Ok, heres something a bit more neutral. Astrazeneca - 62% efficacy when given the recommended dose. That sounds awfully low, even to an arm chair no body on a car forum.
Scientists call for pause on AstraZeneca vaccine rollout

This bit gets me...
"On Tuesday, the Australasian Virology Society confirmed to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald that it supported an immediate pause in plans to roll out the AstraZeneca vaccine until research proved it was effective enough to achieve herd immunity.
But following a furious internal debate, the president of the virology society contacted The Age and the Herald late on Tuesday evening to say it had changed its position and no longer opposed the rollout of the vaccine.
When asked why the society was changing its official position at the last moment, its president, Professor Gilda Tachedjian, said: "That’s for us to know and you to find out"."
WTF is this? Some sort of game?!? Anyhow, I hope our pollies aren't pressuring the TGA to approve the vaccine just because we have bought the rights to produce it locally.
