I cannot let this comment go unanswered because you are incorrect. Under European law, the UK was permitted to act independently to approve the vaccine in an emergency. So please do not promote this nonsense, it is extremely unhelpful and fake news. You should verify the accuracy of such statements before making them. Here is the proof: Vaccine approval isnāt quicker because of Brexit - Full Fact

Read what I have written again,
I was talking about āthe other lotā highly pressurising us to join the EU procurement process for the vaccines, which, if we had joined, would have stopped us doing our own negotiations, and therefore stopped us being fleet enough to get well ahead of the game.
Which fortunately, the government was sensible enough to completely ignore
You are talking about Brexit, and EU EMA law, which is completely different, and has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
I am absolutely correct, so stop putting words into my mouth, which I did not use, that is the fake news, that you are propagating.
You should verify the accuracy of such statements before making them. this is what I said copied from above, Here is the proof:
He has done so much better than the other lot,
they would have tied us to the EU procurement of the vaccines and development, and many more of us would have died unnecessarily.

@Bronte you may find it useful to read through this page Antibody and antiviral treatments for people with blood cancer | Blood Cancer UK
A section of this page explains
"Due to the previous problems that many people with blood cancer have had being contacted about new treatments, we would advise that as soon as you get a positive lateral flow test result, you contact 111, your GP and/or your hospital team, as any of these can refer you urgently for a telephone assessment with the CMDU. Make sure you have contact details for your hospital teamās out of hours service, in case you test positive at the weekend or any time outside their normal working hours."
