Certainly one Belgian lawyer has already stated that he thinks the EU Commission don't have a leg to stand on here. Not that I expect that to slow them down.

Awkwardly it seems Pfizer might shift to supplying the UK from the US and the UK seem content that they have no contractual need to share the AZ doses from the UK facility. So the EU don't seem to have any leverage on this issue.

Some have tried to say this debate is EU vs AZ but this map suggests otherwise.

Can we have a zoomed out version of that map please? I suspect it's been framed for maximum controversy.

And I'd also like to hear from more reliable lawyers than "a guy on Twitter".

Yeah. Canada is not exempted either. And we have no domestic production of COVID-19 vaccine. All our vaccines are coming from Europe.

The UK should be the same color as Russia and Turkey. Either they're all red, or they're all grey
