Because there is a reason to be cautious - there have been serious reactions that might be as a consequence of vaccination.So why all the fuss?
With any luck, this could be the last week with any excess mortality of this current wave. For the last week it was only 2% higher than historical average, down from 8% the week previous.
Data also shows that 50,400 of the total 111,200 (that's almost a very satisfying number!) excess deaths came in the second wave.

The website has now been updated to say so.The website hasn't been updated but apparently it lets you book a vaccine if you are over 50 now.
Wakefield published in 1998 - so it would be reasonable to assume that his influence would have been strongest on those in their late Teens, 20's and early 30's . That's the cohort we can expect to come through next.
A brief survey of my own "vaccine interactions" would seem to support this view. Nobody under 40 has even mentioned the subject. The bulk of objectors I've had to deal with are in their 40s. There is one who is mid-60s, but he's so bonkers that he hardly counts, not even believing that the virus exists. Nobody over 65 has raised the safety issue, either.On the contrary, Millennials and Gen Z are far more likely to question an authority and think critically as we’ve had a lifetime of being lied to and the media and such never really earned our trust, the anti-vaccine movement is more prevalent among the Gen X and Boomer generations.

Because those over 50 are getting done earlier than originally intended it's not going to cause massive delays is it?
They could do with signing off the Novax one...
