It seems that AstraZenaca has become a scapegoat for Pharmaceutical companies, so people can say "oh it was just that one bad vaccine with one rare side effect."
Most likely a lot of medication you have taken in your live have a low probability to kill you. It's just virtually no other class of medication/vaccine has the same degree of monitoring in place so we can't even measure such rare events.
In comparison, back then I looked up the typical all cause death probability within a year for the age group 20-40 (in Germany) and it turns out, getting covid19 without vaccine increases that by 700%.
A relative increase of a very small number is still very small number. However, worse then astrazenaca and the 700% that's only death, there's a lot that is not deadly but still very bad.
The involved risks with astrazenaca makes taking it - compared to no vaccine at all - a no brainer in comparison.
Could you expand on this a bit? I don't think that AstraZeneca has suffered any reputational damage from this, it's an extremely rare event that took broad monitoring to even discover. 200 documented deaths in what are likely hundreds of millions of doses is the type of thing that speaks to a very robust medical monitoring system.

What do reference by the "it" here? There were 1.2 million COVID deaths in the US alone which seems like the most notable "it" to reference but it doesn't really fit with the rest of the sentence.
