NACI advice on ‘preferred vaccines’ for COVID-19 sparks confusion, anger

  1. Will Covid vaccine mixing be adopted as health policy? They use different delivery systems carrying the genetic instruction set to produce the same spike protein, ergo ongoing studies are evaluating clinical outcomes to determine if assumption is true.
  2. AZ vaccine to be made available for everyone over 40 years of age. Fear understandable with media reporting on extremely rare blood clots but not mentioning lives saved from vaccine. Risk of harm from Covid infection causing clots is far greater.
  3. Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine news is a press release not a study. No raw data to review, limited transparency, basic questions unanswered, 94 cases, and an overreaction focusing on the claim of 90% efficacy. Validated evidence required to justify the hype.
  4. Quebec proposes one Covid vaccine for those who were previously infected without any substantive evidence to support such a policy change.
