These countries seem to be shooting themselves in the foot massively.
I was thinking this Ted, I'll see if there is any other information out there about this but at 1st glance it appears that there is no increased risk of blood clots over the normal population expectation. 1st I heard about it was the woman in the waiting area after my jab on Friday asking the volunteer helper why there wasn't more information being dished out to the patients about the risk, I had a look when I got home but have seen nothing beyond normal figures. If you consider that 11M plus in the UK have had the Oxford jab and there appear to be about 50 people worldwide with this it seems an incredibly low chance.
