This is how the process works, and also it leaks. AZ has been told that FDA will not approve without the USA data. I don’t have links handy but it’s very clear.
They are currently being keelhauled by the EU for having allegedly* diverted vaccine from the EU (which had not approved it) to the UK (which had).
They are committed to not making a profit from the vaccine. So there is no financial incentive for getting more vaccine out into the world, and plenty of reputational risk for doing so.
(*) AFAICT they did not even do this, and still their reputation is being trashed.
That resolves a mystery for me if true. How do you know this?
(I was wondering if maybe they are selling all they can make in other countries.)
