A good article for AMA Media would be an Aus version of this The BMJ article. bmj.com/content/372/bm… I suspect @GregHuntMP hadn’t seen Contagion, unlike his UK counterpart. It could explain Aus’s late start ordering vaccines.

Deja vu. It's Thursday, the MHRA release the AZ vaccine safety data, the VITT case number is now 242 and still no data on the rate of VITT by age. As VITT is strongly age related it's not acceptable to just give the overall rate which is now 1 in 95,000 tinyurl.com/8f88ckxs

I'm delighted to see the announcement of a licensing agreement between Australian biotech Havah Therapeutics & US company Clarus Therapeutics, which, if regulatory approved, will lead to the first of its kind treatment for inflammatory breast disease. finance.yahoo.com/news/clarus-th…

This points to the need for Australia (with its low vaccination rate) to ease restrictions for the vaccinated - vaccine passports. Otherwise part of the benefit of vaccines discussed in this excellent thread will be lost with time.
