My personal view is people should stop being fucking sooks, harden the fuck up and give it a shot (pardon the pun) after all, adverse, fatal reactions happen with almost every drug. What I really don't get however is people I know who were quite happy to double-drop pingers from a completely unknown source at Summadayz or Rainbow Serpent are now getting their knickers in a twist over a benign jab in the arm.
Also, the whole Astra-Zeneca clotting issue reminds me of the big Deep Vein Thrombosis scare when everyone was panicking about long haul flights. A couple of scare stories in the paper and all of a sudden cunts were freaking out about flying from Melbourne to Sydney. Thankfully, that scare eventually subsided although I did take away a couple of important points from the medical advice at the time - blood clots can be avoided by getting up and moving around and drugs with an anti-coagulating side-effect such as aspirin or alcohol can help mitigate against said clotting.
With that in mind, if you're still worried about clots after the AZ job, I say follow the advice of VIC Premier Dan Andrews and "Get on the beers!"
