Damn media at it again, talking up the alleged but unproven risk of blood clots. Some Governments even suspending use of some jabs.
If you are in hospital for an operation the surgeon will come and explain what he intends to do and will warn you of possible risk of fatality for that operation of say 100,000 to 1, or whatever.
There have apparently been 7 cases of fatal blood clots in the UK which may or may not be connected to the vaccine, but even assuming they are it is a risk of better than 4 million to 1.
Safer that any operation, so what is all the fuss about ?
Very much this.
And if the Germans don't want the AZ vaccine, all the more for the countries that do.
Just found out that the wife of a friend from my past, late middle aged, got a blood clot on the brain after her first AZ dose. Nearly died but will now live very much like a stroke victim. My mate is giving up his job to become her carer.
I know it's incredibly rare but it kinda feels different when it's close to home. Like if you knew someone who won the big prize on the lotto.
Life's a strange old thing.
