Thanks to EU for alerting us to findings

CAN we now hope the ignorant rhetoric expressed by some writers to this newspaper will now quieten their rant about our neighbours in the European Union, whose research findings on the after effects of the British AZ vaccination appears to have caused them emotional and political apoplexy.

Comments like: “It was only one in a million who might be subjected to this blood clotting... that will kill.”

And implying it was a waste of time and money to find out that such a rare incidence of severe side effects... so far... can happen.

That stopping the use of the British AZ vaccine was nothing but an attempt by the Bruxelles dictatorship mob to do something nasty to us nice, kind English.

Have we not just been warned about the use of certain painkillers, as I was warned against the use of Ibuprofen at my age, of 80-plus.

Are we so 100% certain that the possible after/side effects of our excellent vaccine are finished?

Do we know yet where “long Covid” will take us? Whether it is three people, or nine people, or 79, or 1,009 people out of a million who die of a blood clot, when does it start to matter?

To the relatives of just one – a mother, father, husband, sister, or brothers of that one in a million it matters, for it was the most dreadful, painful, cataclysmic event of their lives.

Just a slight adjustment to vaccination procedures for females under 30 who are taking the pill lessens the risk, and can save lives.

Just like looking both ways when you cross the road – and we spend millions every year to make sure our children cross safely, saving lives, so it’s not some dreadful statistic of road slaughter or the death of a young girl from a blood clot, perhaps barely out of her teen years.

It would be pleasing to read those abject unqualified apologies published in this newspaper, together with their sincere thanks to the medical authorities in Europe for alerting us to their findings; something the British medical authorities have already done.

You can then go back to fighting the fish wars.
