CV and mad panic behaviour

[PaulP]

All the numerous statistics I have seen have the Pfizer at around 80% effective and the Astra Z at 60% effective. Both work well but one is clearly superior.

"Although phase 3 clinical trial data indicated the AstraZeneca vaccine had an efficacy of around 70%, new real-world data from the United Kingdom tells us it could be as much as 85%-90% effective in protecting against symptomatic COVID-19.

This is positive news and not far off the 95% figure for the Pfizer vaccine seen in clinical trials and in the real world."

If I was given a choice, I'd probably choose the Pfizer, but the differences, if any exist, are so minor that it's barely worth worrying about IMO.

The situation is evolving so rapidly, it's hard to keep up. We are in the early changes of a long game with covid, and how the various vaccines fare over the long term could be very different to the current state of play.
