To get back to the original point*, its pretty clear that that after the appalling way they handled the AZ issue the EU was on the back foot with the populous, and the only way to deflect flack and save face was to rubbish the effectiveness of the Vaccine they say they couldn't get.
Ok maybe its not as effective as the others, but in a situation like this you dont allow any crack to appear in the larger picture vaccination armour, and by so doing they have further screwed themselves in the foot by now having poor take up to go with chaotic supply.
*as for news, people read what fits their own preconceptions.
