The astrazeneca vacimne was used widely and had benefits over the MRNA vaccine for distribution. The fact that it was superseded by other vaccines is indicative of the success of MRNA vaccines, not the failure of Astrazeneca.
April 26, 2021 - One hypothesis is that the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna) and those using adenoviruses (AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson) could induce synthesis of the COVID spike protein within platelets, which may then trigger autoimmune reactions against platelets,

That doesn't mean that the Astrazeneca vaccine didn't work or was unsafe it just means others were better.
You're just being dense. No wonder the same stuff gets repeated on here over and over. You're still ignoring the fact that the Australian government initially admitted that it was the increased risk and severity of Thrombosis back in June 2021 that made them decide to stop purchasing AZ and purchase more doses from Pfizer instead.
You failed to understand me when I said all vaccines have risks and I am being dense? They used another vaccine that had less risk. They made public recommendations to that affect and that makes you think they are now lying?
People die from taking antibiotics every year, maybe you agree with Asmode that we should ban antibiotics?
Strawman at the bottom of your reply.
Stop the vaccine apologetics and denialism of reality and stop defending the Pharmaceuticals.
The miracle of science was ditched back in April 2021 in Denmark. Then most other countries that used it have stopped using it a few months later. It took 2 years for Australia to do what they should have done long time ago.
Not the greatest success story. A vaccine that has been withdrawn pretty much from all countries thaits not have used it after 'rare adverse events'.
It's not a strawman, it's what you said on another thread and very relevant to your lack of understanding of risk. Please learn what a strawman actually is, you continually misuse it.

I think it's very telling that you now have to focus on a single make of vaccine.

Not really, they are all failures when it comes to clotting disorders. All known since 2021, but until everyone's stockpiles dwindle some more, they' won't publicly acknowledge it.

You have a strange definition of failure.
A man died of a blood clot that was a "direct result" of having the AstraZeneca Covid jab, a coroner said.
Jack Last, 27, from Stowmarket, was vaccinated on 30 March 2021 and a week later was admitted to hospital after experiencing headaches and sickness.

I thought it was pretty well established that anything that's hurting more than helping was a failure.
The vaccines were never and have never proven to be effective against Covid. My personal story about my daughter contracting Covid within 30 days of her vaccination was more proof of that (along with countless other stories from others). And then slowly, the vaccine was never proven to keep people out of the hospital or having less side effects.
In hindsight, the truth is, it was better to contract Covid and get over it naturally than getting vaccinated.

Only that isn't true.
Study after study, which you say you read, gad shown they are very effective against serious outcomes of covid.
Overall the benefits massively outweigh the risks.

European Countries Suspend Use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 Vaccine
AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine may cause unusual blood clots with low blood platelets and should be listed as a rare side effect, the European Medicines Agency said.

Yep! That's why the miracle of science the AZ vaccine was withdrawn in Australia just as in most countries that have used it.
It was 'safe and effective'

Australia switched to MRNA vaccines as they work better , as did the UK.

"Not even the hard line vaccine apologists and denialists of reality believe in your interpretations and ideas."
I am neither of those things, but I don't agree with your spin on this and believe that ScepticScot is simply presenting that which is actually accurate as to the reasons that the AZ vaccine has been largely discontinued in many countries ie because other vaccines had proven to be more effective as things moved on and the very rare but serious adverse reactions.

I said this:
"the very rare but serious adverse reactions."
So, there, I agree with you. But, only so far.
Very rare. Like the sad case of Jack Last.
Look, the real reason for the withdrawal of the AZ vaccine has been explained to you.
You dismiss anyone with a viewpoint that differs from yours as being "vaccine apologists and denialists of reality". Hundreds of times, now.
This makes any further attempts at a reasonable discussion pointless.
