How AstraZeneca threw away its shot

Many consider the changes in vaccine recommendation by the STIKO (german panel for vaccine recommendation) as a bad thing. Personally, I like that they are changing their opinion based on new data - what else should they do? Are you suggesting Merkel should have taken a second dose of AstraZeneca?

I'm not saying that the change of direction by the STIKO is a bad thing - new data leads to new conclusions and that they're openly admitting that with a change in their recommendation is very good.

Nonetheless, the whole communication during the vaccination campaign, especially regarding the AZ vaccine and the change in direction, went really bad and to me, its no surprise that the acceptance of the AZ vaccine went downhill

So they should have hidden the lack of testing in older population and furthermore hidden any potentially fatal complications?
