Since the start of the epidemic, the professor has been perceived as a hero, even the “leader of the resistance” by opponents of the health policy implemented in France.

Diane Bandon-Tourret, lawyer at the Paris bar specializing in health, explained to

 the outlines of the laws governing the marketing authorization (MA) of vaccines.

“In Europe, there is a regulation that governs marketing authorizations,” she explains.

This text specifies in particular that "conditional authorizations" can be issued in emergency situations and for public health.

Vaccines against Covid-19 fall under this provision.

Article 4 of the regulation defines the situations in which a conditional authorization can be granted, among which: "The medicinal product meets unmet medical needs". "It is on this point that Professor Christian Perronne seems to be based, considering that there are treatments", explains Diane Bandon-Tourret. “This is questionable, because we have never highlighted products as the solution to covid. “Indeed, to date - just like at the time of the marketing authorizations for vaccines against Covid-19 - no treatment has received the approval of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or, in France , of the High Authority for Health.

“Anyway, there is a subtlety of the regulation which specifies that the treatment can be authorized if it presents a major therapeutic advantage” compared to a drug, continues the lawyer. Thus, even in the event of treatment, vaccination against Covid-19 will remain interesting because it has "more than 90% effectiveness" against severe forms of the disease and, above all, makes it possible to greatly limit transmission, as recalled the government.

Diane Bandon-Tourret adds: “The framework for setting up conditional marketing authorization is very strict.

There is constant monitoring which allows information to be gathered at European level.

The risk-benefit balance is constantly monitored, and it must remain positive.

»In the event that the risks, which are assessed in particular by the undesirable side effects, are greater than the benefits, the conditional marketing authorization could be suspended and reassessed.

"All the laws [relating to vaccination] have been validated by the Council of State and the Constitutional Council, in France and in the other countries of the European Union", concludes Diane Bandon-Tourret.
