At what point will every major party - namely AstraZeneca - understand that what's being done in Europe, regarding these side effects, is the proper procedure, and refusing to acknowledge that will only cause more suspicion and fuel conspiracy theories?<p>If this work wasn't being done, and shoved under the rug like apparently was done in the UK (that had at least 5 cases after all) and many other places that had similar cases but probably threw them in the blood clot bucket, imagine when later it was discovered that those numbers were higher then what they should have been? That's politics, not science - that's precisely the other way around of the whole accusations of all of this event being a political event.<p>Hiding these cases is the political thing. Framing all of this as an attempt to discredit and compromise the vaccination effort is the political thing. Accusing these scientists of not knowing that every day of missed vaccination will increase the probability of other deaths is the political thing.<p>Don't people have the right to be informed? Shouldn't people be making informed decisions? Shouldn't people be told what to do in case of a adverse reaction? Shouldn't they be treated and taken care of? Aren't they entitled to proper compensation in case this happens and it's attributed to the vaccine and not to some natural random event?<p>None of these regulator bodies and scientists denied the vaccine was safe and effective, they simply spotted an anomaly and did what science should do. They found adverse reactions, have a strong indication of what causes it, and now will find a way to tackle it - saving more lives that would die a needless death, of people that were following their duty as citizens and choosing to take this vaccine for their safety and the safety of others, because they believe in the institutions that take care of vaccine and medicines safety.<p>Well done.
