LjLpwr22, yes but Italy for one is already set on re-approving AZ, i feel it's just been some kind of "security theater"19:22
LjLpwr22, also although it's yet another form of "general thrombosis events are more frequent in people who got other vaccines, or no vaccines, so stop worrying yadda yadda" (which is not a line of reasoning i entirely agree with), but that said, this graph may put things in context https://twitter.com/steveusdin1/status/137201537028292198519:23
LjLso again *that* particular type of (very serious) thrombotic event is much more common in AZ than other people, but then if you compare it to more general blood clotting events, it's swamped by them by a large margin19:23
LjLwhat i think about it is that it's a serious event, it wasn't experienced during the trials, so it has to be investigated, and the communication about it has been pretty abysmal with a lot of mixed messaging19:24
LjLbut once my rant about that is over, people are still not at any huge risk at all19:25
