Were we ahead though? As far as I can tell ours is for emergency use and could be withdrawn at any time. The European authorisation appears more comprehensive to me as it doesn't appear to describe it as emergency use. I think for example our 'emergency use' exempts manufacturers from liability - I'm not sure that's the case for the EU authorisation.

I'm sure neither you nor I know the detailed process of going through authorisation - therefore it's an assumption to believe our process is better because it's British - I know it's the default position for many on the forum but I tend to take a more cynical view.

Success should indeed be celebrated, however token administrative processes aren't my benchmark unfortunately. Getting to 2 million vaccinated a week in timely fashion, I'm sure you would agree, would be success.
