[Stephen Loosley]

Here’s the research pre-print to which Professor Catherine Bennett makes reference

And especially the charts on Page 10. They do appear positive for AZ (now Covishield)?

New study finds AstraZeneca more effective against Delta strain: Catherine Bennett

September 03, 2021   (Sky News but.. )   https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/new-study-finds-astrazeneca-more-effective-against-delta-strain-catherine-bennett/ar-AAO3k1e?ocid=winp1taskbar

Deakin University Chair of Epidemiology Professor Catherine Bennett says the AstraZeneca vaccine is more effective than others against the Delta strain of COVID-19 in certain instances.

Professor Bennett cited a new study from Bahrain, conducted in partnership with Columbia University in the United States, which found “extraordinary differences” when comparing a number of vaccines.

“They found for those over 50 … 44 times less likely to end up in ICU if you have AstraZeneca, and I think it’s 33 times less likely with Pfizer,” Professor Bennett told Sky News host chris Kenny.

“Both extraordinarily effective, but AstraZeneca actually has the edge on that.”
