The French have been vociferous in their criticism of the Oxford jab, the Germans, in the middle of this roll out, have huge supplies of the Oxford Vaccine in storage as they've briefed against it so much large swathes of the German public refuse to accept the Oxford jab, Belgian Nurses have threatened to go on strike if they are given the Oxford vaccine. The EU’s politcal briefings against it will come back to haunt them, they've undermined it from the get go - another casualty of Brexit unfortunately.
Nobody likes the Tans - that's at the root of it.
