"Of course you have to get vaccinated"
But Michel Drucker explains that he would "obviously" have accepted the AstraZeneca vaccine. “Between that and intubation, can you imagine?” He asks. The host of
Vivement dimanche is also
annoyed by the controversies around this vaccine validated by the European Medicines Agency (AEM). "I'm not going to get into a controversy, at the news channel trade café, we only hear that," he regrets.
The facilitator would like to remind that the risk of thrombosis due to this vaccine is not higher than the risks associated with most drugs. "AstraZeneca vaccine thrombosis statistics, what are they? It's peanuts!" He explains. "It's maybe 100 or 200 cases out of millions of people vaccinated around the world. That's almost the margin of error. Of course you have to get vaccinated." The AEM said last Friday that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine against Covid-19 increased with age and continued to outweigh the risks.
