      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

          Should a vaccine really have a quantifiable death rate though?

          This is great news! We have enough mRNA vaccines so switched to them instead but you can still get AZ for your 2nd shot if you got it for your 1st shot or get a mRNA for 2nd.

          Mike Dee Retweeted Mike Dee

          1st shot Vaxzevria by AstraZeneca and second shot Comirnaty by BioNTech provides the best immune reaction. Now confirmed in several studies, latest study here:https://twitter.com/MikeDeeeeeee/status/1401922670887849987 …

          Mike Dee added,

          Mike Dee @MikeDeeeeeee
          Heterologous vaccination with Vaxzevria prime and Comirnaty boost much more immunogenic than homologous Vaxzevria vaccination, and slightly more immunogenic than homologous Comirnaty vaccination.

          Time to move focus from deaths to mitigating permanent disabilities. If I remember, aspirin for acute ischemic stroke helps, but in Covid the blood constituents is very abnormal, so does it work acutely eg. waiting for ambulance?

          ^ "in Covid" = in rare immune response to Covid vaccines

          Can we calculate a confidence interval for that given n=1?

          I did that, a bit meaningless but it's 0.000024-0.000036% roughly

          So you are unlikely to die if you get vaccinated against a virus that is unlikely to kill you.
