At the end of the day, it matters not which vaccine we have had, the desired result is that we have less risk of a severe covid infection, and less risk to end up in an ICU. Whatever the vaccine, the risk is so much lower than the risk of covid that the chatterings of the media should pale into insignificance.

New research out today that having COVID itself causeses more blood clots than the vaccines do ...

"Blood clot risk from Covid around eight times higher than from AstraZeneca jab"

A study of 500,000 COVID-19 patients found CVST had occurred at a rate of 39 people out of a million following infection, researchers said. That compares with European Medicines Agency (EMA) figures showing that 5 in a million people reported CVST after getting AstraZeneca’s shot.

The researchers said in a pre-print study that the risk of CVST was 8-10 times higher following COVID-19 infection than it was from existing vaccines for the disease.

“The risk of having a (CVST) after COVID-19 appears to be substantially and significantly higher than it is after receiving the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine,” Maxime Taquet of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry told reporters.

The study was based on a U.S. health database, and so did not accrue new data on the risk of clots from AstraZeneca’s vaccine directly, as the shot is not being rolled out there.

I know which risk I'd take.

2nd jab achieved this afternoon(Pfizer).  6 hours later, so far so good.
