      Unpopular opinion We should give away the millions of doses of stockpiled AZ vaccine What? Don't I care about vaccinating Americans? By time AZ is authorized by FDA, we'll have LOTS of vaccines The time to use AZ here would have been in January By May, we won't need it

      Wouldn't really say it's unpopular... I don't think I've seen a single person on twitter arguing for the opposite

      I argued for giving away stockpile couple of weeks ago and got LOTS of pushback And lots of pushback in many circles including Congress So yup, may be in certain circles of Twitter, its not unpopular But in the broader population, not so popular while demand>supply

      There is a lot of pushback! Even on Twitter! (Ask me how I know, lol and see link below). But I've been (on purpose) actively engaging the pushback as time allows, and I find most people are actually fairly conceivable once you walk through their concerns.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1372164756648423431 …

      One concern is "I can't get an appointment yet". (I get it). But I found walking people through the authorization timeline *and* (a crucial *and*) the importance of using the vaccines now (explaining exponential threat) rather than in a month... People seemed a lot more open.

      My other, countervailing question is how much an FDA approval now of this cleaner Phase 3 readout could contribute to better uptake of the vax in Europe or elsewhere. E.g.: "See? The data now look great, the efficacy disparity is answered, no safety issues, the FDA is satisfied."

      Yes. That's why I supported waiting for this trial to conclude here. The world needed this. That said, I'm waiting for their paper, to be honest, after the last round of announcement-by-press-release by Oxford/AZ turned into "oh yeah also that dosing thing" etc. But looks good!

          Agree 100%. I think in terms of rescuing the optics, today's data give the best possible result. Hopefully this really turns sentiment around.

          I am confused is the trial or the experimental phase done or ongoing?
