女方丈為咗攻擊美帝可以去到幾盡？
（英國首相隔咗個大西洋都躺著中槍）

尋日美國眾議院議長女方丈Pelosi批評美帝對疫苗同特效藥嘅審批態度嘅時候，忍唔住連英國嘅藥物制度同首相肥波都鬧埋。

"My concern is that the UK’s system for that kind of judgment is not on a par with ours in the United States. So if Boris Johnson decides he is going to approve a drug and this president embraces that, that is a concern that I have."
（我擔心嘅係英國嘅藥品審批制度，根本及唔上我地美國嘅水平。所以如果Boris Johnson決定批准嘅藥而總統欣然接受嘅話，我本人就好有保留囉。）

呢番說話傳到英國之後，無論傳媒、政客去到政府藥物機構即時癲咗，英國衛生部（The UK Department for Health and Social Care）回應：

"the UK had some of the most robust standards for approving new treatments and vaccines in the world”.

英國Adam Smith Institute（亞當斯密研究所）首席研究員Matthew Lesh ：

"Pelosi has no idea what she’s talking about — absolutely no evidence that the U.K. is lax on approving drugs compared to the US."

為咗攻擊美帝，搞到傷兩國民，尤其是醫療同研究人員嘅和氣，何必呢？

#女方丈份人
#疫苗同特效藥是蘑菇的
#肥波躺著也中槍
