As a (Swiss) American, I can't see the flaw in that logic. The UK signed first, is paying more and included a provision preventing the export of British-manufactured doses. The EU didn't. The EU also added a provision mandating AstraZeneca make no profit prior to 1 July 2021 (the end of the Pandemic Period), a counter-incentive to ramping up production.

It's not fair. But neither is the UK and EU getting wildly more doses per capita than Africa, South America or Oceania.
