She wasn’t herself saying “vaccines make you impotent”, it was an anecdote. Someone she knows used it as a reason for not getting the vaccine which is irresponsible. At the end of the tweet she encourages people to make a decision that they feel comfortable with, I don’t see how that makes her a vacuous brain dead bell or whatever.
When you have millions of followers you have a responsibility to not say dangerous things.
Anyone know why its not the AZ vaccine that's being used for booster shots?
Presume you are still seeing the same vax/unvaxxed ratio as before?My hospital system has matched the peak from this past winter surge.
Cos Dave was right. It’s gnats piss.Anyone know why its not the AZ vaccine that's being used for booster shots?
Dangerous things??
Telling millions of people to avoid a vaccine "cos my cousin's friend thinks it has made him impotent" is dangerous/stupid. Yes.

Data from the COV-BOOST trial indicate that booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines are generally well tolerated and provide a substantial increase in vaccine-induced immune responses.[footnote 8]. In particular, mRNA vaccines provide a strong booster effect, regardless of whether the primary course was with the Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2/ Comirnaty®) or the AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1-S/Vaxzevria®) vaccine. These results are consistent with those from other studies that examined the effect of half dose (50µg) Moderna (mRNA-1273/Spikevax®) vaccine following primary courses of full or half doses of Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccination.[footnote 14] A half dose (50µg) of Moderna (mRNA-1273/Spikevax®) vaccine given as a booster was found to cause a similar level of local and systemic reactions to vaccination (injection site pain and headache) compared to a full dose of Moderna (mRNA-1273/Spikevax®) given as a second dose. Data from the ComFluCOV trial indicate that coadministration of influenza and COVID-19 vaccines is generally well tolerated with no diminution of vaccine-induced immune responses to either vaccine.[footnote 9]When you have millions of followers you have a responsibility to not say dangerous things.

That is absolutely nowhere near what the tweet said tbh.
