Why does she need Vice President level clearance if she only would be involved in medical department? It's not only unwise, but dangerous to her and to sensitive projects/equipment, if she goes somewhere without knowing proper safety protocols.
I'd argue even VP shouldn't have clearance everywhere because there are places where only dedicated specialist should decide who goes in, when and where.
Wouldn't it make more sense to create proper hierarchy of clearances and give certain people a flexible set of permissions, that can be revised as needed, based on project and other considerations?

The rationale is, that more than likely, Amy would only be coming to her anyways. The security set up is, only board member level people can even access Taylor's lab without additional security measures. Basically, if Taylor is in there, and you do not have Alpha level access, then you cannot get in there without Taylor allowing you in. Not even the janitor is allowed into that room unless Taylor is there and gives them permission.
We probably could have gone in a bit deeper on that. But Amy is smart enough to read between the lines, and having worked in a hospital, there were probably areas off limits to her in the first place anyways. So she understands that if its not part of her thing, she doesnt need to be there. And really, Taylor would be the only reason she would be entering Taylor's lab in the first place.
And as the other personnel. It's pretty much common sense, there really is no point to access any place you really aren't knowledgeable on. Or have a reason to do so. Furthermore, the system actually tracks who enters into rooms and facilities in real time. So, good luck with security breaches.

There's also the fact that, even if they aren't pushing that as her 'primary role' (or even one of the ones they're making use of), Panacea is, well. The healer. So this can easily be spun as 'if she wants into an area where she's not meant to be despite have access, she knows she's not going to be thrilled about the results... But also if something happens, having her able to get somewhere and heal people is of critical importance'.
Particularly when at the current time the 'big security risk' is basically Taylor and Taylor, who Panacea's already more or less slid into the role of on-site medical monitor. Not the person in charge of Taylor's medical status but still. And this is something unlikely to be openly discussed to either Taylor or Panacea by the others, even if they know what's up with it.

Ok, I readily admit that I'm not an expert of any sort, but I thought that a hair root would be required to use hair for cloning purposes (dead vs living?), not just cut off pieces, so I strongly doubt that the hair "Giovanni" smuggled out is going to be used to clone Taylor, but I can't say anything about parahuman abilities with the same. This is going to be interesting.

Even in the case that a follicle/root is needed, which is a big if in the face of the abritratry rules and requirements of powers in general, most professional haircuts in my experience also have 'thinning' and 'shaping' involved in making the 'do, and usually end up with a few pulled hairs coming loose nearer the root anyway, not just clean cuts at the very ends. Dude definitely got the needed bits if clones are the goal here, which is still in question. Could just be going to a Stranger to mimic biometrics to get into Taylor's files and tech vaults (which might not even work, the way Focuses are designed) or go to just a straight up power copier or someone with even shadier ways to use it to attack Taylor (or anyone else who lost some hairs) from a distance. Could be enemy Elite, could be Cauldron, could by anything.

I cannot help but feel a bit sorry for Carol and her family (despite being 100% in agreement that all of this needed to happen): to my understanding the tragedy of her character is that (beyond how she is sometimes depicted in fanon) she does genuinely love Amy, it is just that whenever she interacts with her in circumstances where she does not feel in control, trauma takes over and, without even noticing conciously, her first instinct becomes to stomp down hard, if only to protect Amy from the risk of sliding into the groove left by her father (which in Carol's mind would be the most horrifying fate imaginable for her daughter).
Now, all this having been said, this does not in any way excuse or justify what Amy had to live through growing up, abuse coming from a place of well-meaning protectiveness and love distorted by trauma is still abuse. This is also compounded by the Black and White Insanity the Dallon ladies tend to embrace at their worst. This story had no chance to end without pain.
I'm glad Amy gets to have a new start, I hope things improve for her ("Worm-is-suffering" notwithstanding)

Carol bitch what family what you have at your house it's a bunch of hostages. You are happy that's the PRT took most of it Amy's assets so that she could never be free of you your house was going to be her personal bird cage forever.
I like the Pelhams but they were wrong to help remove the only stabilizing force in Brockton Bay and then had the nerve to look surprised after breaking into somebody else's home that somebody did the same to them.
New wave is only relevant because of amy, and because they conspired with the PRT by helping them hide her and letting them seize her assets, They let Victoria hide/disguise her master status.
Hell for allowing amelia to be overworked at the hospital for free carol should be forced to pay some restitution.
