kids, the animals bit is a reference to the story 1984, by George Orwell. If you want to read it, make sure you do not download any ebook. Get a proper book, published before March 2020. Ask me why.

Taken out words. And replaced many sections to reverse the message. I would point you to one ebook on Amazon I noticed in 2022, but it has since disappeared.

Talking of elitist A-holes this story about Professor Stephen Curry is about his half-arsed efforts showing him to be a complete arse and of his ‘scientific’ mate’s inability to tell the difference between science and the inane ramblings of an unemployed former barman and administrator and internet troll. Read this as the past comes back to haunt Curry:

Professor Stephen Curry – “Half-Arsed” Dumbing Down of Science Posted on August 2, 2010 by ChildHealthSafety

The modern “dumbing down” of British science is well demonstrated by the inept efforts of Professor Stephen Curry on his Nature “science” journal’s blog. Curry was incensed by a well written UK Guardian newspaper article by professional journalist Simon Jenkins and responded childishly with abuse. Worse still Curry’s efforts were defended in The Guardian by physicist and Vice Dean Professor Jon Butterworth of London University ……..

Read on for more

Hilariously two of the particularly ridiculous aspects of the article quoted above about Curry and Jon Butterworth is Curry replied [see it here and weep] and Butterworth excruciatingly embarrassingly cannot tell the difference between an accredited established qualified British university scientific expert and an internet troll with no qualifications:

“It seems no one has had the heart to tell Butterworth that a “scientist” blogger he quoted in his Guardian piece [as an example of the entire scientific world and in defence of his pal Professor Stephen Curry] is in fact none other than the former unemployed barman and administrator and well known internet “troll” James Cole [aka jdc 325 and 325 jdc].”

So much for the ivory towers of Imperial College and the ability of these two jokers to tell the difference between science and nonsense.

Perhaps the thousands of the Royal Society’s contemporary Professors, Sirs, Dames and Professor Sirs need to mug up on the history of their precious Society, as delineated on the Society’s website – the world’s first national scientific society, founded in 1662 by pioneers of experimental physical sciences, that included Newton, Boyle and Hooke, under the inaugural presidency of Sir Christopher Wren.

Motto – Nullius in Verba – “Take nobody’s word for it” – “an expression of the determination of Fellows to withstand the domination of authority and to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment...”

…Which pretty much rules out the unverifiable voodoo-science prosecuted by Mann and Fauci.

As Professor Groucho Marx always used to say, “I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member!”

It’s so sad that the RS is being brought into disrepute by these people, perhaps those who think science is political should be the first to be kicked out before the RS loses all credibility.

But fear not my friends, there is light at the end of the tunnel, I now call it “The reawakening”. People like Dr Iain McGilchrist are fighting a rear guard action and I urge all readers here to check him out. Perhaps those who are interested should check him out for suitability and the first stop should be…..

When he talks about left he is not being political. Perhaps the DS could invite him to pen an article. But one of his books has been described “It’s very simple: this is one of the most important books ever published. And, yes, I do mean ever…”.

But there are many others who are “rebelling”, David Starkey, Jordan Peterson and more.

It’s just a modern example of a ‘witch hunt’… but of course there are no witches just people carrying grudges.

The location of the witch hunt in the Royal Society is just a matter of convenience.

Wonderful video thank you for the link, the metric system, civil law, the EU, all prov the validity of his thesis.
As Douglas Adams knew and we all know, politics is far too important to be left to people who really want to be in charge. The great weakness of modern democracy in the age of 24 hour media cycle.

Grouch Marx would not join any society that would have him as a member. I would not join any society that has Mann or Fauci as members given that they are guilty of falsification and fabrication. Nor anyone stupid enough to quote Mann’s Hookey Stick as evidence given how that was shredded years ago as complete crap existing only to deny the existence of the Medieval Warm Period.

From abc News

White House changes COVID.gov web page to page supporting lab leak theory
The five pieces of evidence put forth by the White House for the theory include the following assertions: that the “virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature,” that data shows all cases “stem from a single introduction into humans,” that “Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab,” that researchers at that research lab “were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019,” and that “if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced.“

The page includes claims that government officials, including former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, helped edit and then amplify a research paper on the origins of COVID-19 published in 2020 that supported natural origin theory.
