THREAD: The #Covid19 vaccines 💉💉that have been authorized in Western countries come with some safety concerns and side effects — like all new drugs.

Here's what you need to know about allergic reactions to the shots 👇
trib.al/qaLxXdt
As many as 10 people have had a serious allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis, to the vaccines.

It's the runaway inflammation and swelling of tissues. As much as 5% of people in the U.S. have had such a reaction to various substances trib.al/qaLxXdt
2 people in the U.K., 6 people in the U.S. and a man in Israel who took the Pfizer/BioNTech shot had it. Also, a physician in Boston who took the Moderna vaccine suffered an allergic reaction.

None have resulted in death trib.al/qaLxXdt

LIVE Q&A THREAD: We asked our followers to send us their biggest #Election2020 questions. Bloomberg QuickTake reporter @MadisonMills22 is taking over the account to answer them all below 👇
Can polls be wrong?

@MadisonMills22: Yes, but they’re likely to be better this time than in 2016. In 2016, national polls weren’t far off, but state polls failed to anticipate a spike in turnout from non-college-educated voters who came out in droves for Trump.
How long will results take? (pt. 1)

@MadisonMills22: Unclear! If either candidate wins an unexpected state with tons of electoral votes, like Biden wins Texas or Florida, they may declare victory.
