J&J vaccine being investigated for blood clots and low platelet counts: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-europe-vaccines-idUSKBN2BW1MB
Totally agree however I don't believe for one minute that we've had so few incidences and deaths attributed to the vaccines as reported, it's impossible when Germany have vaccinated about a tenth of the people we have with more deaths, the tory shits are absolute at it.
The virus turns right when it boards does it?We are booked to fly long haul. We did pay a fair chunk extra to travel club. It will probably be moved again, I should imagine.
I think you mean virus rather than vaccine Bob.The vaccine turns right when it boards does it?
The tories I don't trust , but if you think the medical authorities would go along with Tory lies nah sorry I'm not having that.
They're billion pound industries just on single drugs because they're at the 'limit' of current knowledge. Just food for thought but where do you stand on statins for example? Current knowlege might be a decade old at least and the fact that funding further knowledge is limited by funding is not considered - maverick medics are soon cast out I can tell you...
Gav, you are conflating the pharmaceutical industry with the MHRA and NICE.
On Apr 1 Germany reported 31 cases of cerebral thrombosis, and had distributed 2.7M doses. We reported 79 cases of rare clots in 20.2M doses. So prima facie what you're saying makes sense. But I can't say if we're comparing similar incidents, i.e. whether the 31 in Germany are the same type as the 30 in the UK.
Covid-19: EMA defends AstraZeneca vaccine as Germany and Canada halt rollouts | The BMJ
MHRA issues new advice, concluding a possible link between COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca and extremely rare, unlikely to occur blood clots - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
This seems to be a one off opportunity to have an open and frank discourse with the public about health in general.
Why should someone worry about the clotting risk from AZ, whilst they still indulge in high fat diet; smoking; drinking; and lack of exercise?
especially because Pfizer has been linked to possible clotting incidents too.
There's a lad in Rochdale I know who is adamant he won't take the vaccine (any) because of a lack of trust....
There was a vox pop thing I heard with Millennials and Gen Z in Union Square in Manhattan. They were all saying that there's no way they'd take a COVID vaccine, they just don't trust anything the establishment says or does.
...
do you have a source for this (my search only found the Daily Mail and Telegraph).

This is the same lad who buys drugs off local dealers, and freely admits that he doesn't know what they mix them with.
Maybe we should let the local dealers distribute a "highly effective but secret vax normally kept for the elite". Hush, hush, yours for £50 mate.
They would be queueing up!
(of course, it would just be AZ coloured with a bit of blue water)
