Just wondering: Are all three approved vaccines still considered 100% effective against serious illness? If not, any difference probably outweighs the blood clot risk.

How convenient! |
Source material for the herd immunity claim - lots of caveats...

Much like long-term weather forecasts, the ensuing predictions should not be taken too seriously because there is an inherent (although quantified) uncertainty about underlying epidemiological and socio-behavioural variables.

The current estimates of the herd immunity threshold show that it has risen substantially since last July and is predicted to fall again during the spring. Clearly, there is a substantial amount of uncertainty about these long-term forecasts — as indicated by the wide credible intervals. Part of this uncertainty is due to the fluctuations in transmission risk and mobility.

I guess you could also call me an expert in 'not believing everything an expert says', although I've never published any papers on it  |
Sorry to hear you’ve got a duff medic - never good.
Can’t you change doctor/practice?
