covid-19

Oh the EU's AZN vaccine contract is even with a different company than the UK's too.

EU have signed with AZN AB, the UK have signed with AZN plc. Same family of companies but they're separate companies.

The idea the EU can just nick doses made for the UK contract signed months earlier to make up for their own shortfall is absolutely crass and absurd.

We will see. Usually the winner in these matters is the one with the bigger stick. AZN shouldn't have picked this fight.

I'm not going to read the contract, but what I read about it seems to indicate that the best effort clause has lost most of its relevance at this point. IF Belgian law applies AZN then things would look very bleak if the shortfall is caused by exports.

From the latest reports it seems that AZN has already started folding.
