Doesn’t that article strongly work against the conspiracy theories regarding vaccination that have currency amongst some members here?
It seems to indicate that vaccination guidelines are being actively managed by the authorities to maximise safety in specific sub-populations as more data becomes available.
No-one has ever claimed that Covid represents an equal danger to all demographic groups or that vaccines are equally safe for all demographic groups.
I think the relevant part of the article is still the info it gives regarding the relative rareity of the specific side effect. There are many everyday medical procedures and medications that represent a greater risk but raise far less public anxiety.
54 TTS cases from 16,000,000 doses with, I think, 7 deaths. Unfortunately there is no actuarial data analysing how many of that 16 million people did not die from Covid thanks to being vaccinated. So it’s a bit hard to calculate the risk/benefit profile across the whole population.
“The CDC said that as of November 24, more than 16.4 million doses of the J&J vaccine had been given in the United States, and the CDC and FDA have 54 confirmed reports of people who later developed TTS. Symptoms began one to two weeks following vaccination, the FDA says.
The FDA said Tuesday that cases of TTS after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine "have been reported in males and females 18 years of age and older, with the highest reporting rate of approximately 1 (one) case per 100,000 doses administered in females 30-49 years of age; overall, approximately 1 out of 7 cases has been fatal," the agency added.”
Well of course it seems to indicate that everything is all under control by the "authorities"...it's from CNN brought to you by Pfizer
and if everything was going so great, why the revisit to discuss if the benefits outweigh the risks again?
