Coronavirus (2021) thread

Do we think there's been any nefarious influence on the reliability of the AZ vaccine (a cheap vaccine) that's harmed its image long term or is this merely a blip and we'll now see a huge rush for the AZ vaccine across the world now the EMA too have passed it (post clot concerns...)?

More importantly, down week on week (which is fairer barometer now we're doing loads more testing) and even more importantly... look at that drop in deaths. Nearly 50%. Ace.

The tests are the key here - so many more added to a new record high.

Why on Earth do they not report a meaningful positivity number like everyone else as few will realise either the week to week or that a few hundred extra cases come from more tests added on since yesterday than used to be common as the entire UK total in one day.

Cases always rise in mid week - like reported deaths do - as the weekend lull is replaced.

They will fall again after tomorrow for a few days as tests will drop.

There has allegedly been a Russian disinformation campaign.

EMA agree too...

AstraZeneca vaccine is 'safe and effective' and benefits outweigh any risks, says EMA​

EMA chief Emer Cooke says the committee has ruled “this is a safe and effective vaccine” and the benefits outweigh any possible risks. The jab is not associated with an increase in the overall risk of thromboembolic events or blood clots, she adds.

This is great news, the alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

Any linkies...not that this will be watertight proof!

There were rumours Russian bots 'infiltrated' qanon spreading daft anti vaxx nonsense too.

What a world huh!

Side note, Prof Brian Cox was on the radio earlier enthusing about the vaccinations. He was apparently on a panel (and he's keen to advise this is not his field) that stated this new research has advanced vaccinations by ten years and are could potentially be used for certain cancers (that's been mentioned on here before).

Bit odd but fitting. Are we getting to a stage with Covid where we don't need to report deaths every day? How many people died of heart attacks or cancer today. less than 100 is getting to a very negligible number. 50% over 80 sad as it is?
