AZN Covid-19 antibody ****tail has proved effective against variants of the virus in early testing, a potentially key development for vulnerable populations unable to receive vaccines.

The first results of the UK vaccination programme suggests it is having a "spectacular" impact on preventing serious illness.

Research led by Public Health Scotland found in the fourth week after the first dose, hospitalisations were reduced by 85% and 94% for the Pfizer and AstraZeneca jabs respectively.

It is the first sign of the real world impact of vaccination in the UK.

Brutal today, across the board. Ugh.

Likewise, interesting to see if this has got its bottom now, it's been on a steady decline for too long now! This must be close surely to the bottom.

Just jumped aboard MCRO seems really undervalued in terms of price at the moment doesn't it? Should be at the very least 7.00 ish...

Interior to others? Totally untrue...WHO would disagree with you there, as well as most of the scientific community.

EU proved wrong again recommended by WHO for ALL ages, the 12 week gap between vaccinations highly criticized internationally, the UK proved to be the very BEST time to allow immunity to build and create a much higher efficacy.

More than likely will stop hospitalization and death.

Does not sound inferior to me.

Me too buying the dip bargain basement.

I think just heavily shorted always has been, keeps dragging it down. But we all know it's worth more... It will be interesting once the US opens up to see what happens if any knock-on. Hopefully a positive. Maybe not.

Great earnings pheeeew (I was always confident) *cough *cough*

Hoping we hold 72s at least before close

Definitely a typo haha!

Price seems to be doing the usual gradual drop, I'm surprised people are selling this low. What are people price predictions for Thursday close after earnings?

It may not work 100% on the SA varient (though tested on a tiny group, and not yet peer reviewed). Prof Sarah Gilbert stated yesterday the current vaccine will likely prevent severe cases, or death. That's sounds pretty good to me! Also as stated above a new amended vaccine to be released by Autumn this year to tackle the SA varient head on.

I am surprised SA have suspended the roll out to be honest, a vaccine in which can potentially help you avoid death, is better that nothing.

Do you think this stock is being hevilly shorted? Are they shaking the tree before earnings maybe?

I agree it should be near the £80+ mark, it'll be interesting to see the the SP going through until earnings next week.

Why on earth are you making a silly speculative claim about AZN dividend.

Total nonsense.
