It's an article where one paragraph leads to the next - so a quote would not be helpful.

About the Author

Gareth Davies is a Professor of EU Law at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Which probably best explains his absurd conclusion:

Quote:
The UK thus decided to get as many vaccines as it could for itself, at any cost. It promises to contribute to global vaccine supply, but only after it has served itself. The European producers, by contrast, have accepted that they have a global and regional role, even though this means domestic shortages.
Throughout, his blog is confused about the sources of the vaccines (is it private companies, or nation states, or the EU? This changes almost from paragraph to paragraph, depending on which best fits his argument), fills important gaps with speculation, and then draws conclusions based on that speculation.
