federal government incompetence and malice. they hoped a locally developed vaccine would work, but it didn't. they hoped AZ produced locally would work, then poisoned the well by talking it down and allowing old people to *choose* which vaccine they got, and then failed to actually roll it out - until this week under 40s in NSW needed to have a GP appointment to get assessed for if they could receive the AZ vaccine.

the tiny stocks of Pfizer have been pissed up a wall - there's currently a hare brained plan to use it to vaccinate 17 and 18 year old so they can take their end of school exams in person.
