As an add-on to my thread explaining why regulators are unlikely to detect an increase in the risk of blood clots generally due to the #AstraZenecaVaccine (annotated 100% with #JurassicPark GIFs!) I present:

Hang on a minute, *does* AZ increase overall clot risk??

[thread]
The previous thread outlined how the analysis done by #EMA and #MHRA to detect an increase in the incidence of #BloodClots after AZ was crap because they forgot they were dealing with vaccine reporting (reports filed *if* someone suspects vax link) and…
*not* a clinical trial where participants are monitored and all health issues are reported

So they ended up comparing a huge baseline rate to the tiny number of clots that actually got reported to them and now they think the AZ vaccine reduces the risk of blood clots by 98%

I'm understandably still receiving Qs from concerned & worried people about the clotting events observed in #AstraZeneca #CovidVaccine (& J&J recently in the US).
So here's a 🧵 of resources from some people I respect & trust to speak on the topic ⤵️ #COVIDー19 #scicomm #science
Dr. @MPaiMD shared an important thread as a blot clot doctor on the #astrazenecavaccine clotting events and the risk/benefit of taking #CovidVaccine vs. Dying from #COVID19:
.@MPaiMD & @SabiVM wrote a very well scientifically balanced piece covering the risks involved (very rare although serious) w/ the clotting events. Every single thing we do & every medicine/treatment we take involves risk. BUT context is impt. #scicomm

BBC presenter Lisa Shaw "developed severe headaches a week after receiving her #astrazenecavaccine and fell seriously ill a few days later.
She was treated...for blood clots and bleeding in her head."
She died last Friday.

Thanks to the @CEPIvaccines @WHO @EuWHOEurope #Covax and others, 24,000 doses of #AstraZeneca vaccines arrived in 🇲🇪 last week, and this is just fantastic! But as in other European countries, there is a lot of hesitancy and fear related to this vaccine. 👇🏻 (🧵)
The ministry of health @MinZdravlja made the #AstraZeneca vaccine available to all 65+ old citizens, and this is great news as they are the most vulnerable group that was not eligible for @sputnikvaccine and #Sinopharm vaccines given in previous weeks to people 70+ 👇🏻
The main fear from what I understand is related to the inconsistent recommendations about the appropriate target groups and recent reports of #thrombotic events recorded in several EU countries now. Let’s address the issues one by one 👇🏻

1/ Vaccines in Canada:

We all heard that #AstraZenecaVaccine was approved for use in Canada on Friday.

We now have 3 #COVID19 vaccines, but with that there are discussions re: "Which one is the best vaccine for me?"

Docs say "the best vaccine, is the one in your arm".

Why?
2/ Some thoughts:

But AstraZeneca is only ~62% effective against COVID? That's not good enough, right?

We need to examine & reflect on where we were, and where we are going.

March 11, 2020 - @WHO declares global pandemic.

Within 1 year, we have 3 vaccines (in Canada).

WOW!
3/

1 year ago, we would NOT have thought we would be in this place now.

It's a testament to a concerted global commitment to scientific excellence, that we have these available to us now.

It has definitely been a struggle, but we are making tremendous progress.

#Mkhize: [Thread] We want to use the best #CovidVaccine for SA. The #501YV2 variant has impacted on the efficacy of jabs. The results showing the impact on the #astrazenecavaccine only became available on Fri. We now know it doesn't prevent mild/moderate #COVID19 disease in SA.
#Mkhize: Government's process of procuring the #AstraZenecaVaccine started before the new results on lack of efficacy in South Africa became available.
#Mkhize: The public has concerns about the expiry date of the #AstraZenecaVaccine. The vaccine has not expired yet. The doses would have been used up by the April expiry date with our original #VaccineforSouthAfrica roll-out strategy.

.@ShabirMadh, principal investigator of the SA arm of the #astrazenecavaccine: This slide explains who participated in the SA arm of the study: Adults between 18 and 65, everyone got 2 doses, 2000 participants. To show protection we need 60% protection, Madhi says.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca study wasn't designed to determine whether the vaccine protects against severe #COVID19 disease or not. Rather, it looked at mild to moderate disease.
Those who develop severe disease are the ones who will end up in hospital or die - it's important that vaccines protect against severe disease. But our study only looked at if the vaccine protects against mild and moderate #COVID19 disease.
