With weeks to go before vaccine delivery, misinformation and conspiracy theories are flooding social media. Facebook says they’re fighting back, but experts say the problem is bigger.LONDON -- U.K. regulators went on the offensive Friday to beat back criticism that they rushed their authorization of a COVID-19 vaccine, saying they rigorously analyzed data on safety and effectiveness in the shortest time possible without compromising the thoroughness of their review.
The media blitz comes amid concerns that criticism of the approval process could undermine public confidence in the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, leading some individuals to shun shots. Britain plans to begin vaccinating people within the next few days, starting with nursing home residents, caregivers and people over age 80.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had told U.S. media outlets that U.K. regulators hadn’t acted “as carefully” as the Food and Drug Administration. He later clarified to the BBC that he had meant to say that U.S. authorities do things differently than their British counterparts, not better, but didn't phrase his comments properly.
In addition, Britain decided to take advantage of EU rules that allow individual countries to allow the emergency use of new products inside their own borders in response to public health emergencies. The EU's European Medicines Agency chose a more time-consuming authorization process that will allow the vaccine to be used in all 27 member nations.
“Consequently, the U.K. has almost undoubtedly had greater capacity to respond to a new application for authorization of a vaccine than any other country,” Evans said.
He has changed his tuned so two faced. will we be given informed consent with the new vaccine. Surely as we are for any other medical procedure we take even at the dentist!

Putin, take Trump as prime minister, chief minister, create jobs in Russia.
Fauci has misguided the US all year. He talks in circles of conflicting issues. He did not support Trumps Warp Speed program because he said science could not be rushed. It is the program that will curb the virus, not masks. He and Biden are idiots
See the problem is that we are letting science dictating our style of life and yet even science is very confused and not so united on what is best for all of us. I do have a problem with this!
Well at least Dr. Fauci didn't listen to Donald Trump. 'Trump Asked Fauci Why Health Officials Couldn’t Simply Let Coronavirus ‘Wash Over’ the Country: WaPo'
