People lost their fucking minds during the pandemic. What a shit show. Didn’t the EU try and sue AZ multiple times?

Italian police find ‘millions’ of vaccines in factory raid amid fears AstraZeneca jabs being hidden

I imagine that that was a pretty not-fun time for AstraZeneca.
EU: AstraZeneca’s says that their production isn’t meeting quotas. They must be smuggling some to the UK. Let’s raid their Belgian production facilities.
Also EU: No, that didn’t turn anything up. Maybe they’re hiding some in their Italian production facilities.
EU: Darn, they weren’t smuggling them there either.
UK leadership: AstraZeneca’s been raided by the EU. Let’s do a military raid on their Dutch production facilities.
AstraZeneca: We told you, we’re having production problems. Can you lunatics all just leave us alone so that we can just focus on production?

Yeah, to be fair to Johnson, he wasn’t any more insane than the EU leadership, admittedly that isn’t a very high bar…
