Who Do You Think Is Behind The Tide Of COVID19 Misinformation?
This appeared last week in Australia: ‘I was afraid I was going to die’: Misinformation fuels vaccine hesitancy By Jewel Topsfield October 5, 2021 — 5.00am Margaret Thanos was so overwhelmed by what she had read online about whether it was safe for young people her age to get the AstraZeneca vaccine she found herself sobbing outsi de the chemist on the day of her injection. “The fear from what I had heard and online misinformation meant I was afraid I was going to die even though statistically it’s so unlikely,” says Ms Thanos, a 21-year-old artist, who is now fully vaccinated.

Fear of vaccines grows with the need for medical ethics
We recently received the news that a patient had died during the night from mysterious clots related to the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine (OAZv). This tragic news came shortly after the U.K. revised its vaccination policy to restrict the use of the OAZv in younger adults and many countries paused the rollout of the Johnson& Johnson vaccine, concerned […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

I Am Sure The Technology Investments In Many States Are Paying Off In This Search!
This appeared last week: NSW hospitals hunt for rare blood clots linked to AstraZeneca vaccine By Kate Aubusson April 8, 2021 — 5.00am NSW emergency departments are scouring medical records for blood clot cases linked to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine as international medicines regulators inch closer to declaring the vaccine may cause the extremely rare condition. The state’s vaccinators are warning anyone receiving the AstraZeneca shot to be on alert for blood clot symptoms as a precaution following the case of a 44-year-old man hospitalised with a severe and extremely rare clotting disorder in Melbourne on Friday. ...

Basic info on the J & J vaccine kerfuffle
I ' ve seen a lot of chatter to the effect that the FDA/CDC advise to pause administration of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is ignorant, counterproductive, foolish and contrary to the public interest. The same reaction followed when many countries in the EU halted administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine, accusing the authorities of succumbing to thepost hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy. Well no. There is a legitimate debate about whether this was an overreaction, I suppose, but it isn ' t simple.Here ' s a good summary of the issues. It isn ' t as simple as saying there have been six cases of the adverse effect --cerebral...

Blocking J & J and AstraZeneca Vaccines Shows the FDA Has Not Changed Its Stripes
Michael F. CannonThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration is recommending the federal government and state governments stop administering Johnson& Johnson’s Covid‐19 vaccine. Some 7 million Americans have received the vaccine, whose regimen requires only one dose. The FDA issued the recommendation afterreports that six women between the ages of 18 and 48 developed blood clots after taking the vaccine. One of the women is in a hospital in critical condition. Another died. While the FDA’s recommendation is merely advisory, it is likely to halt vaccinations at federal facilities. Statesincluding Ohio, New York, andC...

American Industrial Policy in Action
Scott LincicomeIn case you haven't noticed, U.S. industrial policy is having (yet another) moment. Armed with the latest data and cross-country comparisons, a large and bipartisan cadre of industrial policy advocates in Washington are eager to shovel billions of taxpayer dollars into the open arms of American manufacturers of "essential goods" and "critical technologies." The risks (China, pandemics, whatever), so the theory goes, greatly outweigh any harms that a few, scattered industrial policy failures might cause along the way, so whynot just throw money at the (perceived) problems? These advocates, however, rarely ack...

COVID vaccination
Being of a certain age I recently had a (national NHS, I think) letter inviting me to book my COVID vaccination. I booked both jabs online and went today for the first one. For the historical record, here is what happened.I went to the Sheffield Arena. It was signposted on the approach as an NHS Vaccination Centre and there were security staff (I suspect a company that usually work at gigs) at the entrance to direct you to the car park and tell you where to go next.Then to a desk where I put on a new face covering (and had it pointed out to me that I had it on inside out!) and sanitised my...

Why Is Alex Tabarrok Right?
Ryan BourneIn theNew York Times today,columnist Ezra Klein asks himself “Is Alex Tabarrok right? Are people dying because our coronavirus response is far too conservative?” The answer is “yes.”By “too conservative,” Klein really means “not permissive enough on medical innovation.” Tabarrok’s crusade, that Klein is now clearly sympathetic to, has focused on the idea that the U.S. regulatory state’s barriers to various forms of testing, unwillingness to adopt “first doses first” on vaccines, and failure to green‐light human challenge trials, have all had extraordinary social costs, through result...

AstaZeneca ’s Vaccine Ethical Problem
Brian M. Cummings, MD and John J. Paris, SJ, PhD
In The New York Times, almost overlooked amidst multiple articles on Covid-19 published that day, we found a challenging essay by Max Fisher entitled, “Europe’s Vaccine Ethics Call: Do No Harm and Let More Die”? Fisher inquires whether clinical bioethics should accept the decision of Germany to suspend the use of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine due to blood clots because of what bioethicists label “The Trolley Problem”.
The ‘ Trolley Problem’ is a thought experiment designed to describe a decision-making pr...
