Absolute fucking stupidity.
Thirty cases of blood clotting out of five million. More people will die because they're not vaccinated.
And that's ignoring the fact that this may just be a statistical blip. There's a lot of diseases humans could catch, and sometimes there's going to be clusters.
German politicians said they're suspending vaccinations "out of an abundance of caution".
Given these numbers, we should continue to vaccinate out of an abundance of caution.
These people would refuse to board a rescue vessel because "it seems kind of unstable" and prefer to keep treading water.
- yoaviram 6y agoAn hypothesis: I'm not sure about Germany but in France, Spain and several other European countries 40% of the population do not want to get vaccinated. I believe the countries that have suspended AZ have done so so that those who generally doubt the safety of vaccination don't have a reason to further doubt this one. Even if a small percentage of those 40% is convinced by this act it's a large number of people.

- Mudface_72 6y agoThe headline is misleading, half of Europe put AZ on hold. Because the complications hit young health workers. We prefer to keep our health workers alive, maybe other countries have other strategies, just go ahead, maybe we will follow. On Monday Germany, Spain, Italy, and France were among those to suspend deployment of the vaccine, following similar moves made last week by Denmark, Norway, Ireland, and others.
