I've held off commenting on the updated AZ vaccine advice. Obviously it makes me angry, that I missed a Pfizer dose by not waiting 2 more weeks, I thought they wouldn't budge. I told you so seems childish, but far out it's a common theme in Australia, where even 5 minutes of thought reveals the stupidity of so much of what goes on. Michael is a leading haematologist in the UK, where they've used a lot of AZ, so their data is important. He warned about the 50-59 age group months ago. This is now data emerging for safety of second dose, which the government and experts here said was absolutely fine yesterday. Let's remember this when this vaccine is eventually withdrawn entirely.
