You ought to see the MSM articles flooding the zone in just the past 3 hours “It’s fine, ignore death, take AstraZeneca.”
“...cases of serious clotting and bleeding that triggered the pause are alarming and unusual...”
I’ve never heard of both occurring at the same time, from one drug. Maybe it depends upon the patient?
Antibody induced platelet desialylation possibly.
Regardless, the fact that Operation Warp Speed funded the development of MULTIPLE vaccines, so that the problem with this particular vaccine is not a show-stopper may well be Trump’s greatest legacy (along with several hundred other things he did).
You are better off achieving natural immunity by getting the ChiCom Flu, everyone under 50 should be having COVID Parties, this would be over a long time ago if we did.
Here’s more information from the Wall Street Journal (excerpted because of pay wall).
“The EMA’s safety committee found the vaccine to be “safe and effective in preventing Covid-19, and its benefits outweigh its risk,” said committee chair Sabine Straus. Dr. Straus said that the vaccine “likely reduces the risk of thrombotic incidents overall” since blood clots are associated with Covid-19.”
“Health officials have noted that blood clots are widespread for a variety of reasons. Clots have also been noted among people receiving other Covid-19 vaccines and can be caused by medications as common as birth-control pills.”
“Dr. Straus said a predominance of the blood clots found were among women, particularly younger women. She said it remained “premature to conclude” whether this is linked to greater risk among the groups or the makeup of the populations receiving the vaccine.”
So despite the needs of some to disparage the vaccine, the reports of blood clots are overblown. The reactions of the anti-vaxxers to every report of possible issues with the vaccines reminds me of those on MSNBC having on-screen orgasms at each report of Trump’s ‘collusion’.
We keep being told no one can die from a COVID-19 vaccine.
We even have a few here on Free Republic that maintain that.
Any death of a previously healthy person is from random chance—especially if they all die of the same strange symptoms.
By the way, people who don’t want a COVID-19 vaccine are to be laughed at.
From what I have read over the last couple of days, the incidence of clotting among those receiving the AZ vaccine is no different, or even less than among those not receiving it.
But none of those who died from the vaccine caught COVID.
Our society is inching to the premise of “I am Legend” territory.
And not one of them gives a crap about any of the now dead people.
oh that s a head scratcher all right. Took an unnecessary experimental medicine and died. We didn’t think that would happen. We also ignore anyone critical or trying to discuss warnings, becuase when we blanket label them as “anti-science” we get a whole lot of other people to attack them for us.
