However, what I would say here is that the fact that EU countries are now facing a third wave demonstrates the futility of lockdowns. It also clarifies that vaccines are the only answer to this pandemic.
The only alternative is lockdown after lockdown after lockdown until herd immunity is achieved.
Which is what I have been saying all along.

I've already imposed a ban on European wine and other EU products until they stop this nonsense. If enough people do the same, the EU will certainly notice.

We are entirely shunning obvious French produce. Chilean wine is a first class alternative to French/Italian wines. Mild Cheddar is an excellent cheese as is Double Gloucester. The only one we can't avoid is Polish produce, specifically mustard and sour cucumbers.
It won't be long before British hams appear in "Prosciutto" form and somebody finds a way to make a Port Salut cheese replacement. I'm not sure about Gouda cheese equivalent, though; if the Netherlands demonstrates resistance to the EC, I might continue with Gouda.
I wish a real pox and the EC and the likes of the French government and my shopping choices are the only weapon that I have.
As to Covid, I'm getting worried about the second jab stocks; is the government telling the truth that AZ stocks are/will be sufficient to cover all 2nd dose obligations within the 12 weeks?

But that's not what OLD BOY is saying - he is saying boycott all EU goods, not just the ones where it isn't inconvenient...
