OK, then...
I suspect that if it challenges the conspiracy theory that Ursula von der Leyen got scientists in various EU countries to age cap use of the AstraZeneca vaccine then some will wish it sidelined

Covid: Oxford jab protection against South Africa variant 'limited'

The Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid jab gives limited protection against mild disease caused by the South Africa variant, the firm said early trials had suggested.

It also said it had not yet fully determined whether the vaccine protects against severe disease caused by the more transmissible coronavirus variant.

The preliminary findings from a small study of more than 2,000 people have not yet been peer-reviewed.

More than 100 cases of the South Africa variant have been found in the UK.
