The substance of my post is that one of the primary causes of 'vaccine hesitancy' in Australia is that Pfizer is perceived to be better [has better efficacy] and safer [not as high a risk of bad side-effects] compared with AZ, and no amount of numbers you cite will change that, even if the numbers are correct.
This is sadly true and the horse has bolted, at least the government recognises that finally and has ordered large amounts of Pfizer to cover us for the next few years. Doesn't stop us from pushing the truth though, the AZ could, and has already saved many older people from the virus. From a personal POV I know of two groups within my family, one side vaccinated with AZ that are moving freely in the community without much care for their health, lockdowns aside and another few who are avoiding the vaccine and hiding away. What you choose to do is up to you.

That hasn't been updated since mid-April.
It's only updated on firm evidence, not from preliminary studies, as it says at the bottom regarding transmission.
