So from my (admittedly basic) understanding it's looking very hopeful the AZ vaccine DOES reduce transmission

And I expect if it does, so do the others. By approx 67% is the figure I've seen.
I'm amazed this doesn't seem to be being shared more widely (and makes me worry I've misinyerpreted). This is what we've all been waiting for. Yes it's not certain but surely it's unlikely they've got it so wrong, and even if it's only half that, that's still a huge break in the transmissions.

I found out last night on twitter. Usually that is shortly followed by a bbc announcement.

It appears Ireland joining Sweden, Poland Italy France and Germany in not using AZ for its elderly.
