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.

Isn't the normal flu vaccine in the range of 40-60% effective?

Noone is going to be getting a 62% vaccine. They'll give it in two doses for a 90% rate.

It's unlikely you'll be able to choose which one you get; that will probably be determined by the logistics of where you get it. The overall efficiency for the Oxford vaccine is about the same as any of the other candidates, but requires two jabs for full effectiveness. The trade-off is that it doesn't need storing at -70°C.

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.
No. But you can check your entitlement.
