Stop all proposed changes to the Human Medicine Regulations
Rejected

What the petition asks
The UK government are consulting on proposed changes to the Human Medicine Regulations 2012 and the Human Medicines (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 in relation to the rollout of coronavirus and influenza vaccinations.
Laws, restrictions & adequate liability are essential safeguards that should not be changed.
Changes, even temporary, should not be made to bend or stretch to fit the situation.
Unlicensed medicines should not be in the public domain
Those responsible for damages caused by vaccinations placed on the market should not be waived from civil liability. If they are safe there is no need for a waiver.
To protect the public from harm only fully trained registered practitioners, that have adequate liability cover, should be able to administer vaccinations.
Unlicensed medicines should not be advertised to the public who rely on authority for reliable advice.
Vaccines should not be traded wholesale without a licence.
