Perhaps experts publicly sharing their takes on AZ #CovidVaccine can consider a DM group chat. Remember your discourse on this public platform is open to everyone incl. non-experts who are fearful, confused & now feeling betrayed.
To the non-expert public a 🧵for you ⤵️ #COVID19 1) If you're feeling conflicted & having doubts/regrets re: taking the AZ #CovidVaccine esp. after a few comms failures & public expert discourse,
Please read 🧵⤵️, it will help explain what you're seeing & not take it as final word: h/t @thekimgauthier

I'm understandably still receiving Qs from concerned & worried people about the clotting events observed in #AstraZeneca #CovidVaccine (& J&J recently in the US).

I'm in meetings for most of the day & resurfaced to even more stupid decisions? #onpoli
What is this crap re: blaming people for complacency, hard hit communities for not knowing to book vaccine appts in this convoluted mess & MORE police presence? THIS AIN'T IT! #COVID19ON We all feel the same. STUPID DECISION MAKING.
MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. LIKE THE ONES THE EXPERTS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR EONS...YOU KNOW... LIKE #PaidSickDays and STOP FINGER POINTING FOR POOR #COVID19Vaccine logistics and GIVE essential workers Vaccines!
