EU stops short of coronavirus vaccine export ban – BBC News
European Union leaders have stopped short of banning vaccine exports after a protracted row with the Anglo-Swedish manufacturer AstraZeneca.
At a summit on Thursday they gave backing in principle for toughening export controls.
But a post-summit statement emphasised the importance of global supply chains needed to produce vaccinations.
Elements of the AstraZeneca vaccination are manufactured in a number of EU states.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said AstraZeneca must “catch up” on deliveries to the EU before exporting doses elsewhere.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

They should not be happy with the EU.
But good doggy here is a bone sit and shut up.

Atrsa zenica are doing this for cost . I dont think it will be for cost next time . Cant see them producing the vaccines in Europe after these 300 million vaccines.not worth the greif The strange think is theres 450m European people x2 doses thats 900m vaccines needed where are the other vaccines companies and why are they not getting all this greif. Pfizer have had problems supplying but AZ are getting it from the EU. Nothing short of bullying. Didnt invest into any company. Dont technically own any vaccines . Madness .

AZ lost credit and trust when they didn't honour the contract with the EU while treating UK differently.

Young ppl has blood clots stroke can recover quickly but old do not generally. Gov shows if you are old , can have Astrazenneca.
@jeraldleung6009
January 11, 2024 at 3:18 pm
One puzzle me is why German stop vaccinating under 60 for Astrazeneca~would think above 55 is most risk for stroke~ vaccine may speed up the process of clots. Why cant Gov uses Pifer meantime for 55 over.

Are those New Super Strains, Zoonotic Bovine Coronavirus, Zoonotic Porcine Coronavirus, Zoonotic Porcine Delta Coronavirus, either of two Zoonotic Canine Coronavirus, Zoonotic Feline Coronavirus; or is it Typhus misdiagnosed or covered up as COVID 19 ! There has been a State of Emergency declared in California over a Typhus Epidemic and reports of Misdiagnosis as COVID !!

Pfizer paid out USD$2.3Billion for Criminal Fraud, Johnson and Johnson paid out USD$2.1Billion for Criminal Fraud, and AstraZeneca paid out USD$530Million for Criminal Fraud, and were fined AND SD$5.5Million for bribing Doctors in China and Russia; and the EU want us to blindly trust them

Lie n.1 – First comes first.
Lie n.2 – Best effort's clause.
Lie n.3 – Only the UK funded AZ.
EU gave €336m to AZ in Oxford and Staffordshire for development and production last year, but no vaccine came from there to EU!
The UK is just trying very hard to cover up its cheating "priority" with lies!
Lie n.4 – EU tries to discreditate AZ !
AZ lost credit and trust of EU Countries when treated the EU so shamefully discriminating. EU had to build again that trust through extra tests!!!
@happyharry8721

One thing these political puppets don't understand is AZ is a private company uk government does not own it its down to the contract that we signed as a funder of Oxford vaccine the uk had a priority stipulated tied into the contract
