Portuguese leftist MEP Marisa Matias commented that "so much money went to vaccines and it was not used" whilst Slovenian Member Alojz Peterle (EPP) asked "what came first: vaccines or the virus?"
Slovēņu deputāts Alojz Peterle (EPP) retoriski jautāja: "Kas bija pirmais: vakcīnas vai vīruss?", bet Marisa Matias (GUE/NGL, Portugāle) atzīmēja, ka "vakcīnām tika iztērēts ļoti daudz naudas, taču tās netika izmantotas."
