The important thing to note is that the significance of this study goes beyond the AZ vaccine. Please correct me if I've missed one, but from what I've seen there aren't any other vaccines that have completed similar trials in South Africa. The "good news" about the other vaccines' effectiveness against the variant have been based on in vitro immune response[1], not real-world trials. What would be good to know though is what response the AZ vaccine had in tests similar to the ones performed with other vaccines.
