Every post you make simply demonstrates my point.

The answer doesn’t lie in what treaties permit. It lies in the way the council of ministers works, particularly when they’re all shut in long, closed negotiations.

The idea that the UK would have taken the political hit of abandoning the other EU member states by not joining the vaccine programme, had it been an EU member riding on the back of a recent vote to remain in the bloc, is absolutely absurd.
