Doesn't sound great.
Sounds pretty fucking normal. Gore-Tex was invented due to a combination of frustration and serendipity. If it works, it works. How it's got there is a side issue.
Can we choose which of the vaccines to get?
No. But you can check your entitlement.
Brommers-
Oh, do fuck off.
It was a serious statement and then a serious question. 62% doesn't sound like a great success rate for a vaccine. Better then no vaccine obviously, but it doesn't sound great.
If I could choose whether to have a 90% vaccine or a 62% vaccine I would like to choose the 90% vaccine. The government has all the different vaccines on order, so do we think we'll be able to choose which one we can take.

So the Oxford vaccine has an efficacy of 62% when administered the way they planned it. It was only by mistakenly giving a group of participants a first half dose that efficacy rose to 90%. Doesn't sound great.
