No, it's a rebuttal of "it's been there 20 years", as if there were only UK funding for the company - the EU helped fund the research which made the production possible.

I don't think the EU has any claim on the O/AZ vaccines produced in the UK, but the denial of the facts that EU put some funding into the process is not accurate.

Been there, done that - worst case if Execs & Sales go in, and won't have a meeting before hand with Production to agree a script/limits/things not to promise (and apparently, screaming "WTAF are you doing - that's impossible" is frowned upon by Senior Management in client meetings ).
