They are not giving people an educated choice, they are taking that choice away until they deem it okay to give it back. Education is knowing that 7/7,000,000 had a blood clot + the other tests that were done leading up to its release. We know that now. We're educated.
- FunnyLookinHat 6y agoSorry you are correct - I should have been more specific in my wording. We should give people an educated choice. With unknown side effects we are not doing that. Thank you for pointing that out.
- lghh 6y agoIt is impossible to rule out unknown side effects. The blood clots are now known. Any side effect that is unknown will always remain unknown. You could always be the first person to experience a symptom, whether it's Tylenol or this vaccine.
- 8note 6y agoWe should be very specific though: If you take this vaccine, there's a 1 in 10 billion chance that a meteor strikes the pharmacy while you're in it. Make sure you cover every possible thing, no matter how unlikely.
- fspeech 6y agoIt is CVST not just blood clots. There are a lot more blood clots with or without the vaccine. CVST is rare so is the proverbial canary in the coal mine here. The CVST incidents give a lower bound on risk. The trial data give a rough upper bound on risk (rough due to the small sample size). Knowledge is being refined here. We can't make educated choices without knowledge.
- josefx 6y ago> They are not giving people an educated choice Hard to give people an educated choice without looking into the issue first. Once they know what is going on it will most likely be back to normal. There was a similar issue in Europe, but that neatly overlapped with a delivery shortage of the affected vaccine.
