> does the global medical establishment even have a chance at salvaging the reputation of mRNA?

AstraZeneca's Covishield is not an mRNA vaccine; it is a viral vector vaccine, using Adenovirus. The small possibility of blood clots was acknowledged by medical authorities after a few months of use, with some jurisdictions going so far as to suspend its use, citing the mRNA vaccines as a safer alternative.

When I got my AstraZeneca vaccine (in 2021?) I remember it was common knowledge that fatal blood clots were a side effect, and from the evidence at the time I estimated that the chances of it killing me were 1 in 500,000. Have those odds changed with new information?
