Sadly the answer is “we” can do sod all about it.
You think ANY snout in trough politician is going to vote to remove it?
Unfortunately they wont.
Many other Nations including many deemed " not up to UK Standards" do have anti-corruption laws and do charge people
It’s a big problem with social media @Donkey_Schlong posts that but ignores the fact 30m people think Boris et al are doing a good job #lookatvaccinerollout

Interesting that AZ is more effective - maybe the Germans and french should take note
They have a real problem - after weeks of shit canning the AZ vaccine out of spite, they cannot get their people to take it (surprise, surprise) - they have only managed to administer 15% of the doses delivered.
Interesting article on this subject in today’s Telegraph Business section, if it is correct then France (& Spain) are in for a very tough couple of months.
point is though the lead on this was NOT government, just the local independent technology appraisers highlighting a fact. The ‘n’ number or number within each age range of the study population was too low to ensure statistically significant efficacious effect in these age groups. This is standard practice and if there has been any political influence over how the data have been reviewed during the approval process, its most likely that it was by the UK on the MHRA as the same guiding principles also applied in the UK… and should still do
The purpose of the statistical significance is not something that should be dismissed lightly as its based on years of accumulated best clinical practice. It should also not be politicised by either side… This is about following established protocols.
