This is same thing that happened with CDC and "masks aren't needed". A white lie with good intent but nevertheless just false info. I'm sure if we polled all the bio-phd's with option between the vaccines, they will all choose mRNA based ones because they have higher protection %'s, and significantly lower side effect risks. Most countries don't have the luxury of giving their citizens the choice, so they resort to making up a lie to calm people from "bank run" on mRNA vaccines. https://old.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/mh7wtw/astrazeneca_covid19_vaccine_review_of_very_rare/ https://old.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/mh7wtw/astrazeneca... "It was mentioned by Emer Cooke during the press conference. "For the AZ vaccine based on spontaneous reporting in the EEA it's 4.8 cases per million, for the Biontech vaccine, based on the same criteria it was 0.2 cases per million and for the Moderna vaccine, based on the same criteria, 0 cases per million" So ~25 fold compared to the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine. 0.2 cases per million is in line with the expected number of cases in the general population. The Moderna vaccine probably hasn't been used enough in the EEA for such rare events to occur. It's also worth keeping in mind that these numbers are based on older data. It is based on 62 reported cases (of which 44 are in the EEA). Germany alone has reported 31 cases and they aren't all included here. So expect these numbers for the AZ vaccine to go up a bit when they announce their updated recommendations at the plenary meeting next week."
