The whole article is well worth reading, but I found the following particularly interesting :
AstraZeneca riskier than Pfizer?
AstraZeneca said its safety results for blood clotting conditions were “similar across other licensed COVID-19 vaccines”.
Professor Stephen Evans from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said the latest publicly available data showed there were 35 reported cases of thrombocytopenia (a low blood platelet disorder) out of 54,000 “yellow card” reports after nearly 10 million AstraZeneca vaccinations.
For the Pfizer vaccine there were 22 cases out of 33,000 reports and almost 11 million doses administered.
Prof Evans said: “It is clear that the proportion of reports for this bleeding disorder is not different in the two vaccines.”
