The original downvoted poster made several points, which at the time of reading all seem correct.

Covid vaccines have different risk based on sex and age. The blood clot risk of the AZ vaccine was similar to the ICU risk from Covid for under 40s. The Moderna vaccine caused heart problems for young males.

Both of these issues were downplayed by politicians and officials, but the public health system eventually worked and AZ was discarded while young males were switched to Biontech.

With ideological purges done by the fake, ideological left, which is still in power in the western EU, it’s not clear that we won’t have nonsense policies in the future, such as dictating that BLM protests are fine during Covid while everyone else must stay indoors.
