Steckers, you're right about the rolling review of data, however the MHRA only gave temporary authorisation because they relied to a large extent on the manufacturer's own analysis and evaluation of their data rather than go through the long process of doing the number crunching for themselves. It was temporary because the MHRA were insufficiently confident that there was no variation between each batch of vaccine produced and this is why there has been a bit of hold up in the vaccines getting through to the practitioners as each batch has had to undergo a separate testing process.
There is no reason why the manufacturer's data analysis should be wrong provided they themselves aren't by-passing/rushing through certain stages of the testing process. If they haven't been then what the approval authorities are doing is largely a duplication of the work of the manufacturers. Unfortunately, as we saw with the Boeing 737 Max, reliance on manufacturer's analysis can have dire consequences. So there is an element of risk in what we did, but hopefully a small one.

Good luck, watch out for that second nose!

Re: FIRSTJAB
That's not true though is it?
".....the crowing of the health secretary, Matt Hancock, who claimed the fast approval as a Brexit triumph. He had to backtrack. The MHRA’s chief executive, June Raine, pointed out that the agency had simply taken advantage of a provision that any country in Europe could use, to fast-track approval in a pandemic".
Therefore, the idea that being out of the EU meant GB could speed up the process, was proven to be nonsense quite a while ago.

We'll done on intentionally missing the point of my post.
Any comment on the cost per unit of vaccine paid by the government, in comparison to the EU?
It's becoming more apparent daily that supporters of Johnson and his ilk, are resorting to arguments as dead as the seafood left on the docks up and down the "nation".
Really, have the Covidiots not done enough harm now?
