The UK produced vaccine is being put into vials in Wrexham.Some of the vaccine is put into phials in Wrexham - you need to be better informed -

At the very least you would need to explain how the EU could affect supplies of a vaccine that is both manufactured and put into phials in the UK? I think you'll find that you've defeated your own argument very effectlvely.
It's good that the EU and the UK are cooperating to produce and roll out the vaccine - it's bad that the AstraZeneca board tried to insert itself into that to make some extra profit. It's good that the EU and the UK have reached an understanding.
And dealing with the reality isn't a bad thing. Having the resources of the EU to supply the best distribution system in the world - or the second best if you think Israel's healthcare system is better than the NHS - is a good thing. (of course if the UK had still been in the EU the move to prevent vaccines being sent out of the EU would have had zero effect on the NHS distribution but let's not dwell on that)
The EU produced vaccine is being put into vials in Germany.
From the UK Government Website:
'Production of the Oxford University / AstraZeneca vaccine started last autumn where the bulk of the vaccine for the UK is being made in Oxfordshire and Staffordshire, with filling into vials taking place in North Wales.'
Janssen publishes positive safety and efficacy data for single-dose COVID-19 vaccine
Janssen today published positive data from the Phase 3 studies of its single-dose COVID-19 vaccine candidate, showing it to be 66% effective overall in preventing coronavirus in participants.

We are currently not exporting UK made v Astra Zeneca vaccine for finishing in Germany.
The UK government stopped the Oxford vaccine being manufactured by Merck, who on the point of signing the deal, because they wanted to keep a whole production line in the UK. They then partnered with Astra Zeneca purely for this reason - so no-one could interrupt supply.
But I am not going to argue with someone who so little grasp on reality. I have never seen so many factual errors in so few posts.
If there is anyone here with an agenda - it's quite clearly you.
