Brexit Britain glows while EU's vaccination efforts look very sickly

UK has now vaccinated more people than the EU27’s five largest countries combined

EU’s performance since it took over COVID health last year has been lamentable

Whatever readers’ views about Covid-19, or about the containment measures being used, or about vaccines, this report is not about those issues.
This short report is about the incompetence of the EU and an early success for Brexit Britain.

Earlier this year we reported on the disaster that was – and still is – the EU technocracy’s response to Covid-19. In April, for example, we revealed that the EU’s new head of its €2bn per year “European Research Council” had resigned in a blaze of publicity, which was barely mentioned in the UK.

On his departure he condemned the EU’s inability to coordinate an effective Coronavirus campaign. He described the plan he had devised as having created an “internal political thunderstorm” and that it had “disintegrated upon impact” with parts of the EU Commission.

We also reported on the EU’s “Commissioner for Crisis Management”

Yes, the EU has a Crisis Management Commissioner. Given all the EU’s problems this must be the worst job in the world right now – putting aside the massive salary, benefits, perks, pension, accommodation, limos, and expense account.

This particular Commissioner’s name is Janez Lenarčič and he’s from Slovenia. Slovenia is an EU member country which has a population of 2.1 million – smaller than that of West Yorkshire. Its economy is less than 1/50th of the size of the UK’s.

Like almost all EU Commissioners, Mr Lenarčič has never held what we would call “a proper job” in his life. He has only ever worked in politics and in the EU.

Since April, things for the EU only got worse

Since we wrote that report, things have got worse. By June the EU Commission had somehow persuaded its member countries that it should be the sole body able to negotiate with the various drugs companies which were competing to create and deliver effective vaccines. The EU refused to let the UK be involved in any decision-making, and the UK therefore declined to participate in the EU scheme.

Cue six months of delay in the EU, but rapid action in the UK.

Back in June, Remainer-Rejoiners in the United Kingdom establishment wailed when the UK Government decided not to participate in the EU Commission’s combined effort, and instead decided to go its own way. They might want to reflect long and hard on our chart below.

Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary

The UK is streets ahead of the EU27 in its vaccination programme

The UK has performed over 4.7 million vaccination doses
In the latest figures this represents 6.96 per 100 people
The average for the EU countries is 1.35 per 100 people - that's less than 20% of what the UK has done
The UK has undertaken more total vaccination doses than the five biggest EU countries combined

Observations

Like Brexit, the Covid crisis has polarised sections of our society. As researchers into facts, various members of the Facts4EU.Org team have been very troubled by the quality of the information being presented to the public on the whole Covid question each week.

That said, our article above steers clear of the debate of the rights and wrongs in the Covid world we are living in. Instead it looks at just one thing.

Regardless of ours’ or readers’ views about various aspects of the whole Covid debate, how well have the UK Government and EU Commission done in implemeting their policies?

The answer to this question is very stark indeed. The EU Commission’s collective, imposed, bureaucratic approach has been little short of a disaster. In contrast, the UK Government appears to have been fleet of foot and highly effective.

As the BBC seems to prefer “Brexit is turning out to be a nightmare, as we predicted” stories, we thought readers might want some absolute and basic facts on the story of our current age which show up the EU to be what we have always said it is: bureaucratic, undemocratic, and dysfunctional.

Brexit is not "done" and the challenges mount

Unfortunately some people now think Brexit is "done" and not surprisingly the whole Covid thing has hit the level of donations we receive, which were already less than we needed to survive. We are most grateful to readers who have donated in recent days, but we badly need more readers to do the same. 10 readers donating £500 per month, or 50 readers donating £100 per month, or 1000 readers donating £5 per month - on top of the one-off donations and monthly donations we currently receive, this would just about keep us going.

Sadly, the challenges of seeing Brexit through are not the only concerns we face. Freedom of expression and the basic princples of democratic accountability are under attack as we we have never seen before. We have far more to do in researching, publishing, campaigning and lobbying Parliament than we have in terms of the financial resources to fulfil these tasks. We rely 100% on public donations from readers like you. Unlike the Remain/Rejoin camp, we do not have foreign billionaires to subsidise our work.

If you believe in a fully-free, independent, and sovereign United Kingdom, please make a donation now. It’s quick, secure, and confidential, and you can use one of the links below or you can use our Donations page here. You will receive a personal, friendly ‘thank you’ from a member of our team within 24 hours. Thank you so much if you can help to keep us going in these critical months ahead.

That's great news for us.
Imagine if we were in the Eu vaccine process,we would be at the bottom of the pile having spent more on vaccine development to aid the Eu.
What a visibly rubbish disfunctional organization.

2. kb , Wednesday, January 20, 2021, 12:08:

I think we should also mention the French vaccine under development. It won't be available for many months yet, but of course the EU is all about France and so they had to tie themselves to this French vaccine.

3. Derek Lund , Wednesday, January 20, 2021, 12:43:

Yes, it's right to shout this from the rooftops. In the matter of a vaccine our government have played a blinder. They threw the kitchen sink at the task and enough of their initiatives have paid off.
And it's not just the BBC that need a kick up the pants. Our Nicola, paragon of truth, transparency and 'grown up' conversation, cannot bring herself to utter the word "Oxford" in the same sentence as the word "vaccine" and thereby acknowledge the value of the Union.

