CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

Its funny.

From a neutral standpoint all I see is people having their confirmation bias confirmed (yep, even suspension of the vaccine might fall into that category) BUT, the one crucial difference, is just like we shut down society because we had a virus we didnt know fully about, we have anecdotal reports coming from overseas, that this vaccine is problematic, with one crucial difference.

The people saying the vaccine is fine and it correlation not causation, are the same ones happy with the lockdown approach because it will stop the spread and save lives.  This seems to be a juxtaposition to me from what I can see, because although the motivation is driven similarly the action is actually polls apart with one being a cautious approach, and the other being about haste and no regard for any potential safety concerns.

The only safe move is to proceed cautiously on both virus and vaccine and take a front row seat on how its working out elsewhere to determine the most APPROPRIATE course of action with the knowledge that we will be safe or safe enough either way.

I am most interested in seeing whether or not the vaccine actually does anything to stem the number of deaths, and positive tests in line with numbers being tested rather than anything else.

17 million Astrazeneca jabs and what, 30 odd cases of varied forms of blood clots? As one in a thousand people suffer blood clots each year, it follows that the vaccine stops blood clots.  Or is that confusing causal with coincidental?

By the way, world COVID infection rates dropped for the first time in February.  Lockdowns, vaccinations, a combination of both, or coincidence?

  Perhaps it simply is correlation with the end of winter in the northern hemisphere.  Lets not confuse correlation with causation shall we?
