zuttwhy is it sad?22:48
zuttand why buying sputnik would make EU mad? :E22:49
rpifanrussia is acting bad22:52
zuttthey're always doing what they want - but "acting bad" should be no reason to not try to acquire much vaccines widely as possible22:54
LjLzutt, because that's exactly what it did when Hungary was buying it... the EU wants member states that agreed to the joint vaccine program to stick to it and not buy/approve vaccines of their own accord23:02
LjLand it is sad because had the joint vaccine program worked out properly, we'd be vaccinating a lot of people like the UK and the US23:03
LjLi won't even say Israel23:03
zuttdid the EU joint procurament program specifically say that you cannot try to make your own deals with manufacturers?23:06
