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.
No bro, you missed my point. It's not about how "unlikely" it is to get the thrombosis. That's what everyone who wants people to take AZ have been saying. What I'm saying is just waving it off as "unlikely" is not all they can do, is it? If they genuinely have a desire to get more people to take it up, the best possible way to do that is to show some effort in trying to mitigate the risk, not just telling people off that it's "not likely" to happen. There must be a way they can help mitigate the risk if they can cure it when you get it.

Did you take the AZ Vax, btw?
