Couple days back, there was an idea made to blockade vaccine exports from EU to UK as Brussels intended to prohibit shipments to countries with a better record in vaccinating their population. British prime minister has told the EU that Europe would be a loser if it imposes a Covid vaccine blockade on Britain and also says that the blockade of either vaccines or vaccine ingredients isn't sensible and the damage done by it would be very big. Boris Johnson declared that he would ,,just gently push" anybody considering puting a blockade of supply chains and will do anything to continue the vaccine rollout in Britain. The UK government and the European commission said in a joint statement on Wednesday evening that talks on a compromise were ongoing and that they are working on a "win-win" solution to expand vaccine supply.
Iny my oppinion countries with bigger vaccine supplies should help the ones with the smallest supplies and with the biggest amounts of Covid infections per day. It's obvious that every government cares about its country but in the long run, reducing numbers of infections in other countries, e.g. in Poland which is the sixth in the world in terms of daily infections per day. All we can hope is that the pandemics slows down and we can live like we used to.
Sharing vaccines is a matter of the world's safety, not just a humanitarian tactic. If huge populations in poor countries remain unvaccinated, they let the virus mutate and spread.
