Why would the govt run media campaigns to scare people in taking the AZ vaccine? News articles are only giving the facts, and to be honest it's not doing a good job since it's about someone DYING from the vaccine (earlier on they gave no medical history of older patients dying)
Take the AZ vaccine if that's all you can get. The risk of having it vs the risk of catching delta is much much lower.
Just remember that viral load in an infected person (who isn't vaccinated) is the same as the viral load of an infected person who IS vaccinated. Atleast with blood clots you can get treatment for it, whereas catching delta is a more of a danger to yourself and to loved ones who you see.
I literally don't understand the fear surrounding blood clots with AZ, heck there's an inherent risk of getting rabies from a rabies vaccination, though you're encouraged to take it if you go to an area that has cases of rabies.
Delta is different, you need only one cough or one instance to get it.
