UK reports 25 fresh cases of thrombosis associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine

I wish this article reported the denominator. 25 out of how many doses administered? What is the baseline % of people who should have gotten thrombosis naturally in the last 3 months (since doses started being administered).<p>Perhaps the answer is that this is a real risk. But the public should be taught to think in relativistic ways. It&#x27;s not that hard if every newspaper always did it as reinforcement.

Egads, what a terrible source. Can the mods please replace that with (say) the FT?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ft.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;2e52a5b0-29b9-4c7e-8cfb-97bf8edea865" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ft.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;2e52a5b0-29b9-4c7e-8cfb-97bf8edea...</a><p>The actual press release is here, but the details of the new reports are buried far down the page:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;government&#x2F;publications&#x2F;coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions&#x2F;coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;government&#x2F;publications&#x2F;coronavirus-covid...</a>

Thrombosis affects mainly people under-55s. I wonder if now that younger people are getting the vaccine, it will increase the numbers. Mostly seniors have been vaccinated in the UK, which might explain why they&#x27;ve seen way fewer cases than continental Europe.

Some people here have written software under a time crunch, and under a “management desired result” ...<p>Should we not be surprised with bugs in this vaccine deployment?
