The safety, efficacy and dosage of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine just keeps on being reaffirmed by study after study ... sooner or later you’re going to have to stop offering Corbynesque wishes for the success of all vaccines of whatever origin, and accept that the vaccine most closely tied to British government policy represents a major policy triumph.
Preferably sooner and not later, then I can get back to the pub. I'm not sure anyone has ever questioned the safety and the dosage was put into question themselves and contradictory analysis on whether it's the dosage or the gap that caused the benefit.

Efficacy against the South African variant is proven to be low, and the hypothesis that it prevents severe cases is just that.

Not sure what you've got against vaccines in other countries the global economy and supply chains won't return to normal (and I won't be able to get on my holidays) until the majority of people here and there get a functional vaccine against the prevalent strains.

I'll answer that for you, no it hasn't.
Has the opposite been proven? Until it has I don't see Governments taking the gamble but feel free to clutch at that straw for the time being.
