Had emerging data gone the other way they’d have to redo everyone given an AZ vaccine with a Pfizer one, essentially wasting tens of millions of doses in the process slowing down the vaccination programme and leaving the most vulnerable at risk for longer.
It’s taken what, a month for data to come from the UK? It’s hard to see the political benefit of u-turning after 4 weeks, which if it was the unambiguous science they would have known to be inevitable.

Apologies, I struggled to hear that above the whinge, whinge, whinge, and the realisation there is no cogent counter point or argument, therefore the need to take a more outlayer stance that will just look daft in in a few short weeks.
