In addition to Germany, Italy, France and Spain on Monday, other nations across Europe and worldwide have halted use of the AstraZeneca vaccine, one of the big three, because of possible blood clotting risks. Last week, Denmark became the first country to suspend implementation of the drug, with Norway, Iceland and Bulgaria following. So what is going on and why isn't this being reported in the U.S.
We have been told that these new vaccines are all made in a similar fashion, using the same techniques, so doesn't this mean that all the vaccines could potentially be harmful, by causing blood clots? Well we need to follow the science and so far we just haven't seen this reaction to the other drugs. But we have definitely skipped the normal trial process, to speed up the drug distribution, but who knows what has been missed in this sped up process.
The suspensions were not limited to Europe, with Indonesia also announcing a delay to its rollout of the AstraZeneca version, which is cheaper than its competitors and billed as the vaccination of choice for poorer nations. Why are the poor always the victims in these sorts of things. We must remember the lesser developed countries where the vaccine isn't free like it is in the U.S. [Mark 14:7]
