Nice summary [member=57]ElwoodBlues1[/member]
I think AZ have been very tactical, a COVID vaccine might not even be part of their long term plan, as they got a bunch of governments to fund the setup of local vaccine manufacture based on their technologies. But that requires patents and contracts to defend which is expensive.
Pfizer have gone for more immediate gains, with closed proprietary techniques some of which is commercial in confidence.
I'm not sure which tactic is wiser long term.
