Exactly my point. However the European Commission has released "Approved" SCC's in June 2021. Does this case now invalidate those because "the DSB has rejected these measures as absolutely useless when it comes to US sur

I don't know the rollout process but perhaps it involves taking servers offline, putting more load on the still live unpatched servers, increasing the probability of the race condition occurring?

The origin of the UKs priority access to the AZ vaccine was due to their early funding of the Oxford vaccine on condition of 1st priority. This was before AZ even got involved. In fact the UK govt had such deep involvement that they were ab

I wonder if because the Oxford vaccine has taken an already tested and approved vaccine approach it has a higher chance of safety than the other 2 which use a new approach that has never been approved by regulators before.
