Australia picked the dud vaccine. We stocked up on AstraZeneca rather than Moderna or Pfizer, although we've got enough Pfizer for the really old cunts at least.

So our public vaccine campaign is genuinely going to have to be this:

hrrmmm, I thought that whole vaccine was invented with compromise as a game changer for developing countries (easier transport and storage, way cheaper, compromised by less effective == requires vaccinating more for disease slowing)?
GG bros. You and India have the same strategy?

I don't know if it was just the ease of transport that sucked them in, or that they just thought it would be the best. They didn't know which one was the best when they made these deals. We have our own vaccine too, but it on't be ready until the end of 2021 even if it works.

We have enough Pfizer for about 15% of the population. That will cover health workers and a fair chunk of the elderly. But it's annoying that they didn't just secure a bit more to at least cover everyone over 60 and those with pre-existing conditions. I'm not sure if they will deploy AstraZeneca as a 'good enough' measure for the rest of the population.

It's pretty fucked how incompetent governments have been on this. Diversifying your vaccine portfolio is a drop in the bucket compared to the economic damage of covid.

According to what I read, the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is 90% effective when the right dosage is given. Something like 1 dose for the first one and then half a dose for the second one.

Still a difference of 1.25 million people protected from the virus (compared to the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines) if everyone in the country is vaccinated, though.

The half dose situation was only for under 55s. And it was an 'error'. The whole thing seems very sketchy scientifically speaking, and that's multiple experts saying that, not just me. And that's still true of Pfizer and Moderna as well. It's just even more true of AstraZeneca.

What seems sketchy about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines?
