I feel a bit guilty about that as the US has authorized transferring the AZ to Canada and Mexico. This (at least) was before the current announcement that it's not going to be given EUA so fast.
Supposedly, there's been enough of a production increases for the other three that, by the time AZ was expected to be authorized (at that time, a few days ago), the US was thought we would be pretty much saturated with the others.
Still, as they say, "any port in a storm". As long as prevention of serious disease at 100% is true it's a bargain.

Apparently, AZ also broke their own protocols in analyzing data.

a rare instance of some people doing their jobs. I would love to know all of the times scientists, engineers, accountants cooked the data due to "pressure."
Pressure from management, pressure from colleagues, pressure from politicians....

Rebuff diminutive lettuce (or Greek island)(sounds like a Greek island) (modified thanks to mistake spotted by OG)
mixed to form religious seasonal food (2nd April this year)

Um. The Greek island starts with a 'K' ...

Argh! Thanks for that!
Modified the question (crossed out the original, but left it visible)

Might be spelled "Kross" in Polish ...

That's a pretty hot clue!

It has to be HOT CROSS BUNS
I'll get back to you with why..... when I've figured it out!
[edit]
Anagram of:
Rebuff - SNUB
Diminutive - SHORT
Lettuce/Greek Island - COS

Well done. You are up tomorrow.
I'll give you a few mins to work out why, then I'll explain if you can't.

|
|
|

Got it. See my edit.
Good clue - i.e. Too easy for OG, so the rest of us get a chance.
|

I got the answer, but I couldn't see anything other than the Cos.

The only part I got was "Cos" lettuce to go into the anagram.

"Rebuff" could be "Brush", which just leaves "snot" to find ...

Well Done! Absolutely Correct.

Rebuff = SNUB
Diminutive = SHORT
Lettuce = COS (as several people guessed)
mixed (anag) = HOT CROSS BUNS
(2nd April is Good Friday)

Do you think the creator of autocorrect will go to heaven or hello?

Most certainly, without a doubt, hello.

He probably will be singing: Quote: Hello, is it me you're looking for?

More likely Derek & Clive's "Hello" sketch. ("This bloke came up to me...") 
No linkage because it's decidedly NSFW and NSFKS. Google at your own peril.

I am not certain if this is an appropriate question for the Lounge but I will accept the risk. Namely if you could be proficient or even expert at something other than programming and related technical subjects which of course you already are what would it be? For me it would be shooting straight pool. It's a great feeling when those balls go kerplunk. There are other skills I would like to be more proficient at but I enjoy the effort in trying to make it so while missing shots in straight pool is a frustrating and painful experience.
