- carlmr 6y agoThe way I understood it these blood clots are a different kind of blood clot, and almost always deadly. But the amounts of "accepted" blood clots with the contraceptive pill are quite horrific.
- jamsiedaly 6y agoI believe a lot of people are missing the point here that you can choose whether or not to the take the pill. Many women I know choose not to take it because of health side effects. The issue of side effects with vaccines is a lot of people feel like they are being coerced through talk of vaccine passports and other measures.
- zpeti 6y agoThe vaccine clots killed 19/76 cases or something like that in the last report, so not exactly “always deadly”

- zpeti 6y agoWhy not mention the very negative mentions of AZ by macron and merkel? Macron even wanted to stop all foreign vaccines and rely on some French one. I have no love for Putin or Johnson but this most certainly wasn’t down to just their politics. EU leaders are massively at fault here with their rhetoric too.
- rsynnott 6y agoThis is your brain on the Daily Mail, I think... There is no approved French vaccine.
- zpeti 6y agoMacron wanted to use this vaccine as a matter of national pride. He talked down Astrazeneca because of it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/26/french-self-esteem-hit-after-pasteur-institute-abandons-covid-vaccine https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/26/french-self-es... Things have changed a lot since then, it's been forgotten.
- rsynnott 6y agoI'm not sure how you're getting that from that article (which doesn't even _mention_ AZ). If France had wanted to specifically use a French vaccine it would presumably have pursued an independent purchasing model, like the UK and Hungary.
