The USA, the leader of the 1st world is not using Astra Zeneca but instead and like Israel, it is using the RNA style vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna with J & J now switching away from Astra Zeneca and concentrating exclusively on its own product
ScoMo's increasing Pfizer from 20 million to 40 million shots (enough to vaccinate all Aussies over 18 is a defacto admission that the Astra Zeneca risk and efficacy is questionable, IMO.
The issue now is how can we keep up with the rest of the world in our vaccine roll out if we are shifting away from AZ to the safer RNA products when countries like the USA , Israel etc have prior supply arrangements.
IMO this Government Covid vaccine bungling will be a major issue come the next election when the Grey Brigade who are now being offered Astra Zeneca or nothing will have an opportunity to express their dissatisfaction.
IMO its is unconscientable to only offer AZ to older people who may have blood clotting & coronary issues and instead offer the safer Pfizer to the under 50s (the breeding stock!) IMO, this discrimination is neither fair nor equitable and as such unAustralian.
