What’s the sunshine list

Quote (Bruin @ Mar 29 2021 05:38pm)

“ The decision to halt the use of the vaccine in Canadians under 55 comes after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) investigated 25 cases of the rare blood clots out of about 20 million AstraZeneca shots given.”

25/20million

They are looking for common identifiers between people with clots so that they can approve use outside of those specific groups.

Problem likely is that there is such a small amount of data with only 25 people getting these clots that it’s nearly impossible to say who exactly is susceptible

The vaccine isn’t inherently dangerous and from what I read in the articles 2/25 were men

So yea I’d say 1/10,000,000 chance at developing a blood clot is well within acceptable figures but I’m not a decision maker. I think SP’s chances are pretty damn good.

I’m quite certain many other approved drugs have far greater numbers of severe outcomes and still get approved. However paper pushers need strict numbers before handing out their guidance.

Why are people so scared of the AZ vaccine but not Covid? I understand it’s not approved at the moment, and that’s a fair reason to be skeptical. However, statistically Covid has a higher risk of thrombosis when compared to the AZ vaccine.

If you apply the same “logic” everyone seems to use when discounting the dangers of Covid “ I aM YoUnG aNd HeAlThY, i DoNt HaVe To WoRrY aBoUt CoViD”. You should have zero fear of the vaccine.

Is it defiant opposition to anything coming from the government or ignorance/lack of education?

It's the government shutting AZ down. Everyday there's a flip flop on this particular vaccine. People are losing trust in it. Administering nurses are advising against it as far back as 2 weeks ago.

Fear of the unknown I suppose is what's driving the paranoia. That being said I'd gladly take a pfizer/moderna one. So thinking this is a antivaxer issue has nothing to do about it either.
