A vaccination expert with the highest authority in the UK says AstraZeneca’s vaccine, which was recently hit hard, is showing a clear effect.

Patrick Balance, chief science adviser to the British government, appeared at a press conference with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the 26th (local time) and made this announcement. When asked about the effectiveness of AstraZeneca’s vaccine, he said, “it worked,” he said.

“The most important finding (whatever the process) is that the vaccine works, which is very encouraging,” Balance advised. “There is always scientific debate about everything in the world,” said Chris Whitty, senior medical advisor to the same question. “Safety will be judged by regulators.”

AstraZeneca’s vaccine is known to be 90% effective due to unexpected results due to a medication error during the research team’s development. As a result, some media and experts have expressed concern about the safety of the vaccine.

The New York Times (NYT) reported the previous day that “experts believe that errors in the data disclosed by AstraZeneca, a series of irregularities and omissions reduce confidence in clinical trial results.” He also said that regulators like the United States are less and less likely to approve emergency use of AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford’s Corona 19 vaccine.
