- dwd 5y agoBeing able to manufacture locally was still a good idea but the thrombosis issue (and the overreaction) turned people off taking AstraZeneca, and there was no Plan B or C. Governments don't have a lot of credibility to start with, so no one believes them when they say it's better than Covid - similar situation with the J&J vaccine in the US. Maybe a few more deaths and more lockdowns will turn people around.
