Where is the evidence that the EU as a whole has done anything about the virus? It's left to the individual countries so far as I can tell. There's no defence against a pandemic and the EMA might as well not exist for all the effect we have so far noted. That'll get you going.

Although it's not my responsibility to inform you about the implications of the UK self-excluding itself from co-operating with the EMA, this Observer article does that well, so here's the link.
