Probably because the EU is expecting to provide the vaccine to half of Africa and Arabia. Once all those Turk "German" citizens, and Senegalese "French" citizens need it.

Quibbling about the medals when the race isn't run yet. I screwed up that quote thing btw.
There probably will be some EU vaccine scheme, getting a group deal on whatever the pharmaceuticals have that works safely, being in line after all the elderly, the infirm, the women and the children. Comes the time, comes the man, doubt Merkel or the EU will get screwed over by whatever pharma company lives around here. The PR fall-out alone would be catastrophical.
All that money being thrown around not really nilly-willy, all the interstate co-operation, all that data coming up in the following months/years, the aftermath of the Trump presidency, if anything I for one hope this will turn us towards a more technocratic democracy.

It just sucks when you try to felate Trump, but end up felating the Europussies, doesn’t it?

I'd be cool if Merkel, Conte, Castex and Boris just came out and put the hijab on.

Penis-fondling jokes and grinder swipes aside, you do know any and all faults in this rapid roll-out is grist for the mill for the anti-vax crowd.
I for one have picked a side, never having known a dude (or chick for that matter, tbt I get those Maria vibes from attractive women with MD after their name) in a white coat on a personal level that was only in it for the money nor finding any fault with accepting that a sh!tload of smart people have an eye out for calling shenanigans on their peers in their body of expertise.

I love how big pharma is now the hero of the left.


Meh....I'll just keep drinking my vodka, smoking the occasional cigar, not wearing a mask, and being an anti vaxxer. BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA.

Remember I live in a country that has public health care
I don't have to pay for any expensive medication and the drug industry is regulated.
And the initial funding comes from Berlin not washington.

Signing up for x number of doses of the vaccine becomes fda approved 7 months after they start development is not providing funding for research.

That's like you prebuying an iphone and claiming that you developed it


P.s. the pfizer vaccine is created by a team of scientists you shit on and would deport if you could

^ So much full of fuck. (I did not know the FDA was based in Berlin.)

And yes, you do pay. Where do you think your taxes go?

Europe uses EMA along with local agencies.

I understand that the US school system is broken and you are a victim of that but I'm referencing the fact that the US takes guidance from the FDA and that the US would buy the vaccine after getting FDA approval.

You think govt provided healthcare is free. Ok.

Nah baby, they already provide us with abortion/birth control medicines, that euthanasia poison (but not lethal injections for those on death row) and all those hormone injections to help turn dudes into chicks and vice versa.

FWIW health care and taxes are different over here, both still get taken out of your pay-check or have to be paid for separately.

Wait, what? The left here tells us medical care is totally free over there. Black Jesus fined me $15k a year, with threat of the riot squad coming down on me if I didn't pay. There's a better way over there?

In your opinion, where is the best place in Europe to land and claim asylum? Of course the locals will have to bow down to my language, my customs, obey my women and such. I can convert to Islam if it helps.

Please tell me Belgium. And that they issue FN FALs upon arrival. I'll give up my ARs for a nice Rhodesian numbered model. But you aren't getting my m1a.

^Not joking about the FN FAL.
