Ah, it's about COVID, what a surprise! I have had both Astra Zeneca and Pfizer jabs in the full knowledge that these vaccines were produced in record time and therefore long term safety data would not be available. If there had been any serious issues during the initial clinical trials then the studies would have been halted (as indeed happened with the A-Z vaccine until it was properly investigated). So, yes, there was a risk. The alternative was catching COVID and I well remember those interviews with folk in hospitals who were near deaths-door urging the unvaccinated to have the jab asap.

I think these "heroes" who are strongly anti-vaccine should thank those people who did have it as the latter saved the NHS from being rapidly overwhelmed, potentially leading to apocalyptic scenes of people dying unattended on stretchers in hospital car parks.
