It has been reported recently that there is a link between the Astra Zeneca vaccine and blood clots in young women. The Guardian has reported that Marco Cavaleri, the EMA’s head of vaccines said ‘We can say it now, it is clear there is a link with the vaccine.....’ However Europe’s drug regulator has denied it has already established a causal connection between the AstraZeneca vaccine and a rare blood clotting syndrome.
I’m puzzled. The head of EMA says there’s a clear link, then it’s denied. What is going on?

We've finally had our first AZ vaccines - in our 60s so should have had it weeks ago.

Theres a section on the second attachment which splits vaccines by manufacturer, but you have to look at it by country. If you look at the proportion of second doses given overall then look at the percentage of AZ vaccine compared with the other types, it’s clear that millions of second dose AZ have been given.

Thanks will do.
