Overheard a conversation at the pharmacy from an elderly man who wanted to get vaccinated. They said they just had Astra Zeneca available, which he turned down saying it was dangerous.

I suspect had the media actually talked about the risks and benefits _by age_, with actual numbers, that might have happened differently because he'd have had a better understanding of why it's not being used in younger people.

But that would require admitting that our covid response was idiotic...

Possibly the most insane thing about is the pharmacy person on staff didn't seem to understand what the numbers are either! Her response was basically to agree with him!
