Australia vs New Zealand — genuinely asking which matters more

PBS Cold Box ×1 Sourced ×2

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/insurancefights repeats that shortage is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 19 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is TGA. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.
