I think they are saying 1 : 10,000 with clots are the numbers coming out of Germany. They think those are likely to be the best numbers. Not sure why. They have a robust system for reporting adverse events, I suppose. Perhaps.
The vaccines are... Let's be generous and say 80-97 per cent effective.
That is the same thing as saying 3-20 : 100 or 300-2,000 : 10,000 people who have been vaccinated will get Covid.
So you are more likely to get Covid after being fully protected from vaccination than to get blood clot.
It could even be (but we don't know yet) that the blood clot post vaccine is due to the people actually getting Covid even though they were vaccinated.
I don't know.
I am more surprised that Moderna hasn't found this same issue with theirs. Or Pfizer.
I know that the US places were asking other companies for ALL their RAW data so they could do their own data analysis on their data. They didn't trust the data analysis.
I don't know that other countries are doing their own data analysis on the US medications? Don't know.
Apparently countries were asking for raw data out of China... Except NZ who hadn't finished reading the report, yet, or some nonsense...
Our government and the people of NZ generally are very anti-intellectual. That is to say they rubbish rubbish pooh pooh academics. And that attitude comes from within with the hiring decisions they make and the subjects they have them teach and so on. I don't know how much it is pressure from outside keeping things held back or if it genuinely comes from within.
But it means they government, even, doesn't hire skilled, knowledgeable, competent people to do the advising. There was this joke about how the politicians need to be able to understand the reports. And indeed they do. The push to even higher education is NZ has been to get people through in the minimum time (3 years for undergrad) and so on. The thought is no value is added for taking longer. YOu just realise they have nothing to teach you. They put you to work for no pay. Is all. A scummy scummy scammy scam.
