UK to offer Covid vaccines to Ireland


March 28 2021, The Sunday Times

Britain is planning to offer 3.7 million Covid jabs to Ireland, in part to help lift the lockdown in Northern Ireland, in a move that could raise tensions with the European Union.

It would be the first time the UK has exported vaccines to the EU, but the plan was described by a cabinet minister as a “poke in the eye for Brussels” because it could disrupt EU unity.

Brussels, which has co-ordinated vaccine procurement and delivery on behalf of its member states, has made slower progress than the UK. Amid an acrimonious dispute over supplies, the EU has threatened to block exports of vaccines and their ingredients.

Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary, Michael Gove, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, and Brandon Lewis, the Northern Ireland secretary, have had “outline discussions” about the plan.

Failure to vaccinate the Irish could trigger a third wave in Northern Ireland if people travel across the border when lockdown restrictions are lifted.

A cabinet source said: “Everyone can see the logic of it. It’s good politics while at the same time solving a genuine public health concern in Northern Ireland.

“It is a balancing act, making sure that we have enough vaccines to give the UK’s adult population the second dose. Easter will be when we might be able to start offering vaccines to Ireland.”

Developing countries could receive UK vaccines after Ireland. But the Cabinet Office is drawing up plans to send surplus vaccines to other EU countries this year amid fears that the poor vaccine programme in France and Germany could boost extremist parties. “The fear is that Macron has made such a mess of things that it might mean we end up with Marine Le Pen getting elected,” a well-placed Whitehall source said. “No one wants that.”

President Emmanuel Macron said France’s vaccination rollout will have caught up with the UK’s “in a few weeks” amid tensions over vaccine supplies.

France is currently 13% UK 47% ish few weeks and even with slow down we're still vaccinating a lot everyday. What is this man on, has he lost the plot, mistranslation

'Few' is doing a lot of work in that quote.

Who's enjoying it? Talking about how fecking stupid politicians are world wide doesn't mean I get pleasure from others suffering.

I was commenting on Macron's statement and how it was disjointed from reality.

But let's be honest, EVERYONE'S been piling on to the British governments mishandling of the pandemic over the last 12 months, including us Brits

Pleased with U.K. vaccination program - U.K. arrogance and selfishness.

Yup, we get it

I have a horrible suspicion that we're about to see the complete collapse of a nation state, and due to Covid the rest of the world won't be in a position to mount a proper humanitarian response. It's going to get extremely bad

Well, might France be able to overtake the UK for 2nd doses? If so, then I don't think its the worst thing for Macron to say.

That would no longer appear to be the case (can't think why....). It's now going to travel just up the road to a GSK facility for fill and finish.

The UK gov is saying that this is just investing in UK Pharma, but does anyone believe that they would be doing this if Ursula hadn't put her foot in it?

The EU official, who asked not to named as the talks are confidential, said the company had postponed signing a deal for weeks, citing legal issues in meetings with the bloc’s vaccine negotiators.

“They are slowing down the process of finishing the contract,” the official, who attended the meetings, told Reuters.

Informally, a Novavax executive had said a slow pace in negotiations was warranted because the company was having production problems, the EU official said.

A Novavax spokeswoman said in an email that talks with the EU over a supply deal continue, but declined to say more about the discussions.

This also follows Novavax’s decision to delay signing a deal with the EU. Looks like Novavax have got serious cold feet about dealing with the EU.
