> The problem is that this option is to buy AZ's current vaccine that have a high probability of being ineffective in 18 months. I doubt that is a "high probability" occurrence. If it does occur and AZ makes a lot of money, I don't care. The EU has many shitloads of money to spend, spread out your bets, go to town, reward every vaccine producer with huge profits, that's what we want, we want all of the companies that bet big on developing products - successful or unsuccessful - to make money off this thing. That way if it happens again they won't be shy about giving it another go!
