So forgive me for not jumping head first into this and being wary of potential side effects that are yet to be discovered.
The suspension of vaccine roll out is not the burial some on here have demonstrated they are interested in. Not everyone thinks reducing the global NIMBY population by horrendous death is a good idea, which is just a few small steps beyond "I'm alright Jack!". Perhaps they'll donate to build an anti-virus wall, let's start a crowdfunding site! ;D
There is a lot of politics, AstraZeneca is the only company doing this as "not for profit"! That's ruffled a lot of industry and corporate feathers, because AstraZeneca now have more than a dozen countries on board building AstraZeneca compatible facilities just like Australia. Some media types, usually business commentators, believe the idea of a big business doing something not-for-profit is antithetical to the corporate concept. Now today you'll find media starting to clarify comments, it'll be stuff like it could be related to a specific batch or it's a manufacturing error in a small quantity only. They are trying to paint out AstraZeneca's manufacturing method as unreliable, we don't want the next possible edition of Thalidomide, unfortunately these people reporting aren't bound by any ethical standards. I've seen this pattern of behaviour before, it is designed to spread doubt and brake rapid progress while opponents catch up, social media just bends over and takes a full load willingly.
