European Union Threatens AstraZeneca To Block Its Export Of Covid-19 Vaccines

The European Union’s heath commissioner has said AstraZeneca’s delay in delivering COVID-19 vaccines is “not acceptable.”

The EU paid €336 million for guaranteed orders and is angry the company is delivering elsewhere.

EU officials have claimed the contractual right to access company accounts to verify production and delivery numbers.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is reported to have spoken with AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot before Monday’s meeting to remind him of his company’s commitments.

A spokesperson for the company said Soriot assured von der Leyen that AstraZeneca was doing all it could to deliver the vaccine.

Last August, the EU made an upfront payment of €336 million ($409 million) to the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company — the bloc’s first COVID-19 vaccine deal — in order to expand production and secure 300 million doses of the drug developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University.

EU officials speaking with Reuters news agency last week said the bloc could expect a 61% cut to its order, meaning it may only receive as few as 31 million doses.

AstraZeneca has said “initial volumes will be lower than originally anticipated due to reduced yields at a manufacturing site within our EU supply chain.”

Now, the EU has threatened to limit exports of coronavirus vaccines to other countries after AstraZeneca said EU countries will receive millions fewer jabs than they had ordered.

EU officials issued the warning after AstraZeneca, which manufactures COVID-19 jabs in the UK, last week informed Brussels that it would be delivering “considerably” fewer jabs in the coming weeks than the bloc has ordered due to production problems.

In response, the EU’s health commissioner Stella Kyriakides indicated that Brussels would consider placing export limits on coronavirus vaccines which are manufactured within the EU.

“In the future, all companies producing vaccines against Covid-19 in the EU will have to provide early notification whenever they want to export vaccines to third countries.”

AstraZeneca’s warning that it would not be able to fulfill the EU’s whole order comes after Pfizer also announced a temporary slowdown in vaccine supply to the EU earlier in January.Germany’s health minister Jens Spahn on Tuesday supported the EU’s proposal to limit vaccine exports.

  1. AstraZeneca relation to nazi and covid19:
    COVID-19 vaccineEdit

    “Sanofi together with GSK signed a deal with US government’s Operation Warp Speed to provide 100 million doses COVID-19 vaccine for up to 2.1 billion USD, if the vaccine is approved.[126]”

    “What remained of IG Farben in the West was split in 1951 into its six constituent companies, then again into three: BASF, Bayer and Hoechst.[a] These companies continued to operate as an informal cartel and played a major role in the West German Wirtschaftswunder. Following several later mergers the main successor companies are Agfa, BASF, Bayer and Sanofi. ”

    IG Farben”decade later, it was a Nazi Party donor and, after the Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933, a major government contractor,Described as “the most notorious German industrial concern during the Third Reich”[10] in the 1940s the company relied on slave labour from concentration camps, including 30,000 from Auschwitz,[11] and was

    Involved in medical experiments on inmates at both Auschwitz and the Mauthausen concentration camp.[12”

    .
    Me-This a profit making experimental drug trial on humanity and worldwide sanctioned genocide…it like all covid 19 biomedical experiment has not to this date been proven effective nor safe.?

    Bill Gates (kbe- knighted by queen in uk-2005)and Melinda Gates( honorary Dames commander by queen UK 2013) funded all these experimental vaccines with help of Darpa/ welcome trust uk ect.

    No good can come from this historical evil.

  2. Part-2. Google in the vaccine business with Sanofi.

    2016, Google PARTNERED WITH SANOFI launching Indio, a virtual diabetes Clinic and in 2018 in another business that uses analytics to develop new drugs and vaccines

    Googles customer services President ( translation politically correct narrative and fact checker censorship) Mary Ellen Coe, sits on Mercks board ( which recently 2021 withdrew vaccine).

    Political censorship of former President Trump and other fact checkers censored by a public platform has definate conflict of interest issues at minimum and conspiracy ( real conspiracy not conspiracy ” theory) on its dictatorship hands to say the least.
