EU concedes UK did NOT ban Covid vaccine exports after Boris Johnson slammed president

Daily Mail  

The EU has conceded the UK did not ban vaccine exports after Boris Johnson slapped down the European Council's president in a fresh row over Covid jabs. Boris Johnson has slapped down EU president Charles Michel in a row over Covid jab exports, saying Britain has not blocked a single vaccine or component from going overseas Britain has now vaccinated 34.37 people per 100, while the EU nations have managed just 9.11 per 100 EU rumours, unproven, of British hoarding of vaccines at the expense of the continent have always been there, but Michel issued a statement Tuesday saying that 'the facts do not lie. Von der Leyen also insisted EU was 'particularly quick' to sign vaccine deals, saying it put pen to paper with AstraZeneca a day before the UK did, in August last year. EU commission president Ursula von der Leyen refused to comment on the row Wednesday, though her office said that Mr Johnson had previously given assurances that there is no export ban in place.
