I'd be fine with AstraZeneca. Strong cellular response and antibody titers don't tip among the 80+ like with the mRNA vaccines. It just got unlucky the whole blood cot issue was found out before the myocarditis one.
As for CoronaVac, it actually matches Pfizer in cellular response. The problem is that it is outright not immunogenic in a minority of people, which likely explains that extra 5 - 10% protection that is missing against severe disease. Sinopharm's vaccine, which is also made from the innactivated virus, has the same issue, which is why the UAE, Hungary, are giving third doses to those who are lab testing negative after the two-dose regimen.
