Thanks for the answer. Well could you maybe be so friendly and point out one out of the tons of studys concerning the Pfizer vaccine?
I'm not your search engine, and I could never be as good as Google, but I'm feeling generous, so here is one.

I'm not sure what metric you use to quantify whether fear is overstated or not? On a scale from 1 to 10, what would you rate Indonesia's current level of fear, and what level do you think it should be?Following your words, the fear of covid in Indonesia is overstated. Only 20% of the population in Indonesia is above 50 years. Not many population at risk, especially if you are below 50 years.
And of course, the statistic is skewed. Many recovered covid cases die because they get blood clots mont-two later and get a fatal stroke or heart attack. So your friends have a high probability of dying in the next month or two, but nobody would record that as a covid, it will be a stroke, unless, of course, he has good post-covid treatment and regular blood checks.
When you share articles without vetting, then expect people to react to it. Especially on this website where we don't necessarily like being a platform for spreading falsehoods.
But we're always happy to have a constructive conversation or debate.

This is all correct, which took me by surprise...
You had your moments as well. I have to take as well your 1-hour virology internet course at WellesleyThis is all correct, which took me by surprise...
By the way, one of my friends also sent me this link. I gotta say it again, I can't judge this. Just maybe it is interesting for some of you to read and discuss it. The site is pretty "big", lots of stuff to read in general.(not only about adverse events)
It is also strange to see where we have come to in terms of discussion-culture. You post something and some people directly see you as some kind of enemy, because in this world there is probably more than one opinion about things (not only covid related).
What I observed in recent years and months seems like there are only two sides now: People who believe in any official or government position to a 1000% and enemys/conspiracy freaks that we can't talk to anymore.
Well, no matter what, there are a lot of bad developments going on in our society and this is just one.

COVID-19 AstraZeneca issues: Pfizer, Moderna are ‘preferred’ for second shot, U.S. travel problems may arise
National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) is now recommending that individuals who received a single dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine be given an mRNA vaccine, Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, for their second dose.www.yahoo.com

A small trial in Germany suggested that mixing Astra and Pfizer shots could trigger antibody responses almost four times higher than a two-dose course of the Pfizer vaccine.
Wow, 10 thousand versus 12 million, that's a great result for the vaccine! And of the 10,262, how many were hospitalized or died? They answered that too:Can you still get Covid if you're vaccinated? Yes, between Jan 1 and Apr 30, 10,262 breakthrough COVID cases occurred in 110 million vaccinated people in the US.
Over the same period, 12 million unvaccinated people in the US got Covid-19.
COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Infections Reported to CDC ...
COVID-19 vaccines are a critical tool for controlling the ongoing global pandemic.www.cdc.gov
995 (10%) patients were known to be hospitalized, and 160 (2%) patients died. Among the 995 hospitalized patients, 289 (29%) were asymptomatic or hospitalized for a reason unrelated to COVID-19. The median age of patients who died was 82 years (interquartile range = 71–89 years); 28 (18%) decedents were asymptomatic or died from a cause unrelated to COVID-19.

VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of possible health problems—also called “adverse events”—after vaccination. As an early warning system, VAERS cannot prove that a vaccine caused a problem. Specifically, a report to VAERS does not mean that a vaccine caused an adverse event. But VAERS can give CDC and FDA important information. If it looks as though a vaccine might be causing a problem, FDA and CDC will investigate further and take action if needed.
Anyone can submit a report to VAERS — healthcare professionals, vaccine manufacturers, and the general public. VAERS welcomes all reports, regardless of seriousness, and regardless of how likely the vaccine may have been to have caused the adverse event.

What will Indonesians mix? AZ with teh botol? The article says that the mixed shots lower the possibility of blood clots.
An mRNA vaccine is now preferred as the second dose for individuals who received a first dose of the AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD vaccine, based on emerging evidence of a potentially better immune response from this mixed vaccine schedule and to mitigate the potential risk of VITT".
NACI's previous recommendation - that people who wanted earlier vaccination could receive a viral vector vaccine rather than wait for an mRNA vaccine - reflected the limited supply of mRNA vaccines at the time and the imperative of protecting vulnerable populations from serious illness and death from COVID-19.
This recommendation was based on a public health benefit-risk analysis comparing the rates of VITT and the risk of COVID-19 while waiting for an mRNA vaccine.
NACI now recommends that an mRNA vaccine is preferred as a first dose unless an mRNA vaccine is inaccessible or there is a contraindication, for example, an allergy to an mRNA vaccine or its components.
NACI recommends a viral vector vaccine may be offered to individuals in the authorized age group when an mRNA vaccine is inaccessible or contraindicated, for example because of an allergy to an mRNA vaccine or its components.
AstraZeneca second dose 'good choice' despite federal guidance: B.C.'s top doctor
There is no wrong choice for a second COVID-19 vaccine dose despite recommendations from a federal panel that people who received Oxford-AstraZeneca first should choose Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna for a second shot, says British Columbia's top doctor.
Henry said anybody who received two doses of AstraZeneca can be assured they received a safe vaccine.
B.C. will not change its immunization advice, leaving the choice of which vaccine to get up to individuals, she said. Henry said people in B.C. can feel safe that picking AstraZeneca for their vaccine "was a good choice to make." "There's no wrong decision here," she said. "If you got two doses of AstraZeneca, you can rest assured you got a safe vaccine."

Overall, we rate Swiss Policy Research (SPR) a Moderate Conspiracy website based on the promotion of unproven claims. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sources and complete lack of transparency.
There is no need to choose? Sure.The Health Ministry expects the first Pfizer vaccines are to enter Indonesia in July, with around 5-10m doses for the first order.
The ministry spokesperson also tells the public that there is no need to choose vaccines, as they are equally safe and effective.
Kemenkes: Vaksin Covid-19 Pfizer Tiba di Indonesia Pertengahan Juli
Nadia mengatakan, jumlah dosis vaksin Pfizer yang akan didatangkan ke Indonesia dijadwalkan sebanyak 5-10 juta dosis vaksin.nasional.kompas.com
There is no need to choose? Sure.
Pfizer has about 95% efficacy while Sinovac is at around 65%. Something tells me that people with money will jockey to get the Pfizer vaccine.
