It increasingly looks like many European countries that didn’t manage to hit on the accelerator for vaccination (everyone besides UK, I think?) may risk another terrible surge from B.1.1.7. (UK also delayed boosters to increase coverage quickly). Exponentials are dangerous.https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/1370833735717957635 …

Yes, US should immediately release what AZ supplies we have. We have more than enough of the other three so time to move on that.https://twitter.com/ktsabini/status/1370839659421560834 …

Both the US and the UK botched many aspects of their pandemic response. But vaccination isn’t “one more tool” somehow equal or similar to the others in our toolkit. Make that happen, and things can improve quickly despite issues . Miss that? Things can tip back quickly.

Doesn’t help the EU that vaccine manufacturers aren’t delivering what they’ve agreed to.

It's insane here in France. The numbers have been climbing, climbing, and Macron seems to feel he is macho for refusing to enact another shutdown. We may finally get it tomorrow, but boy have they let this run rampant this time after doing relatively well last year.

US made deals in July-August, ahead of EU for several of the companies: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-08-pre-orders-covid-vaccine-billion.html … US export ban is an issue for AstraZeneca, not use of it (no authorization).

We don’t have enough vaccines in the EU bc they went big on cheap AstraZeneca, a lot of which didn’t get delivered yet, and didn’t order enough mRNA vaccines. Rollout of doses also slow. Couple that with on/off lockdowns since November and everyone is totally exhausted.

We also don’t have export restrictions on vaccines and materials so we’ve been exporting tens of millions of doses outside the block (8 million to the UK, if I recall). Moving everyone outdoors for the summer is going to have a positive impact at least...
