The test number difference is primarily due to differences in procedure.
From what I've gathered. Pfizer/ Moderna were more gearing their tests
towards getting positive results.
I read a report, I believe in the Guardian, that the Pfizer vaccine (and
I presume Moderna, since they are practically identical technology) have
efficacy rates somewhat below 90% , while Oxford (and probably J&J) are
slightly below 80% in the real world
These are all fantastic numbers for a vaccine, efficacy numbers rarely
rise above an actual 50%
J&J is apparently having the same blood clotting issues that Oxford is
having. No surprise since they are similar technology as well.
All seem to have reasonable effect on both the Brazilian and Kent
variants, and are pretty useless against the South African variant.
Where I am, the wild virus seems to be on the verge of having run it's
course, and we are seeing more new cases of the B.1.1.7 UK with a
smattering of B.1.351 SA variants.
I suspect we are going to be playing whack-a-mole with Covid19 for a
very long time, especially since a significant percentage of populations
seem intent on engaging in activities that guarantee the spread of it.

Pfizer and Modena claim to have better test numbers than the others, so many
are responding to that. We looked everywhere and were prepared to take the
first one we could get. In Michigan, odds on that would be Pfizer.

I heard Moderna and J&J are killing shipments due to QC issues, Pfizer has
had numerous QC violations in their plants as well.
I didn't realize a particular vaccine was some sort of badge of honor.
Apparently they all do pretty much the same thing.

I've had my first AZ and felt fine for the first 12 hours or so - then
had
fluey feeling, inc an hour of chills, then slept and in the morning
was okay,
fine later that day. No arm pain at all.
The incidence of fatal blood clotting is approx 1 in a million. The
incidence
of blood clotting from taking the birth control pill (say) is 1 in
1000. Too
low to be worried about it.
You can tell the AstraZenica vaccine was built by a bunch of eggheads in
a university lab while the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were built by
corporations by the amount of bullshit AstraZeneca is going through because
they aren't any good at navigating the political bullshit.

And their problems are compounded by a lack of quality control and
in-house manufacturing capability. I got Pfizer and couldn’t be more
pleased.
