For the launch of a vaccine, credibility is essential

And so senior government ministers should not be lying about the regulatory aspects of the vaccine so to score points for Brexit

The MHRA has confirmed it is acting under EU law

Brexit made no difference

Here is the proof, in black and white

Article 5(2) of Directive 2001/83/EC

Still in force until 31 December 2020

Given that anti-vaxxers will exploit any uncertainty, it is difficult to overstate how irresponsible it is for UK ministers to associate the authorisation of the vaccine with a demonstrable untruth

fwiw, I have posted this on FB if you want to share there
