New Scandinavian study of Oxford COVID vaccine thrombosis risk
https://b-s-h.org.uk/about-us/news/new-scandinavian-study-of-oxford-covid-vaccine-thrombosis-risk/
A population study in two Scandinavian countries of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has found 11 excess venous thromboembolic events for every 100,000 vaccinations.
Yawn - what use is that to a concerned anti-vaxxer, when the vaccine is saving Billions of people Every Day from Covid?
Further
“According to one expert, without vaccination, the population would face significantly increased risks of thrombotic events from viral infection.”
It’s a no-brainer, see? Whatever it is you’re worried about - whether it’s covid or blood clots - you’re covered either way with the vaccine - aren’t you? Just get that sleeve up, the article continues - I paraphrase a little.
The press has been full of reports pointing out that if you get covid you might get a blood clot.
But here’s the thing. You have to get covid first to get a blood clot via covid. I think I did that calculation somewhere based on rates at the time but can’t find it. Anyway, the quoted expert is being disingenuous.
This post from 2 months ago gave this number:
"
“There are reports of 30 such cases among five million people who were vaccinated until March 10.”
From what I understand of the rates of blood clot type events in the population, that rate of 30 per 5 million wouldn’t be alarming but under what was normally expected, if that was the totality.
From 30 in five million, now we’re at 1 in 9,000.
BTW these are excess blood clot risks - on top of whatever the risk is of getting a blood clot NOT from the vaccine.
And here’s the other thing. It’s now accepted, if you look hard enough, that blood clots are accepted as being caused by the vaccines. Eg this paper.
Several things follow:
The vaccine definitely does things (sometimes) it’s not supposed to.
There is no way of knowing what other effects there are.
It’s not a no-brainer anymore - everyone should/has to weigh up the risks for themselves. The risk of catching Covid-19 and getting sick or dying, vs the risk of sickness/death from the vaccine.
The spin/lie that it IS a no-brainer is misinforming the public, who in a legal sense can’t give informed consent based on this information.
There are concrete risks on both sides.
I’d throw in there are more risks from the vaccine than are known, not least the long term; and also that the risk of sickness/dying of covid has been greatly increased by the policy of not treating the disease at the virus stage (eg the antivirals HCQ/Zinc, Vitamin D, Ivermectin, Vitamin C etc).
One must also factor in that they’ll be tugging at your sleeve every few months for booster shots or tweaks for ‘variants’ - a problem that does not exist for antivirals.
Also, of course, the two vitamins in the above list are highly beneficial generally - indeed severe covid cases typically occur in patients who are deficient in these vitamins. Many researchers and doctors who have used these as prophylaxis say this would have prevented the pandemic from taking hold.
I think the concrete take-home is that the sure knowledge of a highly risky adverse reaction means the vaccine shouldn’t be touted the way it is, as a saviour.
And vaccine hesitants should not have to take criticism from the ignorant - who haven’t done ANY comparison.
