Astra Zeneca

Sorry for yet another post on the AZ vaccine

A colleague of mine - his mum suffered multiple blood clots after getting this vaccine .

Makes you wonder if this vaccine is a problem

Are these countries being over catious?

No problem Vulcan. I wasn't very clear. Just trying to point ou how silly it is to worry about having the vaccime.

Khandro, there was a BBC article from a few days ago before the Germans stopped using AZ.

It said that the German health authority says they have several hundred thousand AZ vaccines unused.

I would post a link, but it's on the app, and I can't do links from that.

The pfizer vaccine is linked to more blood clots than the Astra-Zeneka.

My initial thought was "What are the EU residents going to do now?" and then I realised, die.

gulliver: Why are you always so unpleasant?

[Peter Pedant]

it seems to divide political and medical
the doctors are having difficulty gritting their teeth saying yes we should wait
so they are toeing the line
when they know that the no of deaths form the vacca is piffle and the number of deaths from covid is substantial ( if you are british or italian)

to the extenet that Dr Habo Gabo of Berlin said yes we know many people will die if they are not vaccinated. ( but by the over-riding vacca principle of absolute safety , yeah they gonna die)

Van Tam (JVT) summed it up really well tonight in the Briefing.
Theres no evidence here after around 20 million AZ jabs that blood clots are any more likeley after having AZ jab, but even if there was a risk its minimal and is found in all sorts of things like paracetomol (read the warnings). The pill increases risk of clots by multyple of 3 but 3 x almost nothing is almost nothing, so we say the benifits far outweigh the risks.
