The mainstream media has reported 5 or so deaths out of the 17,000,000 people who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine. This was the lead story in today's NY Times, so I guess they are publicizing it. They have not figured out what actually caused the deaths, with such small numbers--less than 1 in 3,000,000 people, it's too early to know. Also, of course, this is a small fraction of the number of those 17,000,000 we might have expected to die from covid without a vaccine.
The AstraZeneca vaccine is not approved in the USA. If people get shots here, they are getting Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J--vaccines that have incredibly good records on safety and effectiveness. Our FDA is typically the world's toughest, and this has saved Americans in the past.
