Any answer dave blue?
The people of Britain should be proud that politicians have agreed that they want to do something? That's setting the bar very low.
I would be concerned about my mental stability if reading a press release about approval of a drug made me feel 'proud' for my country. Being first is good, so long as it doesn't end up backfiring. Yet another example of the UK public sector firing on all cylinders and servicing the public need, glad to see you boys flipping on this issue and giving them the credit they deserve.
As for the idea that we should fawn all over the government for spending our own money on something to stop us dying... Well it is good that at least some of the trillions managed to find its way to useful purposes. After the scathing nao report I wondered if these vaccines we had pre ordered were from pharma companies at all or if we would find out we gave 15 billion to jenricks mum to try and concoct a vaccine in her kitchen.
So a question which it seems to me was asked to provoke a political discussion has, more or less, fallen into predictable divisions where you often only need to see someone's name to know what they're going to say. Trying to be honest, I think "proud" is the wrong word, pleased yes, but what is there to be proud about? I'll give the UK Government due credit for putting arrangements in place whereby we have a supply of vaccines which all of the information available currently says will work, but does that somehow clear the slate for the litany of cock ups, poor decisions, fence sitting, deals for mates and u turns we've seen from Johnson and co throughout 2020 when it comes to Covid? Of course not.
this thread has huge potential for future bump-a-bility, either (a) for heralding great success in combatting or controlling the virus or (b) for the potential arisal of life changing side effects or birth defects after several months of administering the vaccine in the population.
time will tell, hopefully the roll out will be a huge success.
The EMA is likely to approve the vaccine before year end. I can't imagine that they will have access to any more data than MHRA had. After all we are talking about a few weeks delay compared to UK. The MHRA is a world renowned regulatory authority and until recently the EMA itself was based in London. It's now moved to Amsterdam because of Brexit.
There is no evidence that the EMA has chosen to await analysis of all data to instill public confidence. That's just your misinformed opinion.
Yes we should be grateful that the BioN Tech research was part funded by the EU, and I hope European citizens will be grateful that the Oxford vaccine is being part funded by UK government
