So are we still going to make 50 million useless vaccines?

Looks like a real stuff up! It is OUR money they are wasting too.

I just calculated that if we had the same number of
deaths per capita as the USA then over 43,000 people would
have died from Covid in Australia.

Scott Morrison abandons target to have all Australians vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of the year

The Prime Minister has abandoned all targets for the nationwide rollout of COVID-19 vaccines after new medical advice threw the program into disarray.
Australia's medical experts on Thursday changed their official advice, recommending against the use of the AstraZeneca jab for people under the age of 50 because of concerns about a rare blood clotting disease.
Pfizer has now been nominated as the "preferred vaccine" for that age group, sparking a reset of the already sluggish rollout.
Given the uncertainties, Scott Morrison said the government would no longer be setting targets for the delivery of the vaccines.
"The government has also not set, nor has any plans to set any new targets for completing first doses," he said in a statement.
Earlier on Sunday, Trade Minister Dan Tehan suggested that aspiration was an official target.
"That's the goal that we've set is to try and have all Australians have a dose by the end of the year," he told Sky News.
Even before this latest setback, the government had missed every goal it set for itself.
The original long-term target, to fully vaccinate all 20 million adults by the end of October, was adjusted to a goal of giving all adults their first dose by that date. But that will now be impossible to achieve given AstraZeneca was the backbone of Australia's vaccine strategy.
