That’s not how I read it. I read it as undermining the cheaper vaccine because.
A. Other vaccine producers, many of which are domestic pharmaceutical companies within the EU and other nations o/s of it, are way behind the curve. So any delay that they can put on the use of the AZ vaccine will help them catch up and get a slice of the pie.
B. The AZ vaccine costs far less than other vaccines, for now at least, so again the need to discredit it.
C. Other countries may have backed and funded the development of other vaccines not yet materialised, the taxpayers of which may question the funding if their vaccine is not needed or widely used.
