It's the vaccine bans that are bad. Careful review is not. When your government doesn't let you take something you want, it's a ban we just aren't using the word. This one was particularly eggregious, because even if the side effect was caused by AZ (unlikely but possible), it would still make sense to take the vaccine. But giving people a choice is the important thing, particularly in a situation where risk profiles vary so widely. Using pessimistic assumptions and data we knew in July 2020 it made sense to lift the ban, let alone now.
