If the warnings about a vaccine are out there in the public realm and countries are discontinuing it's use, when does it become an individual's responsibility to inform themselves?
I don't think most of those who went to get vaccinated knew the risk to benefit ratio for all age groups and the side effects of each vaccine. Many of them were coerced, pressured, intimidated, and threaten with dismissal by their employers.
There is no informed consent in this case.
The campaign will do down in history as the greatest medical scandal.
Personally, I followed common sense and the basics in immunology. Having been infected and developed superior natural immunity early on the pandemic, I didn't even care about going to get vaccinated. It's irrational to get vaccinated after being infected. You will get an F in Biology if you write a test arguing this.
Would that not have been constructive dismissal? Which means the company would have had to pay up, big time (with the right lawyer, of course). People had options, isn't it their responsibility to find out for themselves?
The medical professionals claimed from the get go, from all the studies (before the vax was released) that within their cohorts the side effects were 'rare' - we all had access to the information and data. The medical professionals are still claiming most side effects are 'rare' from new and ongoing studies.
It's confusing here on ATS because sources are cherry picked for mRNA vax being the culprit, then now the non-mRNA being the culprit as well.
Is there one vax/viral database where we can find the truth?

They didn't have anymore of the safe and effective Pfizer vaccine and they had to go with that Astrazeneca one.
Nobody HAS to. You can walk out of a clinic for any reason provided your medical needs aren't life threatening.
But staff were said to have reassured them that the jab was safe and they went ahead with it.

'Jack and Alex asked staff at the vaccine clinic about the Pfizer alternative as they were aware of concerns around the use of Astra Zeneca for younger people.
'Alex and Jack were reassured by the staff at the centre that the vaccine was safe, and with no Pfizer doses available that day, they felt encouraged by vaccine staff to go ahead with what was on offer.

Is the AZ version pulled from the UK?
I can't find a source for that. Do you have one, please?
No plans for UK to order more supplies of AstraZeneca Covid vaccine
AstraZeneca vaccine: Denmark stops rollout completely.
Denmark has ceased giving the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine amid concerns about rare cases of blood clots, the first European country to do so fully

It's still early days in terms of adverse reactions showing up in populations and how to find the true causes. More research is needed, but perhaps different more all encompassing (existing comorbidities, autopsy data, DNA factors ...) research too.

I see. From your source these are the reasons why:
"It was a fantastic vaccine, and it still is a fantastic vaccine for the world … and the population which received AstraZeneca vaccines of course got very good protection from it,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Tuesday. “But the way that the taskforce has decided to purchase the vaccines, we are using mRNA vaccines now.”
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) confirmed to the Guardian that it had not placed further orders for the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, and said the decision was down to a recommendation by the JCVI that mRNA vaccines – such as the Pfizer or Moderna jabs – should primarily be used for boosters.
“The results of the Cov-Boost trial conducted during the summer of 2021 provided good evidence that mRNA vaccines are the most effective option for the UK’s booster programme,” a JCVI spokesperson said, noting that the jabs provided a very good immune response regardless of which vaccine was used for previous doses.
“Real-world data of vaccine effectiveness following the rollout of the booster programme support the results from the Cov-Boost trial,” they said."
Not because of what you said?

Because it's low cost?
Big Pharma don't like that.

Not for profit though. Read your own source, which I quoted.
