Derek did a good job on this issue, both warning it would happen before and re-emphasizing that it's most likely statistical anomaly. Even if the blood clots were a result of the AZ vaccine, it would still make more sense for most people to take the vaccine (I would), so a ban is entirely unjustified.

Governments banning their citizens from taking Astrazeneca should use accurate language "it's banned" instead of the language "pause rollout".

Taking a COVID vaccine is a choice individuals make and governments have denied them during a pandemic.

Pausing is exactly what is happening here in Norway. And the government is not involved, all these decisions her in Norway have been made by the relevant medical institutions.

I guess I'll take my 2.35e-6 chance (40 in 17M) to get blood clots over a 1.6e-3 chance to contact covid (4‰ infection rate) and die from it (4% mortality rate).
