"What saddens me most is that the AstraZeneca vaccine was going to be perhaps the primary engine to vaccinate the world because it's much more easily stored than the mRNA vaccines and the other vaccines and also, it's cost-effective. It's a lower affordable cost. And so, loss of global public trust in AstraZeneca vaccines could be a huge blow to WHO."
