--- Quote from: langwadt on March 16, 2021, 05:13:12 pm ---AstraZeneca is now on hold in many countries because some receivers have had unsual cases of blood clots some of them dying afaiu if you had it and get unusual bruising you should see a doctor --- End quote --- With 37 clotting events across the 17 million doses given, I would not be in the least worried about getting the AstraZenica vaccine. In fact I find it surprising that so few have been reported, given that you'd expect something like 1/1000 people to experience a clotting event in a given year. If clots within a week of the vaccine were reported you'd expect to see 17e6/(1e3*52) =~ 300. |

The numbers of clotting events for the Pfizer vaccine is actually slightly higher (though still very few) showing this is uproar is purely political. |

If you keep it serious, and talk about covid and vaccines, they will close this thread. Mods said several times it is not thematically fitting to an engineering forum. |

They started with the conclusion and then worked backwards, connecting the dots in such a way as to lead to the conclusion they already had. They believe there's a conspiracy so they invent a story in their heads to rationalize and support it. |
