Denmark decides not to use Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine over rare blood clots.
New York Times ^ | 05/05/2021 | Thomas Erdbrink

Denmark will not use the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the Danish Health Authority announced on Monday, saying in a statement that the country could make adequate progress using other vaccines and did not need to run the risk of a rare, dangerous blood clotting condition that may be linked to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The country has halted administering the AstraZeneca vaccine for similar reasons, after two people died of blood clots after being given that vaccine.

Denmark had been planning to use the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine before reports emerged about a possible link to the clotting condition, which seems to mainly affect younger women. Dropping the vaccine from its plans will set back the country’s timetable for vaccinating adults under 40 by about a month, Danish officials said.

The United States temporarily suspended using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but the Food and Drug Administration announced on Friday that it would be made available again, with a warning about the possible clotting risk added to its label.

The European Medicines Agency, the regulatory body for the European Union, has also endorsed use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with an added warning.

The Danish Health Authority, however, said it had independently investigated the vaccine and decided against using it.

So, no Astrazeneca, no Johnson and Johnson, what are they left with to vaccinate?

I guess that leaves Pfizer and Moderna, the mRNA vaccines, unless that are also using the Chinese and Russian vaccines.

The more adjectives in a headline the more lies the story contains.

I honestly don’t give a sh*t what Denmark does. I give even less of a sh*t what it doesn’t do.

rare blood clots

The rule of opposites--if the Slimes says they are "rare" there must be a really serious problem...

The usual cast of characters of the liars club are pushing these vaccines--at the end of the day that is a waving red flag to me--these folks are not my friends.

DJT and his wife got vaccinated in January.

I got vaccinated within about 10 days of my eligibility.

“these folks are not my friends”

They probably aren’t your “friends”, or mine, but what they think is good for themselves is probably good for you too if you are in a similar age group.

If COVID was truly a serious disease for most people — which it is not — people would assume risks like this, just as our ancestors did. The fact that they won’t tells more about what they really think about the disease than anything they say.

“Rare” is relative. If you’re the guy that gets the blood clot from getting jabbed with this stuff, you don’t care how many other people got one.

RE: The more adjectives in a headline the more lies the story contains.

The only adjective I see in the headline is the word “rare”. That’s a lie?

It’s unnecessary.

It’s telling you what to think.

I take it you like to be told what to think because thinking for yourself is too hard?

Here’s what I think ... there have been over 7.5 million J&J shots administered in the USA. So far, I’ve read about less than 15 cases of blood clots.

15 out of 7.5 million!

How many should it be to be considered NOT rare?

It’s an editorial disguised as news.

Why are you afraid to think for yourself?

I just thought for myself in Post #12.

Is 15 out of 7.5 million considered rare or not?

Your odds of being struck by lightning in a given year:

1 in 1,222,000 ( see here: https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-odds )

Your odds of being in a car car crash ( I live in NY ): 1/16,390 <— That’s my state.

See here : https://www.thrillist.com/cars/nation/how-likely-you-are-to-die-in-a-car-accident-in-every-us-state-the-most-dangerous-roads-in-america

Compare those odds to DYING from the J&J vaccine ( not all the 15 known cases of blood clots resulted in death ).

Now compare your odds of : contracting Covid-19 *AND* dying.

Which one is the rarest?

With a recent clot in my melon, even the possibility of a “rare “ event just ain’t worth the chances

The “vaccines” have been approved for emergency use only.

We have no idea what the long-term effects will be.

That’s why they make you sign that waiver-of-liability before the stick you.

Hopefully, your doc isn’t recommending these shots.

Hope you’ve had a full recovery.

My elderly mom is getting goofy on this stuff. Her father used to build an indoor telephone booth back in the 50s to keep the government from listening.

It’s basically the same thing going on now. And she’s terrified of it now. Sometimes things are just passed down I think.
