Sorry - trolley problem, pull the lever to kill one person and save 3 others, that kind of metaphor.

In the EU, there are alternatives (e.g. in my country I could actually register to Moderna and due to the shorter time between shots I'd actually be completely vaccinated faster with Moderna than with AZ).
Look, I'm not saying AZ should be killed either. Just that in my mind, precaution is justified. Symptoms are bizarre, affected people are young with no other obvious reasons to be affected. Also read what this guy says: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26473368
Again, I'm not saying "AZ=bad". I'm saying precaution is reasonable, and the view that precautions states are "obviously wrong" and should just plough through with vaccination using AZ is a bit simplistic and less informed than people would care to admit.
