Who is getting the COVID-19 Vaccine?

lol who the fuck cares which country gets to 50% first. Was that an attempt at a feel good, give yourself a pat on the back post or something?

How is it even fair to compare Canada to the States when they have 300 million more people than us? Do I really need to point out how much more difficult the US' job is compared to ours?

I would pay good money to see Trudeau beg the world for vaccines if he had 330+ Canadians under his watch. I wonder if he would offer other countries free yoga lessons taught by his wife like he did with his liberal staffers.

I’m pretty sure you’re automatically registered for Sophie’s yoga class as a reward for posting that liberal propaganda.

It really pisses me off when people keep tossing the word lock down around as we have never been in a lock down. We have only been put into heavy restrictions.

And I don't even consider them heavy just more of a nuisance.

What difference does it make what word you use to describe it. Lockdowns, restrictions or government incompetence.

It may be a nuisance to you, but people with business like veggie who seesaw opening and closing, while spending stupid amounts to follow bs opening restriction guidelines only to close again, probably find it more than just annoying.

Because anyone with 2 cents knows this isn't a lock down and anyone who says it is just shows incompetence of knowing what it means.

Restriction is not a lock lock down. If we were in a lock down things would be far worse. We still have the freedom to do things unlike places that went into an actual lock down.

I got my first shot of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. How do I know if I’m at risk of developing a rare blood clot?

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/poli...neca-covid-19/

However, having one dose of AstraZeneca without developing clots doesn’t guarantee the second shot will be problem-free

“There have now been cases of VITT identified after the second dose,” says Dr. Sholzberg. “So we can’t offer the reassurance that if you got your first dose and you were fine, you should be fine with your second dose.”

Do you have a vagina? Literally the most important question to answer yours.

Also, that article is 3 weeks old, and loads of people had AZ after the 20th.

Edit: that's funny, the article initially said published April 20th, now it says today, lol.

My business has been forced to close for 10 of the last 14 months with no realistic way to produce revenue. I have been floating the cost of keeping things alive from my own pocket.

But yeah, just a slight nuisance as you say.

I can safely say, this is no big deal in general, and for you specifically. If you were already at a higher risk for clotting, heart attack or stroke, you should probably talk to your doctor about the benefits of a low-dose aspirin. (Or a half of a regular aspirin every other day, which is the same effective dose).


But overall, literally everything in that article is no big deal. Chillax brah.

There are two articles and the 2nd one quotes

I'm not one to say "fake news" but this feels exactly like what fake news actually means.

[killramos]

Dude you need to keep calm.

If you keep freaking out that clot is going to kill you.

[ExtraSlow]

Haven't you heard about the theory of attraction? Talking about clots causes clots. Rip Coupe.

Thanks Mods for moving this to this correct thread. This is now truly a MEGA thread. ExtraSlow is pleased.

This is not an old article. This is a new article, decision was made today. Alberta is no longer giving AZ as first dose, regardless of age, citing small risk, while our other vaccines are ramping up. Just a better balance to mitigate risks further because we can. Any further AZ shipments (who knows when since India stopped exporting) will only go towards 2nd doses.

@Buster is going to shit on me for this, but there are a fuck ton of people in India protected by AZ catching whatever variant is going around there. Just employees/families alone, we have 5 cases of people with 1 or 2 shots of AZ still catching covid all symptomatic. Unfortunately, with no variant testing, there's zero supporting actual data to show wtf is happening. Of course, with no Pfizer or Moderna in India, can't just shit on only AZ. More anecdotes to dissect.

[2Legit2Quit]

JT can get his second AZ dose sooner perhaps, blessing in disguise? #clotlife

[ExtraSlow]

India is a real pressure cooker. If they had solid data it would be a really useful laboratory for the rest of the world to study, but as it is, so hard to draw useful conclusions, aside from not to live in poor, dense countries during a pandemic, which isn't a surprise.

Fact is, the comparison between vaccine brand, type, number of doses, personal health risk factors, riskiness of behavior, and the change in time of all of those, it's a big yarn-ball of data that is pretty hard to untangle. The data science people will be teasing that apart for years. But for now, it's just not possible for individuals or governments to come up with much.

@89coupe

The clot symptoms are going to be excruciating and creep up after the first 48 hr sick feelings go away. You'll feel good, then get stupid pain.

Like a cracked rim after a pot hole... You're gonna notice.

It doesn't seem to be the case that they are worried about the risk and that's why it's stopping. We're about to run out of AZ and they want the last little bit on hand for seconds in the face of uncertain supply.

Alberta has stopped administering first doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

In a statement Tuesday, Alberta Health spokesperson Tom McMillan said since there are no known future shipments of AstraZeneca at this time, a determination was made to utilize the remaining supply as second doses.

When asked if the move was at least in part due to concerns over rare blood clots linked to AstraZeneca, McMillan replied the decision was “based on the fact that we are receiving no known future shipments of AstraZeneca at this time but are receiving large quantities of mRNA vaccines.”

“We will continue to monitor the emerging research, and keep Albertans informed in the weeks ahead,” McMillan added, saying the province will continue to adapt depending on supply and emerging research.
