More than 1.5 million fewer Scots would have been vaccinated under the SNP s plan to join the shambolic EU programme, the Scottish Tory leader has disclosed as he hailed the incredible success of the UK roll-out.
Douglas Ross said the roll-out demonstrated the overwhelming benefits of Scotland remaining part of the United Kingdom, with around 2.5 million people having now received their first dose.
If the average vaccination rate across the EU was applied to Scotland, he said this figure would have been only 877,952 and this exposed another glaring weakness in the nationalist case for separation.
