to be deployed
in the united states.
it was a very public
way of discussing this.
it was incredibly transparent.
the kind of detail that many
people in many other countries
would've loved to have seen
in their own nations.
yes.
i'm really glad
you brought that up.
because although i have
enormous confidence
in the british regulatory
authorities it wasn't
as public and transparent
as in the united states.
i think it's a wonderful
illustration that the
united states institutions can
be rigorous, thorough
and transparent.
even as we were rushing
toward a vaccine.
and this is particularly
important.
i think i have to say this,
that under the trump
administration the cdc
and of course the us
fda has been put under
enormous political pressure.
and i've said from the start
that i think that the us public
health institutions will bend
but they will not break.
