France has been accused of ‘stealing’ 5 million vaccine doses bound for the UK earlier this year.
But the jabs appear to have instead gone to the EU scheme, with the organisation blocking its transfer to the UK, amid increasing tensions over jab supplies and fears of ‘vaccines wars’.Looking back on the incident, one government source told The Sun: ‘The French stole our vaccines at the same time as they were slagging them off in public and suggesting they weren’t safe to use.’
‘Withholding vaccines by stopping them leaving the EU had the potential to cost lives with people waiting for both first and second jabs.
