@temujin_HF @adam @Johncdvorak Thanks!

40 cycles is ridiculous.

@alex We know _at least_ six people got blood clots. With Astra Zeneca it didn't take long to find many more examples. Equally, initial reports were about how fewer than expected numbers of blood clots were happening, which is just lol - clear sign of under reporting.

Anyway, one in a million is already more dangerous than covid to healthy children. So right there you have at least one demographic where the cost/benefit analysis doesn't make sense.

@temujin_HF @adam @Johncdvorak can you repost that somewhere? The image is almost unreadable.

@121 I sure hope so....

Sad really, because local council is often one of the most effective forms of government. But keeping roads maintained is kinda boring...

@NunyaBidness You misspelled "shitbotter"

@verretor I mean, murdering your opponents says that too. 10x

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!

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...

@roshii The sample size is not 26 for what they're trying to measure: most of their patients weren't producing detectable levels of viral particles to begin with, so those patients didn't generate any data about whether or not there was a decrease.
