Quick thread on the Astra Zeneca (AZ) covid vaccine since it's been in the news today. TLDR there isn't a new "smoking gun", the AZ vax was one of first and cheapest, it saved millions of lives globally, there are better vax out there now, adapted to new variants 1/9

If what you her from McNamara made you feel angry, I’m not surprised, I do too One lesson we must surely take from this is that an old boy’s club is the worst way to run a country. Good govt doesn’t just need competence, it needs female & diverse perspectives at very top too

Oh, and a bonus chart that I think will fry a lot of people’s brains and break a lot of narratives: For all the talk of six figure costs of college in the States, here’s how much debt graduates leave university with in the UK and US vs other countries

It gets worse. US cities are poorly served by public transit, too car centric, but at least you CAN drive to/around them. Euro cities (+ London) are the inverse: a pain to drive in, but great public transport. Other UK cities are screwed: 💩 public transport AND bad road infra

The net result is that of the £89.8bn invested, customers or borrowing of various sorts provided £89.8bn of the funding meaning the shareholders effectively made no investment in the assets of these businesses, at all.

I gave a pretty much identical talk twice during Extinction Rebellion's 'The Big One' protests over the weekend, both of which were a lot of fun. A few people came up and asked if I might be sharing...
