Indeed, just as well we weren't bogged down with EU bureaucracy It would probably still be being discussed in Strasbourg & Brussels. That literally had nothing to do with it.

It's this kind of misunderstanding of reality which led to Brexit in the first place. "Under EU rules, a vaccine must be authorised by the EMA but individual countries can use an emergency procedure that allows them to distribute a vaccine for temporary use in their domestic market. Britain is still subject to those EU rules during the post-Brexit transition period which runs until the end of the year. The UK’s own medicines regulator, the MHRA, confirmed this in a statement last month. The MHRA is well-regarded as world leader in the regulation of medicine, and it has certainly chosen to move faster with vaccine approval than the EMA. But it didn’t have to rely on Brexit to do that. For example the European Commission confirmed on Monday that Hungary - an EU member - could use a Russian Covid vaccine in its domestic market if it chose to do so. The EMA says it is using a slightly slower method for licencing than the UK which it considers to be “the most appropriate regulatory mechanism for use in the current pandemic emergency, to grant all EU citizens’ access to a vaccine and to underpin mass vaccination campaigns.”

At least your corporate commiedom makes me smile I suppose. Perhaps if you got off your knees you'd be able to see other perspectives different from your own indoctrination.

It's a perfect example of someone thinking something is the fault of the EU when it literally wasn't. There are plenty of instances of people blaming the EU for something when it wasn't at all. The immigration rules being the biggest one.

I doubt that, and we wait to see if much haste less speed does not apply here. The EU’s drug regulator urged members states not to grant “hasty” approvals.

If the vaccine only reduces symptoms and doesn't provide immunity then it will mean that the hospitals will still be clogged up with numbnuts who refuse to get vaccinated because they believe they know better than medical science.

The idea that a sovereign nation even needs to notice foreign 'allowances' is absurd in the first place. Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Dec 2020 3.25pm)

There are and were reasons to criticise the EU but that wasn't one of them. You have a habit of sticking up for people that are completely wrong and shouting down people that are right don't you? Weird little habit.
