Relevant twitter thread by Kai Kupferschmidt, a science journalist, whose top-notch coverage of COVID-19 related topics, I have come to appreciate during this pandemic.
Key points:
- This paper tells little about the AstraZeneca vaccine, which seems to have a much higher risk of CVST than the mRNA vaccines.
Actual quote from press conference: "I think our data say actually nothing about the AZ vaccine."
- The number of CVSTs for mRNA vaccines are surprising and very different from the ones presented by ACIP yesterday.
