I don't know about drug approvals but for medical devices the Canadian and Japanese regulatory bodies seem to have the highest standards.I has seen reports of some people in the UK not accepting the Pfizer vaccine as its not British.
Regarding regulatory requirements my wife has mentioned that the EMA is more rigorous in her view due to many reasons, which she can't say, but one obvious reason is they represent a lot more and diverse population.
This sounds like a deliberate move by the Oxford team to ensure UK got supply first (potentially funding linked). In December, while the UK regulators were saying approval was only days away, the European regulators stated that formal approval hadn't even been submitted to them. They can't provide approval where none has been sought.
so you are saying that the UK regulators don't care about safety and their own professional reputation, come on, that that is just mud slinging. They didn't put out any false rumours unlike the EMa, they said they would expedite the approval as they were in continuous contact with astra zenaca, and they did exactly as they said they would. It's the EMA that are the problem and this is coming from every eu country
If it's good enough for an Englishman it's good enough for the rest of us, by jingo!Do you honestly believe they should approve a vaccine for release to the public before the producer has even requested it? Before they've even submitted the trial data?
But I thought only mad dogs and English men go out in the midday sunIf it's good enough for an Englishman it's good enough for the rest of us, by jingo!

The vaccine was going to waste, 200 in fact and they tracked down as many as they could were left with 16 and used them. The vaccine has a finite life.Dublin hospitals gave vaccines to non-staff members
Two Dublin maternity hospitals have confirmed they administered vaccines to non-staff members and say it was because there were doses which would have been discarded if not used on the day.www.rte.ie
Their claim that they had to vaccinate the kids of HSE apparatschiks because they just couldn't find any front-line health care workers inside this hospital encapsulates much of what's wrong with Ireland's healthcare bureaucracy - a seemingly gargantuan sense of bureaucratic entitlement coupled with what would appear to be a view of the general public as imbeciles who will accept any excuse.
That's the official explanation but it's not credible. Most nurses and hospital porters know other nurses and hospital porters who would have been happy to get the jab had they been asked. There are thousands of them who have not yet been vaccinated.The vaccine was going to waste, 200 in fact and they tracked down as many as they could were left with 16 and used them. The vaccine has a finite life.
OK the optics are wrong but whats better throw it out?
And the above are the facts.
Kids?Their claim that they had to vaccinate the kids of HSE apparatschiks
And the others were of "varying ages" - I bet they employed an emergency PR consultant to come up with that phrase.Kids?
You realise that 9 of the 16 were over 70 years of age?
According to you its not credible, personally I don't want to see any waste.That's the official explanation but it's not credible. Most nurses and hospital porters know other nurses and hospital porters who would have been happy to get the jab had they been asked. There are thousands of them who have not yet been vaccinated.
OK so over 4 million people have not yet been vaccinated but those they could find just randomly happened to include all the hospital boss' kids?According to you its not credible, personally I don't want to see any waste.

We don't have 4m vaccines to distribute, the vaccine has a short life once opened it needs to be used.OK so over 4 million people have not yet been vaccinated but those they could find just randomly happened to include all the hospital boss' kids?
Viles apparently had more than 5 doses.The problem is that they will need to jump the q for second dose ahead of people who need it more.
It would be more defensible with a single shot vaccine.
200 seems like a lot of vial spares or scheduled doses not taken up.
Thats a fair point getting the second sooner but many are over 70 I believe.The problem is that they will need to jump the q for second dose ahead of people who need it more.
