Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

The role the AZ vaccine is doing in improving the world means the rare nature of such events occurring are sadly not significant enough to warrant any kind of stop or pause.

1 person in 87k suffers a blood clot without proof it's caused by vaccine.

Think how many of those 87k would die from Covid without the vaccine.

Its very simple and on the spectrum of risk, an acceptable level.

I have my second AZ jab next Friday.

You would choose a vaccine that's killed (officially) 7 people so far over a vaccine that's killed no one?

Do you also take part in Russian Roulette?

Proof ?

You’re doing your level best to scare people from taking the A/Z vaccine.

Pack it in.

Exactly. In the UK, we're at 127,000 COVID related deaths and this will continue to rise with over half the population having anti-bodies for the virus.

Now, over half the population have also had the first jab, albeit not all the AZ version, but we're at how many deaths that may be linked having a vaccine?

A handful. In terms of simple ratio, I know exactly which I think is the safer option and those deaths may in the end not even be attributed to AZ.

I doubt the vaccines are related to his deteriorating health. Many scientists think there's a good chance mixing vaccines will improve protection if anything and people have booster vaccines, which are different types of vaccine, with no ill effect.

Yes true, I should have added it was the next day after his 2nd vaccine that he took ill, very close but it could be unrelated.
By the way, I love our NHS, I think they’re mostly fantastic. I was not criticising them in any way.

Ah, I see what you mean. maybe then.

Only a true socialist would look to bash an "at cost" vaccine and the praise that of a multi-national profiteering pharmaceutical juggernaut, which is costing 10x the price and is impossible to distribute in many of the poorest countries in the world.

His views are now varying between the extreme left and the extreme right and have become somewhat blurred.

I’m not sure this is correct. I booked my first at the nearest location to me and was given a choice of at least four different locations for the second. Perhaps as there was no more available appointments at my preferred (original) choice?

@BlueStevie35 yeah that's not the case everywhere mate.

My dad booked his own online and the second one is at a different place to the first. Still local, but there's no guarantee you go to the same place.

Oh look, more lies.

Oh look, Mr Wrong is wrong again:

Experts stress Covid vaccine benefits outweigh risks after seven UK deaths

30 reported cases of blood clotting issues after AstraZeneca jab out of 18.1m doses

www.theguardian.com

 

[davek]

That's enough now eh.

That is a lie and you well know it. You are going to scare people in to not getting the vaccine. Those people could well end up catching the virus and becoming very ill or worse.

The BBC article clearly says it is unclear if this is a coincidence or if there is a direct link. Stop being a divvy.

How am I doing that when I've had it myself and have stated I will take it again if it's the only one on offer?

Your post there is a cynical attempt at closing down debate. Maybe we should ignore it all?

He picks and chooses, essentially he just wants no joy in the world and a permanent lockdown.

Dutch halt AstraZeneca jabs for under-60s

The Netherlands is halting AstraZeneca coronavirus jabs for people aged under 60 after fresh reports of rare blood clots, Dutch health authorities have said.

www.rte.ie

We have to ignore those reports. @gav1985 says we've talked about it "enough".

 

[davek]

Have you complained to them about the way you have been treated ?

I've not heard a bad word about any of the vaccine centres , and thats a lot of people.

It takes minimum 3/4 months to get any complaint to NHS England heard. The only way I can change my circumstances is to opt for another location.

I blame myself, tbh. The location I could have gone to had glowing reviews but I went with the other option when booking because it was easier to get to, so I made the (wrong) assumption they were going to be equally as good.

 

[davek]

Proof ?

You’re doing your level best to scare people from taking the A/Z vaccine.

Pack it in.

Why dont you tell the Guardian, Telegraph, Mail, Express, Times, Mirror etc to do the same.

"Pack it in discussing things that have gone wrong...we want to live in a dream world".

That doesn’t say seven people have died from the AZ vaccine.
