The Astrazeneca has been administered to around 70% of the 24million people who have been vaccinated in the UK with NO REPORTED PROBLEMS. There has been no proof that the Astra-Zeneca is causing issues, just EU led political sensationalism because they FUBAR'ed the whole programme, which will only hurt the EU in the long run while supplies remain constrained and which will causing hundred of billions of dollars in additional economic damage, and hundreds of thousands of additional lost lives .....
Both Astra-zeneca and pfizer have achieve these results in DIFFERENT ways. Astra-Zeneca is more of a classical vaccine versus the pfizer and it seems that Astra-Zeneca provokes a stronger initial immune response (which is a good thing!!!) and which is why some people feel rundown on day 1.. that is it..
My youngest sister got covid(early thirties!!), and 5 months later she cannot smell or taste anything at all .. still. Doctor tells her she has to re-train her brain for smell/taste .... You have to wonder what else it messed up while it was there in her brain ... She was as healthy as it comes.. but it took time for immune system to figure out how to fight covid and in the "interim" it caused a lot of damage to her until she fought it off. Everyone else in the house managed to fight it off ok, eventually but it took ages and knocked them for six and then some...
Why risk that, with "oh i am young...." routine?
Astra-Zeneca is proving to work better than Pfizer in older people in preventing serious hospitilisations .... you have to look at what the stats are showing...
People get blood clots all the time, people die of heart attacks all the time. Given how many vaccines have been given out.. we have seen a few dozen random reported cases which have more to do with a normal population having normal health issues, then be specific to either vaccine .. if you dont drink enough water and sit on your arse all day, you run the risk of a blood clot..
I trust Astra-Zeneca more because it is more of a traditional vaccine than pfizer.. so go figure which is best. ( I will take whatever vaccine the UK goverment gives me without bias .. it is better than nothing .. ).
What ever happens, people should get the vaccine. Its only when most of the population is vaccinated, that we get out of this nightmare. This vrus has to be starved to death by people having strong immune responses to kill it quickly in days rather than the normal immune systems spending weeks to work out how to fight it and then fight it, in the process, infecting MORE people while that fight happens...
Grow up people ..
