Excellent point. One thing I notice in the discussion about AZ is the fact that the risk for thrombosis is not really put into context. One very strong comparison is this: when taking a 6-hour flight the risk for thrombosis is about 5 times higher than the risk currently associated with the AZ-vaccination (ref. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17351849/). Still most of us will happily board a plane once this is possible again. I'm not saying we shouldn't be critical about side-effects associated with the AZ-vaccine, I'm just missing a bit of context.
