EU's vaccine failure is because it didn't 'shoot for the stars,' says Macron
- 3 years ago
European leaders failed to see that COVID-19 vaccines would be developed as soon as they were and this was why rollouts in the EU now lagged behind some other countries, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday.
"We didn't shoot for the stars. That should be a lesson for all of us. We were wrong to lack ambition, to lack the madness, I would say, to say: It's possible, let's do it," Macron said, in a rare admission of failure in the pandemic.
European Union leaders are struggling to speed up vaccinations, trailing countries like Britain and the United Sattes and facing supply delays.
