Re: Coronavirus

Interesting take in the reasons for the campaign to rubbish the AZ vaccine, on Quora.

Quote:
You can get out your tinfoil had for the next bit: you have been warned. Clearly given the huge price advantage AZ enjoys, no other vaccine has a future once unlimited supplies are available. They have a limited window while scarcity exists to make as much money as they can. Ask yourself whether it suits those rival companies to have the Oxford AZ vaccine discredited as much as possible. To raise doubts about its effectiveness. To taint it with “political” or “ethical” doubts. Ideally all of the above. And ask yourself whether it suits political leaders to amplify this synthetic outrage, partly in defence of local pharmaceutical companies, and partly in anticipation of questions about why they threw hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money at those companies for no real return, except perhaps to the companies’ shareholders.

He did give a tinfoil hat caveat before proposing his theory, but I can see the logic.
