Scary to think she thinks we dont have some organisation for the testing of things like vaccines or drugs in general, yes we do actually and when things go wrong in testing them like in the instance of TGN1412 caused cytokine release syndrome they must subject the case to two one gov't affiliated one and if that seems I don't know how to phrase it but is sent to an independent one (essentially the TGN1412 trial the gov't agency investigation was biased towards the original approval for the trial, the independent one wasn't actually went more indepth into what the drug was and the rest

Patrick B "He's not referring to illegal substances like cannabis. He's talking about substances that violate food and safety regulations. Like the fact that you wash your chicken with chlorine. " Though not sure if its actually illegal to bleach eggs, but we most certainly do not here What is that bs about not having regulatory bodies for the testing of drugs, actually probably miles better than the US's wasn't there a commenter who said about a drug that was found to cause cancer yet they had stockpiles of it still, I mean here yeah going back to the TGN1412 trial disaster in believe it was 2006, the gov't regulator for such things was biased when investigating why the test candidates ended up going into a cytokine storm which could have left them with multiple organ failure etc and death of course, but knowing that was likely unsatisfactory an independent one was done where they went much further into the drugs research history and found it to be entirely inadequate Nor is it actually Boris's capability of even approving it, is lead by various clinical professionals who have that say, he can't simply approve or disapprove of a drug he just hasn't got that power, the NHS has their own body for approving if a treatment is granted on the NHS though if the previous one approves it and is in the nations best interests then yes (as will be the case of this)

@outofthetrash5925 Aye for a start having a regulatory body (is not the PM's authority to approve or disapprove of drugs just doesnt have the power for that) MHRA Medicine and Healthcare Regulatory Authority also approve and disapprove drug trials as well, the only thing a minister can approve of and disapprove of is the health minister for the NHS due to costings that being right now Matt Hanncock but thats wether the health minister allows it to be on the NHS which if approved by the MHRA will likely get automatically approved anyway though would be further complicated with regarding the NHS with the Clinical Commissioning Groups but I don't think that'd apply here in this instance (as they have the authority to approve or disapprove/deny treatments) to be quite honest
