True that, but, by and large, with existing vaccines & drugs they are known risks, assessed and identified over many years, if not decades. The Covid vaccines, all of them, carry the threat of unknown risks and that is the problem. Blood clotting was not considered a risk of the vaccine until it was. There was no risk of giving the AZ vaccine to <50's, until there was! And now, even if I wanted to, I can't get the AZ vaccine as I'm under 50, so the risk of blood clots is presumably higher than the risk of contracting Covid & dying from it.
Do you think that maybe the only reason they’re not recommending (not prohibiting like you suggested) that people under 35 get it, is probably more because of the unnecessary negative attention that the AZ has received and the associated public backlash because of the misinformation that had been spread in the lead up to the decision?
Another words, ScoMo wanted to be seen to be doing the right thing because if even 1 person died, he’d cop an earful from all the misinformed and anti vaxxers saying they should have stopped it. Whereas (I don’t have the info nor could I be arsed looking), ordinarily on a day to day basis people are probably getting reactions to many other vaccines that we’ve used for years. Why do you think you have to sit around for 15 minutes after a vaccine and the nursing staff are trained in things like advanced life support etc.?
It’s turning out to be the biggest unnecessary media driven misinformation vaccine rollout in history
Just get the f***ing jab so we can carry on with life
