Ontario reports 1,546 new Covid cases … and is Astra Zeneca fudging efficacy results?


AstraZeneca may have used ‘outdated information’ in its COVID-19 vaccine efficacy trial

AstraZeneca may have used “outdated information” in the results of a large-scale COVID-19 vaccine trial, a U.S. health agency said on Tuesday, casting fresh doubt on the shot, its potential U.S. rollout and plunging its developers, once again, into controversy.

The highly unusual rebuke from federal health officials comes just one day after interim data from the drugmaker showed better-than-expected results from the U.S. trial which had been seen as a scientific counter to concerns that have dogged the shot since late last year.
