And this people is what “Operation Warp Speed” gives you!

Thank you President Trump!

“AstraZeneca, a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, must think we Americans are a bunch of ignorant rubes.”

Joe Biden is president.

Vaccine follies continue. I don’t deny the virus. I don’t deny anyone to get the shot. I just point out some serious issues with the total Corona calamity and I personally will never be part of the shot show and weep for our nation and its future due to this. That seems to rile up many freepers: a person’s free will and critical thinking.

There is almost certainly no causal connection between the symptoms — which include blood clots — and the vaccine, but in this hypersensitive environment where people are refusing to get vaccinated,

Right. All these random people suddenly getting blood clots out of nowhere, and it's definitely not connected to the one thing they all have in common.

Apparently requests for further data like this are normal. What's unusual is that the Agency chose to publicise the request, presumably because of the unprecedented public concern about everything and anything vaccine-related. AstraZeneca has now provided the updated data, which have only a trivial effect on the trial outcomes. It's unfortunate. given the atmosphere of suspicion, that a procedural anomaly should be immediately be cited as additional evidence of a real problem (as this article does). AZ are partly to blame for publicising the results before they were technically complete: but it's easy to see why they did so, given the recent false alarms of the temporary pausing in the EU while the blood clotting issue was investigated. They needed some good PR: but unfortunately it backfired on them.

All this has nothing to do with the safety of the vaccine.
