Yeah, I don't think a precationary pause in the use of AstraZeneca is a bad thing. It just shows that we at least still have *some* of our strict admission standards intact.

I don't believe this is a politically motivated choice. I think that in the light of things, NOT pausing the vaccination would cause more harm (more people converting to the antivax loony camp)

You have to factor in the possibility that the treatment is possibly a highly specific Finn-seeking missile. That it is completely by chance utterly inconsequential to every other ethnicity due to some exceedingly-specific genetic interaction, or whatever, but activates an AE upon the right geographically-concentrated allelle(s). Either that or it involves such a maliciously designed-in feature.

Neither of which options are likely. And a discovery of this would be Very Important, to all kinds of people.


PPE: And how many antivaxers will be created by officials saying "we're so unsure about this vaccine that we'd prefer to let people stay unvaccinated"? At face-value, I say it's a stupid and probably non-medical decision.

... wouldn't that 1 in 700 still be a significant improvement over the rates for the plague?

But there's no new side effect, number of clots in control and vaccine group were the same. Number of clots reported amid vaccine recipients post-release seem within what you'd expect in the general population.... even if there *was* an increased risk of thrombosis the risk of covid is far worse.

Actually, it's a refrigerator-storable vaccine.

(As to the rest, it's debatable. Less than 40 reported clotting events in almost 20 million doses, effectiveness against strains doesn't seem to be down as far as preventing serious illness, just doesn't completely quash mild effects. The company maybe did overpromise on supply, given they hit localised production difficulties, but they're not the only one and other parties involved were even more unprepared and tried a staring contest for their part.)

Sounds like some asshole in Atlanta shot up a bunch of young asian masseuses.

No official announcement yet linking it to COVID...but it's probably because of COVID.

You realise this is the Trolley Problem?

Welcome to the wonderful world of healthcare decisions. It's trolley problems all the way down and you never have complete info about which rails have people and which don't

Couldn't you just stop laying train lines through hospitals

It's not on the official Risks chart, so it must be completely Ok...

I got my first vacc appointment scheduled last night.

It the two dose one, so not only could I get double autism, but there's an opportunity for triple autism.
