Exactly, they botched multiple other things but on this they got it right.
I had my first AZ Oxford shot on Tuesday, I’m 40 and have health issues but nothing that is directly affected by COVID (though coughing is dangerous for me).
Second one is due June 2nd, the first dose to as many people paid off, evidence was good it would but it was still a gamble with so many lives on the line.

This was the single most important thing to get right since 1945, by a large margin.
As a EU citizen I must say that the multiple layered structure of the EU is not worse than any other one in normal times but it was a disaster in these exceptional times. Too many indirections, nobody responsible for anything, the people in charge of the vaccination procurement not there because of elections.

Well said. It's obvious to me that the reason that the EU (and leaders of EU member states) are acting unpredictably at the moment is that they very well understand the gravity of this fuck up.
It is an existential threat to the project. Pandemics have ended civilisations in the past.
