It was totally deserved, the EU helped fund the vaccine with a €336 million grant and what they did was stopping the exports from the UK plants to the EU while still exporting from the EU to the UK.No wonder that they didn't delivered the promised doses since their best efforts were being allocated to the UK.

This is false. The €336m was a down payment to AZ for 400m doses, not funding for development. It was agreed in August after protracted negotiations as the EU demanded a lower price.

Please provide some evidence for that claim. I've get to see even one bit of confirmation that this happened, just unfounded speculation by politicians playing political games (at the expense of their citizens' own health). The EU even went to raid the Belgian production facility to look for evidence this happened, and I've yet to see any further action after than. Want to bet it was completely made up?

The UK and EU supply chains are completely separate to the best of my knowledge. The UK manufactures and packages its supply, and the EU manufactures and packages its supply.

I know they accused AZ of this but as far as I know there is no evidence. Do you have a source?

It was a down payment for the actual jabs? Stop spreading misinformation.
