I think we're bordering upon the murky realm of conspiracy theories here. Has every medical approval body in the EU really been instructed to pend approval of the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in elderly people so as to make the EU's purhasing decisions look somewhat better? Perhaps every scientist has been given hush money and given a secret £200k pension to keep quiet about this matter?
Like most conspiracy theories, the truth is rather more boring. There is insufficient data available at the moment that provides these scientists with the confidence they seek.
