You are significantly underestimating the experts working on evaluating these cases:
> The number of these cases after vaccination with COVID-19 AstraZeneca is statistically significantly higher than the number of cerebral venous thromboses that normally occur in the unvaccinated population. For this purpose, an observed-versus-expected analysis was performed, comparing the number of cases expected without vaccination in a 14-day time window with the number of cases reported after approximately 1.6 million AstraZeneca vaccinations in Germany. About one case would have been expected, and seven cases had been reported.

I don't know who is "we", but we definitely do need this vaccine, because you are more likely to die in a car crash than from the AZ vaccine.
- andrewflnr 5y agoAll I'm questioning is the quality of the news coverage. Thanks for adding details, no thanks for assuming I'm an idiot. And if we have three other vaccines that are all known to be more effective, why should anyone bother with the one that causes blood clots?
- Pyramus 5y agoApologies, I've misread your comment as 'experts didn't consider X', which to my surprise was a common pattern in the responses. You do clearly criticise the news coverage, not the experts. I agree with you that loosing AZ is not a disaster, still we have a considerable shortage of vaccines in Europe, and giving AZ to a subset, say, men and women over 65, seems like a more reasonable solution.
