    I think that the AZ "risk" question has been misunderstood. It surely is a matter of relative risk, i.e. the risk from taking the vaccine versus the risk from not being vaccinated. The balance of AZ risk is less favourable for younger people not so much because the being-vaccinated risk is higher (it is), but because the risk from not being vaccinated is so much lower.

    Furthermore this calculation is affected by the prevalence of the disease, which changes the balance of risk for everyone. Also the risk from not being vaccinated has to be measured over some time interval, in theory how long it would take to get an alternative vaccine.

    Exactly.

    Per Luke O'Neill 7 days ago:

    "That began to become not true because it became clear age was not a predicter for clotting. In other words, young people have the same risk of clotting as older people - so it is across the board basically. That immediately means we should be using AstraZeneca across all age groups, there is no question now".

    Luke O'Neill is wrong. From the UK's report in May:

    "The overall incidence after first or unknown doses was 14.7 per million doses. Taking into account the different numbers of patients vaccinated with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in different age groups, the data shows that there is a higher reported incidence rate in the younger adult age groups following the first dose compared to the older groups (20.1 per million doses in those aged 18-49 years compared to 10.8 per million doses in those aged 50 years and over). The number of first doses given to those in the 18-49 years age group is estimated to be 8.5 million while an estimated 16 million first doses have been given to patients aged 50+ years. "

    Apologies if this has already been posted:

    FDA adds a warning to Covid-19 vaccines about risk of heart inflammation
    The FDA is advising vaccine recipients to seek immediate medical attention if they experience "chest pain, shortness of breath, or feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart after vaccination."
    Both the FDA and CDC are monitoring reports of these adverse events and will follow up to assess longer-term outcomes, the FDA noted.

    I don't have any biases, I'm basing my opinions on the information available.

    Is Luke O'Neill your only source on this?

    As per the MHRA report published last Thursday:

    "The overall incidence after first or unknown doses was 14.7 per million doses. Taking into account the different numbers of patients vaccinated with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in different age groups, the data shows that there is a higher reported incidence rate in the younger adult age groups following the first dose compared to the older groups (20.1 per million doses in those aged 18-49 years compared to 10.8 per million doses in those aged 50 years and over)."

    The risk is double for the under 50s v over 50s.

    Or do you know better than the experts at the MHRA?

    I would believe a well known scientist in ireland over someone on boards.

    Its clear you have held a belief from April/May and your not going to change.

    Luke O'Neill has changed his mind about the risk.

    NIAC has changed their mind about the risk.

    Young people in ireland today believe acceptable risk (68% would take an AZ/J&J) if offered.

    All these people are idiots, who wont follow the data from April. How foolish they all are.

    It's a balance between the risk of harm from covid (which is higher for older cohorts) and the risk of harm from AZ (which is higher for younger cohorts). Of course this balance is impacted by higher prevalence rates, new variants, etc. Not disputing that for a moment.

    A poster asked about the risks associated with the various vaccines. Another poster said the risk from AZ was one in a million which is obviously not the case, so I was responding to that.

    Myocarditis is known to increase in younger male MRNA vaccinated cohorts.

    Your just biased towards AZ.

    https://www.aappublications.org/news/2021/06/10/covid-vaccine-myocarditis-rates-061021

    From poll today young people just want A vaccine, any vaccine given the amount of covid in circulation.

    We would all be alot more choosy about vaccines (pros and cons of each) and side effects etc. if covid wasnt an ongoing issue.

    We dont have that luxury (young or old sick or healthy).

    What is the HSE vaccination document?

    I went to my GP for the first shot of the Pfizer vaccine (second one in 2 weeks) and got a card with the date and the batch number but nothing from the HSE.

    One very telling thing from this is that they were in the dugout for the game. Says to me they were asymptomatic and raring to play a professional game.


    Yes some people will test positive even if vaccinated... the virus is replicating within them probably but the immune system knows exactly what it is and will give it the boot quickly. Much more quickly and with much less issue than if they hadn't been vaccinated.


    What we know is that if you are vaccinated, with any of the vaccines you are -


    - Much less likely to catch it
    - Much less likely to transmit it
    - If you do "get" it your symptoms will be much milder than otherwise
    - You are almost guaranteed not to die from ti
    - You are almost guaranteed not to end up in hospital from it

    So Luke O'Neill is just making up stuff on live national radio recently?

    NIAC has changed their attitude coincidently also in last few weeks in relation to AZ.

    Young people are also willing to take them in todays poll.

    Nobody has died of AZ in ireland despite over a million doses given out?


    Keep looking for very deadly trends were there is none.

    Sure we could all do that if we wanted to.

    So I take it people who have recently had Covid can go to a chemist and waste a one dose vaccine on themselves because there is no system in place to check someone's prior Covid status?

    Well done. Another great day for the lads.

    Any idea whether the Covid pub pass will work if you have previously had Covid, or whether it will require Covid plus at least one vaccine?

