The counterfactual ‘if UK was still in EU it would have slowed vaccinations’ doesn’t make sense.
Without #Brexit, UK could have (and surely would have):
🙅🏻♂️Said no to joint procurement
👨🔬Emergency-authorised early
But couldn’t have:
Had vaccine deliveries from EU restricted

When you point out UK did both these things last year while under EU rules, some say "but if we werent leaving we'd have been pressured to stay in line"
Who really believes any such pressure would have worked? UK has refused to join EU programs all the time (ex: Schengen & euro)

The EU joint procurement scheme has always been *voluntary*. All EU/EEA countries decided it's best to join it to avoid #VaccineWar.
Once they join, they can't make side deals for vaccines in the program. But UK surely wouldn't have joined in 1st place.

A thread on conditional authorisation (used by EU) versus emergency use authorisation (used by UK & US) for vaccines - a topic that I think is going to be more explored in the coming days given the AstraZeneca news out of Germany today.
First off: what's the difference?

Each type of vaccine approval comes with pros and cons:
🐇Emergency is faster but it's risky - requires less data and makes govs liable instead of pharma if anything goes wrong.
🐢Conditional takes longer but is more robust and makes pharma accountable.

The 27 national authorities decided EMA should use conditional approval back in October, at a time when the extent of the 2nd wave & new strains wasn't yet known.
The UK & US chose emergency approval - controversial in US at the time because it looked like Trump was rushing it.

BREAKING: Germany's vaccine committee says there is not enough data to give a green light for #AstraZeneca vaccine to be used on patients over 65.
EMA approval at EU level still pending tomorrow...

I think all of the focus on one % figure in the German media reports about this over the past days obscured the larger point: Germany is not comfortable giving this shot to the only category of people who are receiving it right now.
Given this new development in Germany, I would guess that EU Medicines Agency approval for the #AstraZeneca vaccine tomorrow is now seriously in doubt.
If EMA doesn't approve, does it render the whole #VaccineWar thing suddenly moot?

This law deems vaccine manufacturers not financially liable for vaccine injuries. Taxpayers payout the claim instead.
