  1. It is a problem. Not only did they give the wrong dose; they also lumped together different trials with different parameters and sample sizes to produce their result. They didn't publish how they had arrived at their figures. And in the 1/2 dose group, they had hardly anyone over 55. Their findings had glaring methodological problems. https://www.wired.com/story/the-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-data-isnt-up-to-snuff/

  2.  @privateuser7  What can you do about crazy anti-vaxxers?

  3. It's getting the most scrutiny because the trials were sloppy, the press release disingenuous, and the vaccine less effective. https://www.wired.com/story/the-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-data-isnt-up-to-snuff/

  4. @z z mRNA vaccines appear to be safe. In fact, the Ox-AZ vaccine had worse side effects.

  5.  @mballer  Ivermectin has not been shown to be an effective treatment. Please don't put your faith in untested medications. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02958-2

  6.  @mballer  Low bar, and again, as stated in the Nature article I linked, there's not good data on Ivermectin's effectiveness in the first place. Multiple studies which initially touted its success were later retracted.

  9.  @mballer  Oh wow, nice quote mine. Here you forgot the next part: The news is encouraging, says Chaccour, who has been critical of ivermectin’s use in Latin America. But it’s not enough to give ivermectin wonder-drug status, he adds, particularly because Krolewiecki’s results have not yet been published, peer-reviewed or replicated. Krolewiecki agrees. “It is a bit reckless for someone to say, from the studies we have completed, that we should prescribe this drug,” he says." Again: "Krolewiecki’s results have not yet been published, peer-reviewed or replicated." "It is a bit reckless for someone to say, from the studies we have completed, that we should prescribe this drug."

  10.  @mattinthehat22  You don't trust a vaccine because you saw a Hollywood movie about apocalyptic vampires?

  11.  @crusindc5282  Accidental can mean wrong when you're comparing different sets of variables and samples as if they're the same, which is what AstraZeneca did. Their data could just as well be noise.

  12.  @Dildobagginses  The degree of ascientific irrationality in this country is astounding.
