One of the lead scientists behind the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has warned against delaying the vaccination rollout in Australia, saying it could protect people today.Professor Andrew Pollard says the impact of a vaccine is not properly felt until "they're in people's arms"Australia has 53 million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab already on orderwhether the vaccine would be effective enough to achieve herd immunity.
"I think one can predict that there is going to be further transmission of the virus so we need populations to be protected as soon as possible," he said. Professor Pollard was responding to debate in Australia over whether the Federal Government should delay the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab because it is not as effective in generating heard immunity as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, which have up to 95 per cent efficacy.
“What these nearsighted scientists don’t seem to understand is that if we rollout too quickly, then voters in marginal seats may forget they were prioritised when the election gets here! What a waste of taxpayers money that would be!!” ScottyFromMarketing

A Self-serving spruik by AZ to buy their partly effective vaccine. The last thing we need is 100% of people thinking they are immune when in reality one third are not because Morrison bought a dud vaccine.
The Oxford vaccine offers good protection will soon be available for rapid inoculation. Chasing a possible future better result is not a wise strategy. 'The perfect is the enemy of the good'
