What a surprise, Americans don’t like the idea that a vastly cheaper and more manageable vaccine might be about as effective as the two cryogenically cooled, eye-wateringly expensive ones developed in ... America.

The Oxford vaccine works, the headline announcement actually went with the average of all test results in any case (70%, which is still very effective), and even on Monday they were quite explicit in explaining where the 90% sample came from and how they were following it up.

Americans have protectionist instincts. No surprise there. This is a non story.
