good lord

you could vaccinate all 30 million adult canadians with the AZ vaccine and at current rates you would expect to see 300 blood clots, TOTAL, OVER THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY, IN EXCHANGE FOR NO ONE DYING OF COVID ANYMORE

for gently caress's sake

*After months of saying the best vaccine is the first one you can get* ok all vaccines are safe and effective... But also actually AZ is poo poo and if you aren't working at starbucks don't get it but also if you're under 40 or sometimes 30 you aren't allowed to get it so only get the AZ vaccine if you are aged 55-65 and also working at starbucks. Up next: Here is a need story of a lady who got the vaccine and then was hit by a bus, and how it can and will happen to you as well!

This is all John Horgan's fault, naturally.

Anyway, my post-AZ vaccine report is that I had a low fever and body aches for a few hours last night and I watched Free Solo which has been my go-to fever dream movie for the past few years now

Man, I bet there are lawyers already working on the class action re:Astrazeneca this morning. It's dubious case right now but that could change and pay out big.

e: I'm 15 days out from my Astra Zeneca. My arm is still sore when I flex it but no regrets.

What do you think the change in language from "everyone will have their first dose by Canada Day" to "everyone will have access to vaccine by Canada Day" to "everyone will the opportunity to get vaccinated" means for us not lucky enough to be old?

Free for all at 30+ years old? A lottery of some kind? Just leave out buckets of syringes?

Had a guy eat with us and become very agitated because we use the same sanitizer soaked towel to wipe down the table tops and chairs. He then proceeded to yell, unmasked, to another table about how insane this was. (We use an ammonia based sanitizer solution that can clean off the bacteria left by raw chicken)

When asked to mask back up he began to film our servers and refused to stop while hooting and hollering; he was then asked to leave before police were called.

The reaction from the table he was assaulting with his unmasked gob "We can't believe you asked him to leave after asking A SIMPLE QUESTION!"

All of these people seemed to be well above the age where they could be vaxxed up.

I loving hate people and John Horgan and want my goddamn vaccine you piece of poo poo

Yea the big issue with the AZ and any non mRNA vaccine is how effective they are. India uses AZ and there have been a lot of reporters and anecdotes of people who are getting one dose or even two still getting hospitalized and dying. If you can wait, then wait, because you probably will be getting another vaccine and it is not as safe with the variants now popping up.

My dude, they literally have 20 million cases in India today. Vaccines are good but they aren't a magic bullet. Efficacy against variants has nothing to do with it, this is a pure numbers thing.

If you're old enough to get the AZ, your risk of dying if you get covid is one in 250. Your chance of dying from the vaccine is one in 125,000. And if you live in Alberta and aren't able to stay in your house 24/7, getting covid is more of when than an if.

I never thought getting vaccinated was a risk-free endeavor and I'm kind of surprised so many people did? The difference between a 1 in 250,000 and 1 in 100,000 blood clot risk is negligible to me.

But I'd be lying if I said I didn't find this sudden about face in messaging suspicious. Like maybe they're trying to get out ahead of something.

I think it's just a colossal fuckup where they worried about NOT doing a pause when they discovered the tiny non-zero risk of death. I haven't seen data for Canada, but when they did the vaccine pause in the US, the rate of people taking AZ or J&J cratered and hasn't recovered since.
