Germany, Italy, France suspend AstraZeneca shots amid safety fears, disrupting EU vaccinations

BERLIN/GENEVA (Reuters) - Germany, France and Italy said on Monday they would suspend AstraZeneca COVID-19 shots after several countries reported possible serious side-effects, but the World Health Organization (WHO) said there was no proven link and people should not panic.
Still, the decision by the European Union's three biggest countries to put inoculations with the AstraZeneca shot on hold threw the already struggling vaccination campaign in the 27-nation EU into disarray.
Denmark and Norway stopped giving the shot last week after reporting isolated cases of bleeding, blood clots and a low platelet count. Iceland and Bulgaria followed suit and Ireland and the Netherlands announced suspensions on Sunday.
Spain will stop using the vaccine for at least 15 days, Cadena Ser radio reported, citing unnamed sources.
The top WHO scientist reiterated on Monday that there have been no documented deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines.

No matter if it's Trump or Biden, the USA continue to behave like the international bully which they are:
This doesn't come directly from Biden. It comes from the Department of Health, and I'd lay odds that there are 45 appointees still in positing there still who are only interested in lining their pockets.
Or people of whichever party who are paid or otherwise influenced by Big Parma.
It makes no sense, given Biden's actions so far, that he'd discourage a legitimate vaccine.
People with stock in Prizer, Moderna, et al, however....

Welp, got shot #1 (Moderna) yesterday.

So far, my only side effect is the wet band-aid I was mildly surprised to find on my arm in the shower this morning. "Hey? What the .... oh, yeah, vaccine."

I just made my appointment to get the vaccine on Thursday. They indicated it will be the moderna vaccine. I may try the Pfizer for the second one just to see how they compare.

You're supposed to get the same kind of vaccine for both of your vaccinations. It should be written on your vaccination card too so they know which one to give you the second time.

Also, I am leary of trusting anything connected to the Russian Gov. on general principle.

And clicking through, well, that's a report from -last- year, so, well... nothing to do with Biden or his appointees.

Sorry about that I forgot to add the <sarcasm> tags.

Although, now that I think about it, I should also probably try the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as well. Once I have had all three then I will decide which one to go with. Also, I forget which one has the 5G chips that will allow me to talk to Bill Gates in my sleep, so better safe than sorry. I have a few theories about taxing arrogant rich people I need to share with him.

Edit to add: Finally figured out what cause to take up when I am able to get out of the house and interact with people with a slightly lessened fear of being killed. Saving the pandas by showing them porn.

Once you decide on which vaccine you prefer, can you have the others removed?

Also, the chips don't allow you to *talk* to Bill Gates. How much free time do you think he has? ...

On one hand, I'm beginning to feel a bit less tense in public, especially when seeing unmasked zealots that I know are refusing to be microchipped. On the other hand, Alabama's new infection rates, that dropped from 4k to 500 over the past three weeks, are currently climbing and averaging ~1.5k/day. Not sure how to feel.



edit: to clarify daily

FUUUUUUUU

A top Pfizer executive told shareholders the company is looking at a “significant opportunity” to raise the price of its Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

While addressing investors at the virtual Barclays Global Healthcare Conference last week, Pfizer CFO Frank D’Amelio noted they could raise prices when the virus becomes endemic, meaning it’s regularly found in clusters around the globe, according to a transcript of the conference posted on Pfizer’s website.

Are they not considering this, or are they counting on it because they'll be able to sell more vaccine when it does?
How much more evil does the latter make them over the former?

Trump Is Finally Encouraging Americans To Get Vaccinated
Former President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he recommended Americans get vaccinated against COVID-19. The push comes after the former president largely politicized efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus and refused to publicly commit to receiving the vaccine himself while in office.

“I would recommend it,” Trump said during a Fox News interview. “And I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly. But again, we have our freedoms and we have to live by that and I agree with that also. But it is a great vaccine. It is a safe vaccine and it is something that works.”
Maybe it'll help cut down on the number of moronic responses.
