Re: Norwegian experts say blood clots were caused by the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine
#2Is it really so crazy to think that these vaccines which were (necessarily) rushed to production might have problems? The solution is not to just shut our eyes and say “well COVID is worse”. We have to understand the risks to administer the right vaccine to people with risk factors, and so we know how to treat the conditions that result.

#3I think a lot of folks are making the mistake of realising that inaction is action. To not vaccinate is an action, and one that carries its own risks.

#4Based on all the information provided in this article, this article is premature to publish. The headline is accurate, as 'experts say', but lack of any independent support of data supporting the claim, makes this dubious (at best) to publish at this point.
Re: Norwegian experts say blood clots were caused by the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine
#5Interesting, and very concerning if it's true. I was given my first shot of the AZ vaccine on Monday afternoon, so I was aware of the reports of blood clots at the time although only in outline. I just don't understand how come the same reaction hasn't been seen in the millions of people vaccinated with AZ outside Norway (edit - it has been, thanks for the info, none of the articles I've come across properly explained this).
Regardless I don't regret going ahead and getting the jab even for a second. Even if this turns out to be perfectly accurate, it seems to me the risk from the virus is dramatically greater. In fact while I don't want to trivialise what happened to these people, it's awful, I think the biggest concern for me is the millions of people who are not getting vaccinated or have delayed vaccinations due to these concerns, the thousands of them that will end up contracting Covid-19, and the hundreds of them that will end up dead.
This is a real-life example of the runaway railcar switch dilemma. The train car is heading towards a crowd of millions of people and will plough through the middle of them killing many hundreds, or you can throw the switch and divert the railcar so it hits a handful of people prone to the blood clot reaction. A horrible situation to be in. Oh well, I made the choice for myself which group I want to join*.
* Yes, a terrible analogy, but it's the best I could come up with during my lunch break.

If only the same standard were applied to all statements about Covid.

#7> “We have the reason. Nothing but the vaccine can explain why these individuals had this immune response”, he states.
Do these two sentences not _directly_ contradict each other?

Or, really, everything in the news.

They do not. Rewritten for concision:
> “We have the reason: only the vaccine could have caused this immune response”
