• Adverse event(s?) with AstraZeneca/Oxford University Phase 3 trial need more clarity for public confidence; the adverse event(s?) came after the second dose of the vaccine.
• It is doubtful that a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine can be announced this year.
• Polls suggest that the public is sceptical about a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer and Moderna (and AstraZeneca?) are agreeing more transparency is needed.
• Public confidence needs to be addressed to get a path to economic recovery if a safe and effective vaccine becomes available. Without it, recovery (beyond temporary stock market ebullience) will struggle.
