I wonder if there is any data about the vaccine's safety from UK? Isn't UK vaccinating its whole population using AZ exclusivly?

The UK has identified basically the same pattern (https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/...), but they don’t think the clots are an important problem because they’re so rare.

> One of the five reported cases was fatal, MHRA Vaccine Safety Lead Philip Bryan said, adding that the cases were all among men aged between 19 and 59.

This is weird. In Germany almost all of the cases were women.

I think in Germany it was biased towards health care workers, who are more likely to be women.

But this is interesting of course, since there are speculations about young women's baseline increased thrombosis risk weighing in on the stats.

I think this makes it much more likely to be an actual problem with the vaccine.

Either way, the numbers don't justify the restrictions. People should be allowed to make an educated choice for themselves.

UK started in December with Pfizer/Biontech, AZ since roughly 2021 I believe.
