The data shows the difference between efficacy - based on young, healthy people in the main - and observational effectiveness.
Nobody seems in a hurry to pinpoint causal relationships.
Clots!
The data shows the difference between efficacy - based on young, healthy people in the main - and observational effectiveness.I believe being informed is as important for investing as it is for health decisions. Just as traders rely on information from graphs and investing resources before making decisions, people rely on public health information before they take a medical-related course of action. I do not like the fact that our media hardly ever give us available facts about vaccines. Anyone can look up VAERS information, but most people do not know it exists. Here is some info from it.
Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the number of injuries and deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following COVID vaccines revealed reports of blood clots and other related blood disorders associated with all three vaccines approved for Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S. — Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (J&J). So far, only the J&J vaccine has been paused because of blood clot concerns.
VAERS is the primary mechanism for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received through a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Today’s data show that between Dec. 14, 2020 and April 8, a total of 68,347 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 2,602 deaths — an increase of 260 over the previous week — and 8,285 serious injuries, up 314 since last week.
Of the 2,602 deaths reported as of April 8, 27% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 19% occurred within 24 hours and 41% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated.
In the U.S., 174.9 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of April 8. This includes 79.6 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine, 90.3 million doses of Pfizer and 4.9 million doses of the J&J COVID vaccine.
This week’s VAERS data show:
19% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.
55% of those who died were male, 43% were female and the remaining death reports did not include gender of the deceased.
The average age of those who died was 77 and the youngest death was an 18-year-old. There are a few reported deaths in children under 18, but these reports contained errors.
As of April 8, 408 pregnant women had reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 114 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.
Of the 678 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 59% of cases were reported after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations, 38% following vaccination with the Moderna vaccine and 24 cases (4%) of Bell’s Palsy were reported with J&J.
There were 77 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome with 55% of cases attributed to Pfizer, 40% to Moderna and 10% to J&J.
Just like the Tesla crash that killed two people yesterday these adverse reactions are 'very rare' and worth the risk because of the greater risk of the disease (or error-prone human-controlled vehicles) unless it happens to you!
And to prove my point, this pops up on the ABC website.Personally living in W.A, I have decided to put travel plans on hold until 2023, so if possible I will hold off having the vaccine until it is time to travel.
Of course this could change if the incidence of cases in W.A increases and or the vaccine becomes compulsory.
I'm not anti vax, far from it, just a personal choice on this vaccine, if I lived on the East Coast my decision could be different.
They said would be all done by easterActually a bit shocked that only 7% have been vaccinated.
"Fewer than 7% of disability care residents have so far received a dose of Covid vaccine, leaving 25,000 residents unvaccinated despite being in the top priority group."
Fewer than 7% of disability care residents in Australia have received Covid jab
Health department also reveals a reduction in the number of young people wanting to take the vaccinewww.theguardian.com

Not meaning to rain on your parade @Belli since you were already taking medication, but this is what is on the government website:I had the first shot of the AstraZeneca last Friday week. Sore arm at the injection site for a couple of days but apart from that no other issue. Next shot in three months time. I'm taking low dose (100mg) Asprin following surgery a while ago so that will mitigate potential blood clot issues.

Who knows, maybe Morrison has called it right again, time will tell.
I was talking about the stop on Indian repatriations, most countries are getting worried about it and I think most Australians will be pleased with the freeze.What! After Morison told all and sundry how good our quarantine system is (ad nauseam) along with Hunt after state premiers saying hotels are not fit for purpose.
After Morrison calling for states to drop the lock downs and border closures.
Morrison then stops inbound from India... why? Because of our useless quarantine system due to fears of an out break.
Good example of how good the states quarantine systems are, two states only use P2 masks in quarantine the rest surgical masks WTF.
Morrison = BS.

With the apparent brouhaha surrounding the repatriation of Australian residents from India - or elsewhere - I just wonder about the logistics on it. Assuming there is a large number from India alone, I wonder, if they were able to get back, where would you put a large number for quarantine, is there sufficient resources to manage it including health checks and the like? That's apart from scheduling any repatriation flights.
I understand some health professionals have a view the exposure to the B.1.617 variant is inevitable and we should accept it is going to happen anyway. However, that is professional opinion and others have a different views. In any event, they aren't the ones who have to actually make the decisions. It is not a responsibility I would like to have to be honest.
Well one just has to listen to todays response to the Virgin CEO, who said the borders should be opened even it it causes a few deaths.With the apparent brouhaha surrounding the repatriation of Australian residents from India - or elsewhere - I just wonder about the logistics on it.

Why are you repeating a link which is bollocks?this is the 2011 Phizer CEO (or similar ) speaking.
from today's news looks like the narrative is changing. airports will be shut until 80% population vaccinated... and what do we do with the other 15% ??
not looking good
