While I’m sceptical of the real world performance of the AZ vaccine on the ground - and I think we can see Government are particularly concerned that 62% reduced by the 1 dose strategy doesn’t give much headroom against the new UK/SA hybrid variant - my cynicism goes in all directions.
I wonder if the Sputnik V vaccine at 92% will push the Government to revisit it’s strategy and go for the half dose/full dose AZ that discovered highest results by accident - I think Sputnik V does the same low then high dose.
