Fuming. I supported a US trial of AstraZeneca so it could undo the *unnecessary* damage to vaccine confidence from their botched initial rollout. Yesterday, I was cautious because, again, press release, no data. Turns out AZ is botching this rollout, too.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1374060809144438785 …

Can't describe how angry I think we should be at AstraZeneca right now. I hope for an investigation on the whole thing from start, including what if any role/involvement Oxford had on the botched side of things. The vaccine is fine! People in charge need to face accountability.

Yes. In my view, US institutions have generally been doing an excellent job with the vaccine trials. Credit/recognition where due.https://twitter.com/atlantictriangl/status/1374359120472649729 …

The tragedy is this all could have been avoided if AstraZeneca waited 48 hours and released a paper along with their press release, and had not called essentially outdated results "interim" (they had newer results at hand!). Repeated unnecessary missteps damaging a good vaccine!

This is how I feel. If it were available to me/my loved ones, I would not hesitate. The AZ vaccine itself is already delivering excellent results. But vaccination requires building confidence, not just good vaccines, and process matters. See Europe, too.https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1374351260191649794 …

I honestly do NOT think there's anything else wrong! The US Data and Safety Monitoring Board has the (more final) results, and it really doesn't look like there is anything wrong besides AZ's repeated errors in the public-facing handling of a good vaccine.https://twitter.com/pvancleaf/status/1374390973812252674 …

Very fair point! Do you think that those who contributed to the problem itself can reverse it in any way?

The accountability will come through lack of paying customers. It’s all good.