Excuse me for telling the deluded commentators 1, 2 and 3 that you are absolutely MAD and have fallen hook, line and sinker for the globalist agenda to vaccinate billions of people with EXPERIMENTAL vaccines which have been rushed through, have not been tested on humans, do not guarantee immunity from the virus or infections and will not alter the status quo of permanent lockdowns, useless, damaging, submissive and controlling masking and have already resulted in serious adverse effects such as anaphylactic shock, Bell's Palsy and debilitation and from which the Big Pharma companies have given themselves immunity from prosecution for vaccine injuries - of which there are many. The Pfizer vaccine in particular has been responsible for serious adverse effects including convulsions, NUMEROUS deaths in several countries and infection with the very disease itself.

Continued from Comment 4
This as yet unidentified virus, which has not been isolated and verified by the Koch Postulates standard, is spuriously presented as the 'Black Death', whereas in reality 99.7% of people recover FULLY; much like the flu. In spite of the evil propaganda suggesting otherwise, last year was a below average year for deaths! The public has been brainwashed by a multi-million £ campaign of fear, lies and hysteria and terrorised into a state of paralysis which appears to have completely destroyed their ability to think for themselves.
Hospitals are NOT overwhelmed with Covid patients, are under capacity and understaffed because nurses are furloughed and absent because of testing positive with unreliable PCR tests, which have been declared SO unfit for purpose by High Court in Portugal that they have ruled it UNLAWFUL to quarantine people on the results of these tests. Why is the same criteria not being applied here? The Lateral Flo Test is equally ineffective, as it only gives results which last for 12 hours after testing, so it would be necessary to test EVERY day.

Continued from Comment 4
These experimental vaccines are not a silver bullet and the virus will naturally mutate negating any positive effect of the current vaccines, and requiring new vaccines which will perpetuate the present restrictions ad infinitum. Everything of human value has been stripped away from us on a politically motivated and spurious pretext; our freedom, civil liberties, humanity and happiness - and I will never forgive until my dying breath the damage which Government policies have inflicted on our children, trashing their lives, education, and mental health with a surge in eating disorders as a consequence, such as anorexia, from which 1 in 10 patients die.
Incarceration undermines the immune system, increases anxiety, depression and is conducive to suicides, of which there have also been many, directly attributable to lockdowns. And tens of thousands will die because the NHS has yet AGAIN withdrawn access to critical operations, treatments and referrals. We have never been able to vaccinate our way out of the flu, and nor can we do so with 'Covid' - a far better option advocated by tens of thousands of Doctors would have been to facilitate herd immunity, with precautions for the vulnerable, and this has been shown to be successful in Sweden, Belarus and 7 states in America who refused to lock down and have fared equally well, if not better, without lockdowns, which kill MORE than the virus, and whose economies are not in the parlous state that ours is.
I would have credited the followers of this website with more intelligence than to trust and believe duplicitous politicians to tell you the truth and for you to hand over responsibility for your health and wellbeing, (for which you should have autonomy), to the Deep State. Do your homework on vaccines; there is a wealth of factual information out there on vaccine injuries if you care to look.

I bet you feel better now that you’ve got that of your chest. I read the other day that a symptom of Covid 19 was long, uncalled for rants; I’d book a test if I were you. You know, just to be sure.

8. Jay Sparrow , Wednesday, January 20, 2021, 18:32:

Comments 4, 5, and 6. Barbara, I suspect a lot of people feel as you do, but we didn't air our concerns as the Facts4EU team wrote (reassuringly, in fact): 'As researchers into facts, various members of the Facts4EU.Org team have been very troubled by the quality of the information being presented to the public on the whole Covid question each week. That said, our article above steers clear of the debate of the rights and wrongs in the Covid world we are living in. Instead it looks at just one thing.'
HOWEVER, thank you very much, Barbara, for setting out so clearly the key concerns of many of us. I have already copied what you said and I will send it to others who I know will feel cheered that they are not alone.

Comment 7 - do you mean a PCR test which is causing regular nosebleeds in children as young as 4 years old and causing a surge in nose and throat injuries being reported by Paediatricians? Feel free to have mine Chimera!

I read your comments 4, 5 and 6 yesterday and totally agree with them.
I too have looked beyond the "do as your told" and I have decided to "not do as I am told" - unless I agree with it.
Too many people are going along with the covid con because they are scared to lose their jobs.
They have not (usually because they are incapable of it) done any research and so they think the government cares for them.
Many shop and business owners do know there is a lie in progress but say "we have to do what the government tells us to do".
Well that is how tyranny is allowed to take hold. Acquiescence (giving tacit consent without objections) to impositions.
The only way to stop it is if enough people refuse to comply.
Most days my trips out are fine because I avoid "normy blackspots" and only use and support businesses that are relaxed regarding the restrictions. I have not worn a mask and will never do so. I will not take a poisonous experimental vaccine either.
Masks are harmful, research oxygen meters and dangerous long term effects of having your oxygen level reduced from a healthy 20.5% to a dangerous 17.5%.
Masks collect exhaled toxins and so you can rebreathe them, which may result in problems for people with lung problems.
