trisher it’s not a news article, it’s an opinion by a barrister, and it wasn’t posted as a news article by Blossoming.

We should get our act together and manufacture our own - but they won’t let us do that,either.

Australia was en route to producing its own vaccine but there was a halt during trials because the Australian vaccine was showing some unusual side effects.

This, so I heard, produced a high degree of scepticism amongst Australians towards vaccines in general.

Who won't let you?
Who can stop you except for your own Medical advisors?

This pretty much reads like an item of news to me What is for me is the latest, oddest statement, that the EU may seize AstraZeneca's manufacturing plants and their produce and possibly their intellectual property rights (the recipe)
Whose statement? I've looked and can't find it.

I'm still waiting to be vaccinated, France is not giving the AZ vaccine to over 65s so I am nine years too old for one and a month too young for the other. I don't have any major health problems. My husband has had his first vaccination as he has cancer. It's a waiting game now.

Hope you get a jab soon sodapop

sodapop I believe the regulations have changed today.
The problem where I live is that there is no vaccine available. Centres, doctors and pharmacists are ready but are still waiting for supplies.
