THE EU’S catastrophic failure over its vaccine rollout will push more nations to leave the ailing bloc and trigger a fresh wave Euroscepticism, experts have said.

France and Germany face another lockdown after they played politics and attempted to shun the Oxford AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine as the killer virus looks set to surge again across Europe...

...Robert Oulds, director of think tank The Bruges Group, told The Sun Online the vaccine crisis could be the start of the “unraveling” of the EU. ...

...EU vaccine figures are vastly behind Britain - with the UK having 27 per cent of citizens receiving the first jab as opposed to 6 per cent in the EU.

And more than one million doses of the jab are currently going unused in Germany.

I remember when AIDS first exploded in the 80s. There was a rush to come up with a diagnostic test. The United States came up with the first test but the French refused to accept it based on national pride. The Pasteur Institute was working on their own version.

‘Merkel has revealed anti-vaxxers who refuse to take the Covid jab could be segregated in “certain areas”.’

“Ghettos”
— Google-translation, German for “certain areas”

He told The Sun Online: “The EU put politics above people and literally have not delivered, people are going to die on the continent because of that and that is a shame as we all need to get back to normal...

I'll bet all the Elites in the EU have their shots - and shots for their families.
