The UK made a deal so that the vaccine they developed could be manufactured and used abroad and insisted that it should be sold at cost (which means that the vaccine is very cheap).

How is that "screwing" the EU?

In the meantime the EU has worked hard to try to destroy AZ vaccine's reputation...

It's not, but a Twitter thread is apparently how we judge truth now.

If France's vaccine had worked and AZ failed, the tables would have been turned. This also completely ignores that the Oxford/AZ vaccine is what is driving vaccinations around the world right now for ~$3 a pop.

Somehow UK is both the devil and an angel in this scenario.
