Anyone got the most recent stats/news on AZ and blood clots in the brain and stuff? I've been keeping a wide berth mostly from the latest covid news recently. Here in Germany AZ is only recommended to over 60s. But it seems the over 60s are turning their noses up at it leaving lots left over for younger people to take. I'm about to register for the waiting list for left over jabs and it asks if you're willing to have AZ. I think I will but a little bit concerned about all the brain clots and stuff. I guess it should be fine though. I'm 41 and I think in the UK people my age and even younger have been having AZ right? Any advice @Neiler ?

You keep on clinging to these snippets of increase in infection rates in certain areas Dave. The reality is that infection rates are now so low in the majority of areas, that one outbreak in an office, or even in a large family, can cause these anomalies. But of course you've already been told this countless times on here. And you continue to ignore that the vast majority of areas are still on a downward curve, as is the overall infection rate for the whole nation.
But as usual, never let the truth get in the way of a good agenda, hey. lol

There's a heatwave due that week mate. You'll be sitting indoors when everyone else is sunning it in the beer gardens lol
I've had it and haven't died yet.

Everybody was tested going into them too. Only the mickey mouse test I know, but even that picks up cases when the virus is infectious. I wouldn't be shocked if there were zero positive cases from this weeks PCR follow up tests.
Dave will still call Rotherham and his staff Tory murderers though.

So based on that, Liverpool was probably the best city in the country to hold these trials.

Welcome back Wayne
My kids are similar ages, they had AZ and are fine. Now that the EU countries have stopped slagging it off there is almost no mention of blood clots. It turns out most of the clots were running Germany and France......

Wait for the Pfizer if you can. Not only does it not have the rate of blood clotting of AZ, it also does better against the South African variant.

People over 30 are getting the AZ jab. People under 30 who had already received a first AZ jab are getting the AZ jab too.
From what I understand, the risk of blood clots is not more prevalent in young people. It's just that the risk of them dying from covid (or suffering a serious blood clot from covid) is much lower in younger people. So it's a closer call for them. And also remember we are on a much lower infection rate here in UK than you are in Germany, so the risk of young people getting a blood clot from covid is, currently, higher in Germany than it is here.
Personally, I've got no qualms whatsoever of having an AZ jab. I've already had my first. I am 60 though if that matters. In fact, I think I read somewhere that most of the blood clots seen were in people older than me.
Just had my first jab - really efficient system, straight into Asda, vaccines stored next to the milk, quick jab in the arm by the fishmonger - picked up a lovely pair of slacks on the way out
Seriously though, very impressed with the organisation of it all - Arrived 5 minutes early and was seen immediately, nurse was lovely, all clean and sparkly in there
Excellent job done by all

Last 3 weeks data:
We need to keep a close eye on Warrington, Sefton and Halton. Yes they are small numbers of cases, but they are on the rise. And after the last week of mask-less gatherings of thousands with zero social distancing we need to keep an eye on Liverpool, in particular.
These things rise exponentially. Back in August 2020 Liverpool's figures went from mid-20 cases per 100,000 to 50+ the following week and into the hundreds by end of that month. We know that a society opened up and without vaccines laid the basis for the unfolding catastrophe. We need to learn to abandon any opening up of the economy if there are rises into the hundreds. Even with the vaccines - which will help keep hospitalisations and death down we think - there is dangers from long-covid.
