Just days before the make or break Brexit deadline, Britain has managed to offend Europe and other countries around the world.
Health Secretary for England Matt Hancock said Britain had become the first country in the world to approve and start vaccinations because of Brexit.
It had been been able do so because the UK regulators did not have to go at the 'bit slower speed of the Europeans'.
The prime minister also hailed the achievement and said the scientists had used 'biological ju-jitsu' to defeat the virus.
The Brexit claim was refuted by Europe's regulators who said Britain was still subject to EU laws.
USA health chiefs also criticised Britain stressing that the development of a vaccine was not a race but an international effort - the Pfizer vaccine was the work of a German and a US company.
Announcing that vaccinations would begin next week, the prime minister said the nation was no longer resting on the mere hope of a return to normal life next spring but had certain knowledge'.
