While his government works on pushing through a bill described as illegal and dangerous, Boris Johnson has been hiding in Germany attending the G7 summit, where he granted an interview to CNN’s Jake Tapper.
One question got an answer to rival Johnson’s “I paint wine boxes to look like buses.” moment. Watch what happened.
Jake Tapper: Is the UK better off after leaving the EU?
Boris Johnson: It is.. we had the fastest vaccine roll out b/c we were outside the European medicine agency
Jake Tapper: So you couldn't have done that otherwise
Boris Johnson: Correctamundo
JT: Your quoting the Fonz pic.twitter.com/J7qtFf61wg

The UK is measurably poorer than it was before it left the EU, it made no difference to vaccine development or procurement that the UK wasn’t in the European Medicines Agency and everything it did could have been done as part of the EU.
Apart from that, it was completely true – he did quote the Fonz.
Peter Stefanovic added some all-important detail.
Jeez. Unable to think of a single benefit @BorisJohnson just BAREFACED LIED about Brexit during this @CNN interview with @jaketapper & actually quoted Fonzie whilst doing it

God help me, I have just seen that clip in which Boris Johnson lies about the UK's vaccination programme to CNN's Jake Tapper and then says "correctamundo".

And @BorisJohnson lies again…
This time to CNN’s @jaketapper
UK was never “in” EMA. That’s an agency building that moved London -> Amsterdam in 2019.
But, critically, we were still in Single Market for Medicines (ie EU rules) when we approved Pfizer.pic.twitter.com/1lAB1Ao7Yv

You can see he's just making it up on the fly. I've interviewed enough people to spot an unprepared bullshitter. https://t.co/Q4ufv32p2Y
