Hancock, Rees-Mogg and Fabricant LIE about vaccine to make Brexit look good
Rees-Mogg: he seems to subscribe to the view that Goebbels claimed to have swiped from the British – that if you tell a lie big enough, people will believe it is a fact.
These Tory liars really are grotesque, aren’t they?
In order to make Brexit look like A Good Thing, they have pretended that the reason the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine won approval from the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) is because the UK is no longer in the European Union.

Worth noting that if we were still in the #EU, we would not have been allowed to roll out the #Covid vaccine. #UK passed regulations last week permitting this. #JustSayin #BrexitBenefits

MRHA chief executive June Raine has made it perfectly clear that EU rules still apply and the vaccine was approved under those rules:
The regulator seems to disagree with Hancock.
Matt Hancock – “Because we’ve left the EU, we’ve been able to move faster."
Dr June Raine(Boss, MHRA) – “We’ve been able to authorise supply of this vaccine using provisions under European law which exist until January 1st.” pic.twitter.com/QmZR4TqdmE

This Writer heard some time ago that Boris Johnson was desperate to get a vaccine approved in the UK before any other country – hence his haste to support the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine that subsequently ran into difficulties.
Now his reason seems clear: he wanted to sell us a big lie about Brexit and thought he could hang it on a vaccine announcement.
But it hasn’t worked.
Brexit had nothing to do with the vaccine’s approval.
And in any case, this is not a single nation’s achievement.
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was developed by a US/German company whose scientists are mostly of Turkish origin, if I recall correctly.
If they hadn’t invented it, the MHRA couldn’t have approved it – under European Union rules.
It’s an international effort – in this time of impending Brexit, there probably could be no better advert for countries working together.
And these Tory liars tried to fool you into thinking it was a victory for the UK going it alone because they think you’re too stupid to work out the facts. Contemptible.

I noticed that in the press briefing the Sun “reporter” in particular was baiting Bojob with this but he remained uncharacteristically restrained – is he actually listening to his advisors warnings to shut the hell up and not to be so Trumpesque in future I wonder?
Many women and men will believe these fascist tory lies which is why crooks Rees-Mogg et al all were singing from the same crooked hymn sheet! Tell a lie often enough and it becomes true and in case of fascist tories they are all xenophobes who believe their little england is an empire not a failed state!
Dick fascist johnson where are the 50,000 nurses you promised? I’m still waiting for them to magically appear!
JRM and all of the other cronies, should keep their mouths shut. It’s embarrassing enough having the barrel scrapings as a government, let alone admiring nazi beliefs which lie all too close to present attitudes within said government.
