Not sure that's the case; or not entirely anyway. The first countries to suspend AstraZeneca were Norway, Denmark and Iceland. The latest two are Sweden and Latvia. None of those countries have shown themselves to be anti-Britain, even post-brexit

Not sure that's the case
I honestly can't imagine it being the case either (that it's politically motivated). Just too bizarre. However, I'm still sketched out that a French Industry minister has said the move was co-ordinated between nations, and that AstraZeneca is “on a hot seat and knows it.”
We'll see what happens in France after the EMA announcement just now which reiterated its position that it should continue to be used.

Why is this a particular anti britan/brexit thing?
The French seem to be more concerned about a Britany variant atm, and raising numbers of people getting ill.

Given that the EMA and the WHO have both said there's no reason to suspend AZ use, it does seem that way. It's getting increasingly difficult to see this other than as a post-Brexit anti-Britain backlash, particularly given previous ill-advised statements on the AZ vaccine from senior European politicians.
