Also, it is not illegal for the EU to be banning exports of this vaccine product. Plus, where did the tax subsidies come from? In this case it is from an EU member state. This is how pharmaceutical companies work; they plant themselves where the subsides are.
The biggest mistake that the EU made was that they trusted free market forces too much.
Either way, this is a good read, from the Global Commission of Post-Pandemic Policy: Why States Should Invest in Vaccine Capacity: https://globalcommissionforpostpandemicpolicy.org/states-and...
It talks about the EU vaccine situation well, too.
Two wrongs do not a right make.
The UK screwed nobody, they just wrote a good contract independent of EU.
If the UK knew there were not going to be able to manufacture there, they would have made it elsewhere.
Nationalizing exports is a massive problem, and it may very well be illegal.
Nobody screwed the EU or Canada, they just failed to take appropriate action.
Assuming that is true, which it isn't, on what basis did the EU assume good behaviour?
Just being Pro-EU doesn't mean the reporting on this vaccine-drama is inaccurate. It means we probably need to be careful of what they are saying, but doesn't automatically mean it's wrong.

1 tweet is not evidence of bias in itself, though, if you've been following along since Brexit it's pretty obvious. I invite you to spent 10 minutes looking through his twitter feed and judge for yourself.
