I see Ontario in Canada is rejecting the new data studies on the AZ vaccine and refusing to sanction it to over 65s. Because it is 'less effective in their view'. When the data says the opposite.
That original message has created problems everywhere that look like still being hard to break down. In India they are still not using it either and opting for their own vaccine that seems to have had little positive attention elsewhere.
I was hoping we were over these vaccine wars but it seems not.
We really have to get to the point where nobody asked who makes the vaccine. Like we have with virtually every other vaccine in history. It is THE jab. You get it. That's all. Not an economic battle of big pharma protecting its own.
Viewing perhaps the most important vaccination programme in global history as a commercial competition is going to cost many lives needlessly.
This is the kind of story our journalists should be chasing.
