So for all us under 40's whats the statistical chance of a blood clot getting the AZ then?

Not high enough to have you worrying mate, it's medicine, it has risks.

Around 0.0003% I believe.

Just think about every time people are asked if they are allergic to penicillin. How many people could die from ingesting the dust from peanuts.

Ironically anyone over 60, which was the big gaping hole from the original data.

I think it’s safe to say AZ rushed to market, when the MRNA’s announced.

Oxford deserved a better partner then AZ IMO.

They should have went with Merck.

Back on this are we?

Well if Merck wanted to partner Oxford they should have agreed to do it at cost. They wouldn't. They effectively ruled themselves out by wanting to profit out of it.

Is there anyone left they CAN give jabs to now?

An utter car crash of a situation.

You?

So the solution was to go with a company that had never made a vaccine and now be in this situation?

What great foresight by the UK Government.

The UK's contribution to the fight against Covid19 so far:

1/ produce a vaccine that's killing some people
2/ create a variant that's killing hundreds of thousand the world over
3/ host the Euros when Europe is going through a 3rd wave of infections


....and Starmer is trailing this lot by 10 points.

Just you I think mate.....

I really should learn to read down a few posts before I respond. Beat me to it again.

1/ its not.
2/ it is one of thousands of variants and was sequenced and identified here.
3/ obviously safer to host here than anywhere else in Europe then.

Out of interest, Dave, if you were at a restaurant and the waiter brought you a meal that was burnt, would you:

1. Blame the waiter for burning your meal?

Or

2. Blame the chef?

Probably more chance of dying on the way to get the vaccine. Basically its almost zero.

Starmer is one of the cheeks of the same backside.

for most, very low - however there is some suggestion some groups (women under 55 is the one most cited) may be at increased risk, which is what they urgently need to establish
