Merkel says it was right to be transparent about AstraZeneca vaccine

BERLIN (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday it was right to be completely transparent about AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine.

“On this basis, everyone knows that we do not hide anything, that we do not say something that might be conspicuous, but that we really put things on the table transparently,” she told a news conference.