    No offer was ever actually made. A bogus story appeared in one of the UK Sundays that they were going to offer 3m AZ doses to the Republic, but this was immediately dismissed as nonsensical (and it was pointed out that Britain was struggling to get its hands on vaccines for even its own population at that point).

    There's no proof.
    Happywednesday is arguing that Ireland should have broken from the EU vaccine plan same as the UK.

    Happily ignoring that;
    A: the UK has a major vaccine manufacturer in its territory.
    B: The UK paid more per vaccine than EU countries.
    C: the UK rollout was very high risk, but fortunately paid off.
    D: At the end of the day, we'll all get to herd immunity at roughly the same time.

    There seems to be very little discussion on myocarditis.here in Ireland.

    Got first dose of Pfizer , for men under 40 this seems be emerging as biggest risk of mRNA vaccine

    Beginning to think j&j will become the leading vaccine next year.

    It was never going to materialise when Ireland said the month previous that if the UK did offer any vaccine, they wouldn't take it as the EU program would suffice...

    Irish government then proceed to say they knew nothing of a vaccine offer

    Brexit jingoism, yes.... why not call their bluff? Ireland win in both cases

    There were reports too that Ireland were offered Moderna from Hungary which was also refused and Germany and Denmark sweeped up... over 500,000 doses

    I'm obviously in a government loving circle jerk, so I'll leave you neckbeards to **** over your pictures of Leo and enjoy the extended lockdown measures

    Unlikely to rear its head in a big way until you vaccinate males under 25's with MRNA's.

    Thats what happened in Israel and then USA.

    Is a risk factor for mostly very young males.

    Alot of young people want J&J.

    One and your done.

    Covid risk very small to begin with

    D: At the end of the day, we'll all get to herd immunity at roughly the same time.

    England is fully reopening on July 19th.

    Nobody in government or NPHET has specifically said that Irish society actually will fully re open when we have 80% vaccinated fully. There have been terms like "relative normality" but not a single public figure has stated that our old lives will return, not one.

    We are told this (80% vaccinated) should happen by late August to late September, but not one public figure has categorically stated that we will be in packed pubs and rammed nightclubs after this date. They are too fond of terms like the new normal and other scutter.

    The US has nowhere near this amount vaccinated and even left wing liberal states have all but fully re opened.

    England, which has far from 80% fully vaccinated, is pledging to have full pubs and nightclubs three weekends from now.

    The North is reviewing their own progress on July 8th.

    It is quite possible that on the coming August Bank Holiday weekend young people in Dundalk will at best be drinking in a beer garden but can hop in a taxi to go to a nightclub in Newry.

    It is absolutely comical at this stage and MM should be jailed and sued to the poor house over his inept handling of it.

    It was never going to materialise when Ireland said the month previous that if the UK did offer any vaccine, they wouldn't take it as the EU program would suffice...

    The UK came out and said they wouldn't have spare vaccine till September, it was nothing to do with Ireland not wanting any, UK had none spare (still don't).

    Unlikely to rear its head in a big way until you vaccinate males under 25's with MRNA's.

    Thats what happened in Israel and then USA.

    Is a risk factor for mostly very young males.

    Alot of young people want J&J.

    One and your done.

    Covid risk very small to begin with

    Yes this looks correct , if I was under 30 I'd be going for J&J.

    If I had option again I'd go for J&J myself. I'd take the blood clot risk over heart.

    Thing that concerns me on Pfizer is that they are making noises u need a 3rd dose n 12 months so will constantly taking this thing affect the heart.

    J&J has good protection against delta and looks to continue develop antibodies. Wouldn't be surprised if we all end up with it by next year , instead of getting mRNA every year.

    I'm into running/athletics.

    Athletes in UK complaining of side effects of MRNA (raised heart rate etc.). Nothing compared to covid itself I would think all the same.

    steeplechaser Aimee Pratt’s coach Linda - sounds like she’s been struggled a bit post-vaccine

    It really wasn't. Our lot would gladly tank the country before going cap in hand to London admitting that Brexit Britain was a roaring success.

    The anti Brexit sentiment of our government and members of our public is a national embarrassment.

    Have you any proof at all that vaccines were available from the UK before September and turned down? As that's what you're trying to deny here.

    I assume all vaccine data is linked to PPS right?

    Surely? First thing I was asked to do at GP surgery by the nurse was confirm my PPS and same with the Wife

    This and J&J are the game changers big time! Our freedom day is within our grasp!

    Yeah I did too but I'm just wondering if what the GPs are using is linked to a HSE database or whether they just send in completed doses at the end of the week.

    Not saying they were. Saying that if the UK had happened to have a surplus we wouldn't have taken it so as not to embarrass our useless leaders in Brussels.

    Micheal Martin effectively weaseled out of that question last Feb or thereabouts. As if we would ever put the national interest ahead of Brussels.
