AIBU?
To think that women under 50 should not have any adenovirus vaccines
maddening · 13/04/2021 22:22
Based on the AZ and Jansen issues and the highest percentage of cases being in women under 50.
At the moment they are just excluding under 30s but women in the 30-50 population seem to also be a higher risk.
Am I being unreasonable?

Women aged 30-50 make up a gigantic proportion of healthcare workers / key workers though. The risks of vaccination compared to covid itself are infinitesimal. No one said vaccination would be risk free but as someone who has experienced both covid-19 and the AZ vac, I know which I prefer.

Your maths is totally screwed.
A 20 year old slim woman has a totally different risk to that of a 80 year old overweight man.
You can’t just divide the 70 million population like that!
We don’t know the risk of these vaccines because we don’t have the figures for how many women under 50 have had these vaccines! Until we know how many women under 50 have has the AZ versus how many women under 50 have had these problems, you can’t do the maths or work out the risk!
Every country has different figures for this because they have vaccinated different ages first!
