It really Isn't, according to USAToday 6.8 million doses have already been administered. But just like when the boss lady witnessed a young girl get a seizure right after getting her J&J vaccine, these types of cases should be investigated, out of abundance of caution, like the announcement from J&J states. Better safe than sorry. Can't give a reason to worry to people already on the fence about getting a vaccine.

Perhaps vaccine safety isn't about statistically significant numbers, but more about ensuring it is safe for everyone, or at least identifying people who should not receive it due to underlying conditions and such. Whether something is statistically relevant only applies to their trials, when it would have been unlikely to show up. This issue is extremely rare so it may have not shown up in a person within their sample set. The fact that the authorities on such matters are taking this seriously is a good sign. |

Also, FYI, you get a greater amount of replicating virus from actually catching covid than you do from a vaccine (some vs none) so calling one a microdose of the other is an incorrect characterization. They are two different things which trigger the same immune response. The difference is that the vaccine doesn't do much else. The virus will continue to do damage while it is in your body. The range of side effects of the vaccine are entirely dependent on the body's reaction to it. The body would likely have similar reactions to the virus if unvaccinated. The virus has additional effects caused by the damage it does. If you are intending to live well into retirement age, your current philosophy is counter to your own survival. As you age, you will become more susceptible to the virus should it survive. If more people catch it and allow it to replicate and mutate the chances are greater that it will be there when you are 60+, and there is no guarantee your immune system will protect you. |

The concept of statistical significance is not a applied when entire populations are involved. It is used in studies involving sampling techniques to estimate the potential impact of sampling error on the observed results. The question is "how likely is it that what I observe in my data are due to the fact that the sample is wonky (not representative of the population) and are NOT indicative of what happens in the real world?" If the likelihood that the observed findings are due to chance is less than .05 or better still .01 then many researchers are willing to say the findings are "real." If you're a glutton for punishment, google up Type 1 and Type 2 errors.
6 incidents out of almost seven million doses is by some reckonings not a cause for concern. That said, with the causal chain a mystery, drug makers and government health authorities tend to be hyper cautious about distribution of new drugs. The specter of the Thalidomide Disaster in the 60s casts a long shadow. I suspect the pause(es) in the distributions of the AZ and J&J vaccines will be temporary, Both vaccines use a different "carrier} process from the Moderna and Pfizer products. My bet is the really smart people studying this will get something of a handle on the clotting problems pretty quickly and we'll be back in business. Some seem to think the current vaccines offer immunity to only one strain of virus and therefore it is not worth getting vaccinated because of the possibility of variants. This is wrongheaded for a number of reasons. First, the current vaccines ARE effective (to a greater of lesser extent) against all known strains of the virus (as far as I can tell). Second, the rush to vaccinate is due to the concern that a mutation will occur that will create a new strain that can breakout through the vaccine shield. The longer the virus runs loose in the population the more likely that "breakout" mutation will happen. Most recent edit: Sometimes I really wish we could cordon off a continent, build a bubble over and put all the deniers (vaccines, climate change, and all the rest) there. They could share their reality and the rest of us could share ours. It would isolate the rest of the population from the effects of the decisions of of the deniers and would present a series of interesting natural experiments for biological and social scientists..

I just feel that the same thing is being explained over and over again as if it will eventually get through.
But, I can tell you, it won't. If for some reason we enjoy the banter, then OK. But forget about people like Pilot, use common sense. He probably flies for Delta lol.

After faucis latest comments I'm beginning to reconsider the vaccine entirely. What's the point? Bullshit virtue signaling.
