Britain says science shows Oxford vaccine works after French President comments

Britain's health secretary said that scientists had shown the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine worked well, when asked about reported comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron that is "quasi-ineffective" among people over 65.

"My view is that we should listen to the scientists... and the science on this one was already pretty clear, and then with this publication overnight is absolutely crystal clear that the Oxford vaccine not only works but works well," health secretary Matt Hancock told BBC Radio on Wednesday, referring to new data published by Oxford on Tuesday.
