The US put an export ban on basically everything regarding vaccines, very early on. If you look at the amount of vaccines produced, the US and EU are fairly close to each other.
The difference in Vaccine rollout comes from the fact that the EU exports vaccines to other countries while the US does not.
As a European I would've been in favour of more export controls, but a total ban seems to go too far. Why should 18 years olds in the EU/US receive a vaccine before 75 year olds in other countries?
Then again, the EU exported to countries that are now further ahead than the EU itself, which seems the other extreme end.
