    AstraZeneca said Sunday that a safety review found no evidence its COVID-19 vaccine caused an increased risk of blood clots after several countries suspended the use of the shots earlier this week.

    The company said it had conducted a “careful review” of safety data after Denmark paused the rollout of the AstraZeneca jab on Thursday after a 60-year-old woman who received the shot developed a blood clot and died. Authorities in Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands and Ireland quickly followed suit while investigations were underway, saying that the moves were precautionary and that there was no evidence of any link.

    The drug manufacturer, however, sought to quell those fears on Sunday after analyzing data from the 17 million people who have already received its vaccine.

    “A careful review of all available safety data of more than 17 million people vaccinated in the European Union and UK with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca has shown no evidence of an increased risk of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or thrombocytopenia, in any defined age group, gender, batch or in any particular country,” the company said in a statement.

      today Europe experts said astrazaneca is linked to clots in the blood, my opinion on vaccination is that you are being an experience with experimental drugs with lots of side effects

        How many unknown “side effects” might Covid-19 itself have? Isn’t it safer to take the vaccine than to get covid?

            The vaccines will help us leave lockdown as soon as possible and mitigate these privacy issues.

                It’s not that there are no side effects. There are. But none of them in large numbers of people, only a few people presented such side effects in millions vaccinated.

                The problem is how the information spreads, making the conspiracy-prone to extrapolate “vaccine A caused side effects X and Y on Z number of people” into “all vaccines cause/will cause widespread deadly side effects”.

                Also, any piracy website will do basically anything for money because they can’t monetize with conventional methods, so they can do many such desperate/unscrupulous stuff at times

                (edit: not sure about this, if it was paid by someone, as it doesn’t seem to link anywhere)

                You can still get sick from any virus after getting a vaccination for it. They are not 100% effective. The annual influenza vaccines are usually around 50% effectiveness.

                What you’re advocating for is a return to the times where people had to stack bodies up on the street like cords of wood, and wait for someone to come by and pick them up.

                Stop spreading your lies and your misinformation. You have every right to be afraid of reality, but spouting this BS makes you an enemy to humankind. Shut the hell up.

                    I’ve already had the first shot, and looking forward to the second shot soon. Nothing to cry about.

                    You’re a special kind of person if you would rather watch millions upon millions of people continue to die from things such as suffocating on the effluence of their own lungs as their immune systems go into a cytokine storm and destroy the alveoli. What kind of monster are you?

                    I don’t watch TV, numbskull. I base what I say off actual facts, not the mewlings of people who have difficulty dealing with reality and making up BS arguments to try to hide how much of a coward they are. Go read some actual scientific papers and look at the actual data. Whatever you have read so far seems to be made up crap.
