        Visual picture of how invasion of B.1.351 eliminated efficacy of Astrazeneca vaccine in S Africa: placebo rises more quickly through d140 when B.1.351 emerges & difference erased (vaccine ends up higher but pop at risk at end is small).

        Doesn't look good for the future of AZ vaccine here. Risk of clots may be a red herring but, if this data is correct, then there is potential logic to not going ahead with AZ if you have a supply of alternatives coming on stream.

        I think the general population incidence of blood clots is something like 60-70 per 100,000 anyway.... and given the mass vaccinating, would these have happened anyway? Good to be cautious but also good to remember blood clots happen anyway.

        Given the number of EU countries that paused the AZ vaccine, what did they miss? If you're saying they made the wrong decision, why did they?

        You are def on someone’s payroll dude? Followed you throughout. Where is the vaccine injury fella or gal? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions … Saying it safe doesn’t make it so. It’s your duty to be impartial no?

        \1 do tell us whats in that link that give us info that they are dangerous? Even if all the yellow cards were true (they arent) it would mean 0,4% would experience one effect (99% has we know will be light and expected)

        This is incorrect. The events are rare and according to @Karl_Lauterbach are almost certainly a result of the vaccine. I don't like scaremongering, but it's not helpful to downplay this either.
