"Denmark on Wednesday became the first country to stop using AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine altogether over a potential link to a rare but serious form of blood clot"
Yep. The vaccines are wonderful aren't they.
Yes they are.
The rare from of blood clot apparently occurs both with Astrazeneca and the J&J vaccin. it is indeed very rare, only one in about a million people so far have died from these reactions.
The risk of dying from Covid is still about 2000 higher in my country.
So, even with Astrazeneca, the benefits still outweigh the risks by an incredible 200000%
This happens most with women under the age of 50. That is why over here (Belgium) we paused the use of Astrazeneca with people under 55 for two months.
I am on the list for getting my first jab in the coming weeks, wating for the letter now.
Older than 55, so there is a good chance i will get Astrazeneca.
I would prefer Pfizer or Moderna. Not out of fear for the blood clots, but simply because they protect more.
Anyway, i will take whatever i can get, they all protect against getting severely ill or hospitalized.
And guess what causes even more blood clots:
Research: Covid-19 more likely to cause blood clots than any vaccine
The study looked at 500,000 Covid-19 patients, and found an incidence of CVT of 39 in a million. In 480,000 people having received the vaccines from Moderna or Pfizer, the rate was four per million. For the AZ vaccine, the rate rose to five per million.
And who reported this concern, some anonymous blogger? A right wing stink thank? a supplement scammer? an antivaxxer?
No, it are the built in protections and constant monitoring by al parties involved that sounded the alarm.
