After the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine was approved in the UK, misinformation and fake news has been spreading

Good. BBC debunks Hancock claims.

UK acted under EU law to do rush approval.
BBC also notes “European Commission confirmed earlier this week that Hungary – an EU member – could use a Russian Covid vaccine in its domestic market if it chose to do so.”

Also don’t forget that this vaccine, en route from Belgium to the UK right now, was supported by a £100m loan from the European Investment Bank.

It’s been an international effort. https://t.co/1vRo81HvtA
developed by American&German companies Turkish scientists,approved under Eu rules. The only thing we did was do less rigorous testing. It’s nothing to do with brexit,whose only contribution will be to make it harder to import from Belgium where it’s made.https://t.co/rFDNe4hnB5

All they have left now are the lies. How long before they claim the formula for the vaccine was devised by white Anglo Saxon males in a Wetherspoons in Tunbridge Wells? https://t.co/54JaSYG8Uw

Tory MPs lying about roll out of the vaccine and claiming it's a Brexit win when it isn't. If you're happy to be lied to you probably voted for this shower of dicks in the first place.

The driver behind Trump's latest pardon talk is a fear he'll be prosecuted once he's out of office. In his recorded address, he says, "I hear that the same people who failed to get me in Washington have sent every piece of information to NY so that they can try to get me there."
