They were apparently producing these in secret against regulations. They were waiting for the EU to approve them. I don’t think it’s quite all on AZ in this case. They were in defiance of regulations to even make those doses.
Edit: nevermind, seems they didn’t even ask for approval.
- varispeed 6y agoAre vaccines a controlled substance? If I wanted to create a vaccine in my spare bedroom, would I have to seek bureaucrat to approve my bio shenanigans?
- bitexploder 6y agoI think it would only apply if you tried to give it to a human other than yourself.
- brianwawok 6y agoIn most of the US until very recently you couldn't grow pot for yourself. So mix some random chemicals and inject yourself = legal Mix random chemicals that happen to be a controlled substance and inject yourself = illegal? What happens if you accidentally rediscover a controlled substance?
- varispeed 6y agoSo they were completely fine to manufacture them as long as they were not given to people and countries like UK would accept those.
- SamBam 6y agoIt doesn't sound like that, no. It seems those doses were legal for use in the UK, which had already approved that plant. It seems these were bound for exports, so not clear why the Italians have them.
