UK's vaccine campaign fails, for now, to fire up EU 'exit' movements

“Obviously, this comes as a big blow to those who have been saying for a long time that Britain was going to do much worse outside of the European Union,” said Camino Mortera-Martinez, Brussels-based analyst for the Centre for European Reform policy institute.  
 
Referring to EU member-states, she added, “it’s not that they were actively trying to downplay the UK’s vaccination success, but they were very conscious—in France and Germany particularly—not to do anything that would fuel this idea that ‘Brexit is a success.’”
