    So 30 cases identified in 18 million jabs in the uk.....I guess we can let them carry on locking down whilst we open up? Like the MHRA say the benefits out way any risks, in the uk anyway it would seem.

    It's almost as if you're less likely to catch an airborne virus when outside.

    Germany have a reported 31 cases in 2.7million jabs, mainly in younger people. Limiting jabs to over 65s, especially if they have a limited supply anyway doesn't seem that crazy does it?

    Why anyone would think this is done out of embarrassment or spite is beyond me.

    It’s still a very small amount though, is that deaths or just cases? It was recently stated that the Pfizer jab had a similar amount.....
    Whatever they say, it’s just another little jab in our direction I feel....who knows why, like an ex misses who just won’t go quietly.

    I think that's probably due to the large number of 2nd & 3rd generation Polish in German football. In the 60's & 70's Polish and Turkish immigrants usually filled the menial vacancies that the Germans preferred not to do.

    31 cases, 9 deaths. It is a very small amount, I'm under 65 and I'm really happy to have had my first AZ jab.

    If you are so convinced the German government is intentionally endangering the lives of it's citizens to have a pop at us, what do you think the Canadian government's motivation is?

    It's also because it's next door.

    Do keep posting about your experiences. They are really interesting to read, old fruit

    Exactly.

    This whole thread is a trainwreck. This is all about the precautionary principle. No evidence to show that the vaccine works for over 65's = 'Let's not use it for over 65's yet'. No evidence that these rather suspicious deaths aren't caused by the vaccine = 'Let's not use it for the people who appear potentially at risk. Do I think this is the right thing to do during a pandemic? Debateable. But to label it as confusion or some sly dig at the UK is just plain delusional.

    Now, do I think that in the December and January, there was a hell of lot of money thrown into trying to find fault with the AZ vaccine by other companies? I would be beyond shocked if that wasn't the case.

    Being pedantic? Would the Germans prefer 50,000 deaths (60 year olds) from covid out of the 2.5 million instead?

    Sorry, but I'm having trouble following your argument.

    Are you now saying that the German government would be willing to sacrifice 50,000 German lives, to enable them to have a sly dig at us?

    Yeah I saw that. I would agree that they are probably being over cautious, I guess time will tell.

    I just find it hard to imagine that they would sacrifice their citizens lives just to make a point.

    Re: Vaccine Confusion Europe

    I don’t think they are literally sacrificing citizens to make a point, but I’m not sure they know exactly what they are doing anymore, hence merkels u turn on a Easter lockdown two weeks ago. They dithered when ordering vaccines, they still appear to be now albeit looking over at us bitterly as we finally get our shit together. What will Italy’s 3 day lockdown achieve? It’s taken 3 months here. It’s a mess.

    I couldn't agree more with all you say here, they have really messed up their vaccine distribution effort. It’s Just the conspiracy theory bit of the argument that I really can’t see.

    Re: Vaccine Confusion Europe

    I can’t see a conspiracy either, and I love a conspiracy....I can’t explain it. When you look at the figures in that bbc article and the fact the Pfizer jab can cause clots too, it’s just strange.

    No it cannot or at least, just like AstraZenica it has not been proven that either does yet. These clots appear in people without any injections too, and the frequency is sl low in those with the vaccine as to be almost impossible to prove.
    Covid causes blood clots
