GTC...They dont reduce the effects to zero and if you are on the heavy duty variety like the old rat poison (warfarin) you find you are still able to get clots via interaction with other drugs, food and other underlying conditions.
Like I said only your own GP knows what you are on and as we know with a lot of older folk they take a cocktail of several drugs
which interact differently with each other. My mother in law took warferin, it was a nightmare to manage given her other conditions, dosage changed every week. You dont need a vaccine with possible clot effects adding to that, get one that is proven not to be a potential trigger ie maybe wait for the Novavax..
Are we actually checking people and working out what is the best vaccine to suit them or just randomly jabbing them with whats available?
Would you entertain a long haul flight after a couple of jabs of astrazeneca, you might not even know you are a potential clot candidate...?
As a note that may give you some confidence, EB1 Old Son, my father was on Warfarin for about 25 years. The initial stages were difficult as they ascertained the correct dosage for him considering his emphysema, heavy drinking (which he refused to stop) and he made it through to 86 (passed away on Christmas Day just gone). Had he looked after himself better, he'd have easily passed 90.
However, I, also, will be balking at Astra and I hope our govt doesn't favour cost over community risk and continues strong scrutiny of this particular vaccine, especially when there are others which are not reporting anything other than minor reactions - which are to be expected as the immune system identifies, fights and adjusts to its job of tackling Covid should it enter the body.
