A friend of a friend works plain clothes loss prevention part time at Canadian tire, which is not usually a profession I respect, but he got to tackle and arrest an anti-masker the other day and it sounds like it was a very fun experience.

I worked at MEC for a summer (bullshit job, they almost only hire temp workers and don't give pro deals to staff anymore unless you are not a temp worker, which nobody is, also gently caress MEC they owe me $5) and a plainclothes loss prevention guy would always point at who he was following around the store and give me a nod and a thumbs up for some reason

I got to watch a kayak girl kill a mouse with her shoe and listened to Boner City USA in my headphones while stocking shelves though, so who is to say whether or not the MEC job was good

For those more knowledgeable than I about the vaccines, was the issue with rare bloodclots in the astrazenica recipients strictly women who suffered that side effect, or was it both men and women? My wife is hesitant to get the AZ vaccine but I'm wanting to get the shot asap and just wanted to know if that was something we should watch out for once it becomes available and I get the jab.

Women are more likely to get it, but it can also happen to men. It doesn't seem to be related to the birth control pill.

My wife is hesitant to get the AZ vaccine but I'm wanting to get the shot asap and just wanted to know if that was something we should watch out for once it becomes available and I get the jab. Page 13 of this UK report: https://assets.publishing.service.g...ng_21.04.21.pdf quote:Up to 21 April 2021, the MHRA had received Yellow Card reports of 209 cases of major thromboembolic events (blood clots) with concurrent thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in the UK following vaccination with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca. These events occurred in 120 women and 89 men aged from 18 to 93 years and the overall case fatality rate was 19% with 41 deaths. Four cases have been reported after a second dose. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis was reported in 84 cases (average age 47 years) and 123 had other major thromboembolic events (average age 55 years) with concurrent thrombocytopenia. Diagnosis was unclear in the remaining two cases. The estimated number of first doses of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca administered in the UK by 21 April was 22 million giving an overall case incidence of 9.3 per million doses. The data suggest there is a higher incidence reported in the younger adult age groups and the MHRA advises that this evolving evidence should be taken into account when considering the use of the vaccine. These reports have also been analysed by the Government’s independent advisory body, the COVID-19 Vaccines Benefit Risk Expert Working Group, which includes lay representatives and advice from leading haematologists. The UK has administered 22 million doses of AZ and recorded 209 cases of blood clots, or less than 1 in 100,000 shots. Of those 1 in 100,000 people (which included both men and women, though more women than men), 1 in 5 died, giving the vaccine a CFR of 1 in 500,000. If you're in your 30s, you have probably between a 0.1 and 0.3% chance of dying if you contract Covid, and that's not including the risk of permanent organ damage, long Covid, etc. So, on average, 1 in 1000 to 3 in 1000 people in their 30s who get Covid will die from it. That's one way to put the risk of a half-a-million-to-one chance of death from the AZ vaccine into context. If you're older than your 30s, the numbers just get worse and the math in favour of the AZ vaccine gets better. From page 6 of that PDF: quote:The MHRA recently confirmed that the evidence to date does not suggest that the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca causes venous thromboembolism without a low platelet count. Anyone who experiences any of the following from around 4 days after vaccination you should seek medical advice urgently: Keep an eye out for those symptoms and see a doctor immediately if either of you feel them, but that is an extremely remote possibility and the risks of Covid far outweigh the risks of vaccination even in most young people, especially given that Canada is handling Covid badly and infections are spreading through younger populations now. The one instance where I would tell you to hold off is if you have already medically established that one of you has a low blood platelet count, but that seems unlikely.

Its fun because birth control pills are what, 1000x more likely to cause clotting issues? But there's no panic about them.

Fashionable Jorts posted:Its fun because birth control pills are what, 1000x more likely to cause clotting issues? But there's no panic about them. The risk of dying from birth control pill caused blood clots is about 1 in 200,000. Prevalence around 50 in 100k, so overall they get treated very successfully. The twitter thread above states that initially roughly 40% of the 1 in 50-100k with AZ clots were dying, now down to approx. 20% because people are monitoring much more closely. So AZ risk of fatal complications was greater than birth control pills but is now roughly comparable. Both exceedingly unlikely, the main hesitancy argument boiled down to "but if you can get the 'better' mRNA shot soon anyway..."

Ahh, I hadn't heard that the numbers went down, but I guess that makes sense. Now that people are aware of the complications, its easier to watch out for them. bedpan posted:i don't know why all of you are bringing birth control pills into the discussion. no one would gently caress you birth control or not i know you're probably joking, but a lot of people go on birth control for reasons other than fuckin'

I thought the issue was that it caused a different kind of clot that was a lot harder to treat? No, I have no proof other than, "I heard it somewhere." why do you ask?

odiv posted:I thought the issue was that it caused a different kind of clot that was a lot harder to treat? Yeah. Not all clots are the same. The kind that Az causes is quite rare and much more likely to be fatal than the type of clot caused by birth control. And the birth control pill is not a great analogy. Yes people take it. And yes the risk burden is way to high for what it is. We don't really care very much about women's health in this country. Pointing to other ways women take on a disproportionate burden in our society isn't exactly the pro-vaccine argument people think it is.

Anybody 30+ can get the AZ vaccine in BC now, if you can find a pharmacy that still has supply. London Drugs in North Vancouver has a bunch of opening still. bvj191jgl7bBsqF5m has issued a correction as of 15:11 on Apr 30, 2021 |

I'm trying places in North Vancouver Supply is pretty constrained, and you may end up getting your poke faster through the provincial system (but try your luck anyways). I've been heartened by the popularity of the pharmacy programs! Guildford in Surrey and shoppers in NVan had a bunch available this week. We don't be getting more AZ For a while but the province is getting a shitload of pfizer all through may, with moderna coming in mid-may!
