Husband of Lisa Shaw (BBC presenter who died after AZ vaccine) says people should be offered an alternative vaccine

I saw this on the BBC and thought some of you might be interested.

I should say, it's quite upsetting seeing his grief so raw.

I also personally found it upsetting as I'm a little younger than her and got my jab around about the same time, before it was banned in my age group. It was really shocking when shortly after my jab, other countires started banning it in under 60s and the deaths started being reported. To me, it really highlights that this vaccine shouldn't be being used until we know what's causing these clots. There are alternative vaccines.

I am very pro vaccine, by the way, and am double jabbed, but it was a horrible experience, I'm still in the risk period for the second and finding it hard, and I hate that first time around I unwittingly had something that could have taken my life and caused my family the pain this poor man is going through when Covid isn't a big risk for my age group at all.

I agree with him. Though think our gp is vaxxing older with pfizer too. But probably not anyone on jab 2 after az.
The maths saying in favour of az is flswed especially when pfizer seems ro work better too.
We just dknt have enough - other gov screw up which is also why kids arent being offered it

The age limit should have been much higher for AZ, as it is in most other countries.

Notable in today’s MHRA yellow card summary also that:

Up to and including the 7 July 2021, the MHRA has received 344 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome with the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca and 20 reports of a related disease called Miller Fisher syndrome. Up to the same date, the MHRA has received 41 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome following use of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and for the COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna there have been 2 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

The MHRA is reviewing these cases to assess whether there is an increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with COVID-19 vaccines, with independent advice from its Vaccine Benefit-Risk Expert Working Group.

344 cases of GBS is a lot.

That’s very sad. Seems like while we were all on the lookout for clots AZ was causing other problems too. An almost tenfold increase in risk compared to Pfizer is significant.
