The cerebral thrombose side effect that led to the vaccination stops across europe doesn't seem to be occuring in the UK though, which makes everyone wonder what you are doing differently.

Well, the side effects seem to be very, very rare, so we might just not be noticing. I've just read through a very dense article in the Lancet (linked below), whose conclusions appear to be that there... possibly... are some blood clotting side effects associated with the vaccine but the particular conditions are so rare anyway that it's very difficult to attribute any link.

We are, however, aware that although a substantial fraction of the thromboembolisms seem to be venous, reports are emerging of rare types of multiple thrombosis, bleeding, and thrombocytopenia, apparently similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation, occurring in otherwise healthy individuals shortly after receiving the Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.13 These outcomes are not included in the present analysis.

Yeah, it's definitely a strange one. We have 16 cases already in Germany (compared to the 5 in the UK that pidan mentioned) in a much smaller AZ recipient group. I don't think anyone here would disagree that the benefits still greatly outweigh the risk. That's also the official standpoint of EMA, so all these limitations are supposed to be only temporary until there is a clearer picture of what is going on. It's not like it even matters. Demand for the vaccine outstrips supply so much that we still use all the AZ doses that we can get. It's just that they are going to old people instead of oliwan.

I mean, one of the problems seems to be, at least here in Berlin, that people are refusing to take AZ, either by not showing up to AZ Termin or choosing something else.

I posted this before, but I could choose which type of vaccine I wanted, and the waiting list was like 3 days for AZ, 3-4 weeks for the rest. If you login now, the first non-AZ termine are at the end of May.

Do you know if non-teachers (or any people from group two besides the fast forwarded public employees) still get a choice? Because I seem to remember something about Berlin wanting to curb people being able to pick their vaccine either directly or indirectly.

someone posted on their insta that they had an AZ termin for Sunday and it got switched over to Biontech. They're young but AFAIK only contact persons of an at-risk person, no teacher or Pfleger*in. A few others have also posted that they're getting something else instead of AZ. Seems they're either juggling doses around or freeing up reserves.

I think they also recently decided to make the dose intervals longer (after it worked out well in Britain), so maybe there's more first doses available because of that.

Of course, at this point I fully expect them to mishandle the inventory and not actually have second doses available on schedule.

I found some stuff near my work that has 12%. It's really tasty! Though you can't eat much of it, 2-3 of the things at once make my tongue numb, and I think at roughly half a bottle, you start to get Durchfall. But as long as you slowly keep eating only a handful each day, it's a real experience.

Yeah but I think this is mostly anecdotal. Zeit has a good overview of how much doses of which vaccine has been received and how much verimpft and AZ is roughly on par with Biontech. There is just so much demand right now that they have no trouble finding someone who will take it. Might be a problem later though if there aren't as much Impfwillige left.

Obviously if you give people the choice between Biontech and AZ, Biontech is gonna be in much shorter supply since it's an objectively much better choice.

It's called Lakritz Sturmwarnung Stärke 12: Orkan. Also I have to correct myself, it only has 8% Ammoniumchlorid, oops! Still tasty.

(And if that's still too much, the same company also sells "Schwerer Sturm" with 6% and "Frische Brise" with 4%)

I found this at Famila, but apparently you can also order over the Internet:

Ebay, for example


Edit:

I looked this up and apparently, it's not even allowed to sell food with more than 8% AC in it. Huh. Did not know that, or that you need to beantrag a special exemption for all candy with more than 2% Ammoniumchlorid.

That doesn't show how much percent of each Impfstoff has been verimpft though. But yeah, according to Zeit/RKI, Berlin is third worst in Germany at using AstraZeneca with only 65% having been used up. Best one is Thüringen with 86%, which is higher than any other Impfstoff.

German average is is 72% AZ versus 82% Biontech. Moderna is at 36%(dunno what's going on there, they started deliveries at the same time as AZ. must be all those anti-antlantiker? :thunk:)

Moderna basically delivered nothing, so that number is little more than white noise.

Also, the federal government suggests to keep a higher percentage of the Moderna vaccine in store for the second dose. (50% versus 25%) Make sense, since those deliveries are very feeble and it might well be impossible to give the second doses otherwise. It is rather likely that the USA would suddenly stop those meager scraps of Moderna, after the reservoirs are emptied.

Wasn't the gap between AZ1 and 2 something comical like 12 weeks? So if you wait three weeks for Pfizer you'd still be done slightly earlier?
