Unusual blood clots should be listed as "very rare" side effects of the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, Europe’s main drug regulator said Wednesday.

Emer Cooke, the executive director of the European Medicines Agency, said that the "benefits of the AstraZeneca overall outweigh the risks of side effects."

The vaccine has "proved to be highly effective," she said at a news briefing, adding that it prevented "severe disease and hospitalization and it is saving lives."

However, Cooke added that after a "very in-depth analysis," the regulator had "concluded that the reported cases of unusual blood clotting following vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine should be listed as possible side effects of the vaccine.""

Perhaps compared to doing nothing as Anthony Fauci's NIH suggests doing.

But what about when compared to the up to 99-100% success rates in treating even elderly and high-risk patients, that has been enjoyed by competent, compassionate, skilled clinicians ever since the pandemic began, through early treatment with hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin?
