Original Note:
NNN - above note is an opinion & incorrect. Under European law, the UK was permitted to act independently to approve the vaccine in an emergency. Since 2012 the UK has been free to give approval to medicinal products during a public health threat, ie a pandemic. https://fullfact.org/health/coronavirus-vaccine-brexit/ https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-brexit-did-not-speed-up-uk-vaccine-authorisation https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/02/hancock-brexit-helped-uk-to-speedy-approval-of-covid-vaccine https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/covid-vaccine-decisions-brexit
