Brexit is likely going to save British lives....the red tape of belonging to the European union would have delayed the delivery of the vaccine to the subjects of Britain...
Regarding purchasing of the vaccine, Fund quotes Hugo Fry, the British managing director of Sanofi, the world’s fifth-biggest drug maker.

How Brexit will help Britain get vaccinated
I believe the UK is the first Western nation to approve a vaccine against the Wuhan coronavirus. Apparently, it is also leading other European nations when it comes to efficiently purchasing that vaccine. Why? John Fund suggests that the answer is Brexit. Regarding purchasing of the vaccine...
