Scott Morrison (Aus PM): We're making a formal request to AstraZeneca to access 1 million doses of our contracted supplies of AstraZeneca not for Australia, but for PNG, a developing country in desperate need of these vaccines.

We've paid for them and we want to see those vaccines come here so we can support our nearest neighbour.

We can expect to see a lot more of this dumping of AstraZeneca on poor countries disguised at foreign aid. Bear in mind AZ is banned in most developed countries due to blood clot side effects and studies show it's ineffective against new variants. The bottom line is: if it does work against variants, it doesn't work against Covid.
