    Excellent news - the mortality of vaccine-induced clots has dropped from 1 in 5 originally to roughly 1 in 40 in Australiahttps://twitter.com/nick_coatsworth/status/1401992413703331840 …

        Based on Australian data, this would mean that the Astrazeneca vaccine now has a death rate of ~0.00003%, which is several orders of magnitude lower than a Covid-19 infection even for younger adults

        This is very good news. As a young healthy person this is just what you should expect from a vaccine.

        The #TGA imposes a 90-day delay in release of Adverse Drug Reaction reports. Do you think they might be persuaded to provide live updates on numbers for more accurate estimation of risk and get full blood analysis for all vaccine deaths, as is being done in UK?

        The side effect of a vaccine shouldn’t be worse than the disease it is designed to protect you from.

        I 100% agree with you, people keep saying the risk from covid is more than from AZ but my reply is, there shouldn’t be ANY risk of death from a vaccine produced to save people.

        Wow that is so good! Except using Pfizer pretty much eliminates clots completely - and even if you survive the clots, you might lose a leg, or an intestine, or your hearing, or your vision.

        Doesn't eliminate risk of anything serious happening though. Plenty of other things in life have a much higher risk of clots, bet you don't think twice about those.

        That's based on data on which the ink is still wet. Vaccines usually take YEARS of testing & trials b4 approved for use in humans, but we are supposed to silently accept this warp speed roll out. BTW, I have had 1st dose so not anti-vax, just not naive.

        Do you remember, back in the old days, when if you wanted to send a picture of something to somewhere on the other side of the world, you had to find your camera, take a photo, wait until the film was finished, take the spool to the chemist for development, collect it the next /2
