Facts, eh - the enemy of the gullible conspiracists… 🤪

I'm not sure how many times this has to be explained. We left the EU at the end of January 2020 but entered a transition period that lasted till the 31st Decenber 2020 during which we still followed EU regulations. Thus toward the end of 2020 when the vaccine rollout started we would have been subject to any veto on it under EU regulations (though I guess we could have ignored it). In fact the EU had no veto over vaccine rollouts so we wer on equal footing with Germany, France and every remaining EU country, in that we could hanlde the rollout however we wished.

And remember what I said! Huh, huh, huh!!! Let the bodies pile high!!!

"The truth has no defense against a fool determined to believe a lie".

Oh deary me Spit - so you had the vaccine 4 times but you don’t believe in its efficacy….? Why did you have it? Bizarre logic 🤪😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Stick to.preaching to kids a4e, Im Glad The Oxford Zen vaccine wasn't withdrawn 😂

We were not outside the EU. How many times does June Raine's explanation have to be pointed out. "We have been able to authorise the supply of this vaccine using provisions under European law, which exist until the first of January [2021]." Watch from 0:57 here [Link]

All vaccines come with a risk, Spit - all of them. Multiple tens of millions of people suffered no ill effects whatsoever from the vaccine, and were mostly protected from the worst effects if they contracted the virus. As with the flu jab, you’re not immune from catching the virus, but you are afforded a degree of mitigation against the worst effects, and far less likely to end up hospitalised or dead. That’s how vaccines work. Don’t listen to knobs like Andrew Bridgen 🤡

Lol,as football fans would sing,#"is that the best that you can do"

OI - they could have - but they didn't. Groupthink at work. We were outside the EU so probably didn't even look at the relevant EU rules and just got on with it.

OI - tens of thousands of lives saved in the UK - I would describe as a tangible Brexit benefit!

It is clearly necessary for some people to hold to their belief that the EU could have halted the vaccine rollout. If it is the best Brexit benefit people can find, then I guess they better stick with it.

Spit - just read up about Slattery. Very sad.

RIP Tony Slattery

And the link between the EU and UK is somewhat more tangible than that between you and Elon Musk.

Good to see another sleeze cabinet member resign, vote Labour get the Conservative on steriods😂

So threatening Astra Zeneca unless they refused to fulfill orders to the UK isn't disapproval? As you wish.

Lol, rewind 4 years,have an inquiry and don't include any talk on those that died and got injured by the covid vaccine .hush hush.

Claiming Covid vaccines as a Brexit benefit is just a bit desperate - what about those lovely passports? Not noticed much in the way of "taking back control" of our borders or these great trade deals. Still that's the mess we're now in

And without EU disapproval because they had no control over the dcision. It is a bit like saying I'm going to the match on Saturday without Elon Musk's approval.

Fact is though, we did what we did without EU approval

Just seen your post Bert, so it's 18 now.
