Tell me about it I just got an e-mail canceling my appointment for next week. Annoyed
Over a year later and they’re interviewing an expert with a countering opinion. SMFH
Rare? By their own statistics that would mean there have been roughly 14,500 in Ontario (1.7% of the 853,000 AZ given in Ontario)..that’s a little more than 7.
Halying qhen unhave millions of ppl waiting in line. It seems they are dping this to make somrone happy.
I want mu 2nd shot of AZ asap!
Not a chance you stinky omegler
You’re playing Russian Roulette.
lol
@Stmicheal that would require a gun wheel that can hold 1 million rounds or you can pay russian roulette with a covid revolver and it’s gun wheel holds 200 rounds.
@Crazyman1212 the thing is nobody will know exactly how bad it is for quite some time, that’s the whole point. It’s just one worldwide experiment.
One Doctor’s option is not enough for me.
That’s correct, experts are a dime a dozen. In the end it’s just an opinion that fits.
I wouldn’t matter how many doctors, how much evidence there was, or if it came with a gold car. You’re uneducated and facts don’t matter to you.
@Pokarot you’re going to hate history, luckily you may still be alive to eat your words.
@Stmicheal Just stop kiddo, you’re a joke and we both know it.
@Pokarot you’re some kind of special, do you work hard at it…or are you just naturally dence.
Have you taken ASTRAZENECA then Doctor?
Nah he took the phizer
Nah he just had a stiff drink
He’s waiting for the results of the testing trials.
That is not the numbers they gave on the news.
Each to their own. You take it…I wont. It’s a rare clotting event until it’s your clot.
Russian Roulette
Especially when there are alternatives🙄
GFY AZ!!
Dr Nick is back! Hi everybody! Flip flop, flip flop………science? Rare clotting events…….Death rate of Covid .06% in Canada( based on current death categorize to Covid over 18 months), clotting events .02% ( based on 8 months data) why take the risk?
Your calculations are incorrect. In the Canadian context, the clotting event rate is 0.0004%, or 1 in 250,000.
Hey Doctor Nick!
They are rare until it’s you or a family member. What a dope.
Stop saying “rare” every single time! Suspicious and annoying!
Exactly
Whonis this expert ???
Wow finally an expert who has some thing that makes sense.
Odds of winning the lotto Max is 1 in 33million, if I buy a lottery ticket and win… Great, if I loose nothing changes. Chance of blood clot 1 in 60 thousand….. If you clot you probably will die. Mmmmmmm lottery odds seem way better and safer to me. Than again odds of getting killed in an auto accident is 1-1000, but not gonna stop driving. IDK anymore.
odds of getting killed in an auto accident is 1-1000,
need multiply with odds of getting in an auto accident
—-
“according to insurance companies that process claims for accidents, the average person is involved in approximately four accidents throughout the course of his or her life. The data suggests that these individuals experience an automobile accident once every 18 years, approximately”
These bozo in Quebec and Ontario had said these odds were the same.
Bot. You do *not* know chances of getting a blood clot.
Hey Doctor, putting my age, health and everything else aside what is my chances of dying from COVID 19?
That depends on your age, health and everything else.
covid .02%.. ill take my chances
Selling blood clots impressive Dr. impressive (RARE) so rare we have to spend months on talking about it and 16 countries band it but that’s not important!
Doctor !!! COME ON !!!
Lower than DYING of covid??
