If the choice were Astra-Zeneca now or a different one in a week (due to current supply constraints) I would choose AZ now, although I do agree that many might not.

The number of potential deaths that could arise from NOT using AZ (or J&J) for a few weeks while they do testing (that has already been done by reputable research teams around the World) does not bear thinking about.

Why not just limit their use to those who aren't at risk (those who don't have low platelet levels)?
