Coronavirus pandemic 2019-20 #3

The Russian Covid-19 vaccine has an even higher efficacy rate than previously reported in the Lancet journal, its developer has said after crunching infection data from the domestic immunization campaign.
Between December 2020 and March 2021, 3.8 million Russians received both shots of the Sputnik V vaccine, it’s maker, the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, reported on Monday. Of those, only 0.027% became infected with the disease, if counted starting from the 35th day after receiving the first injection. This compares to a 1.1% percent incidence rate among the unvaccinated adult population over the same period.

23 Apr, 2021.

A woman in Texas who was administered the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 shot is receiving medical treatment after exhibiting signs of potential blood clots, mirroring cases that prompted authorities to halt the vaccine’s use.
A spokesperson for the Texas Department of State Health Services said on Thursday that the agency had been notified about the case by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention, but was not provided with further details in order to protect the patient’s privacy.

The rollout of the J&J vaccine was paused earlier this month after six women between the ages of 18 and 48 developed blood clots after receiving the shot. However, hundreds of doses had already been administered in Texas before the authorities halted its use.

In the six reported cases, symptoms developed between six to 13 days after receiving the vaccine. One of the women died, while another was left in critical condition.

The incident comes as the CDC is set to meet on Friday to discuss whether it is safe to resume the rollout.

India should have substituted its critical imports a little earlier. Anyway there must be elsewhere they can source them from.

I made no comment as to whether the US was within its rights to do this as clearly it is. Whilst India is refusing to export 5M doses of the AZ that it should have shipped to the UK by now, so its a bit of the pot calling the kettle black here.

All I was trying to do was too, perhaps to subtly, point out that the action by one US Government department could very well sabotage the efforts of another, or the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Just go on the MHRA website and put in Yellow Card Scheme;
Astra Zeneka 548,495 adverse reactions and 627 deaths.
Pfizer 143,034 " " " 334 "
They also state that only about 10% of cases are being reported.

I live in Florida. I personally know three people who have lost loved ones to the jab 5-36 hours after getting it, all dead from heart attacks. I don’t know a single person who knows anyone here who was so much as hospitalized for the virus, though most of us have been told that we’ve had it due to the crap PCR test.

People know that others are dropping dead after taking that vaccine. Why they continue to take it puzzles me.

I know of 5 ppl that had Covid. 1 with astma - he told me that it was like a light flu. 1 had no taste and smell for 20 days, that is all. 1 an elderly woman had it, it was like a cold. 2 took the vaccine and got pneumonia and almost died, it was the Pfizer "vaccine" , both living healthy and doing sports since I know them, non smokers. The guy that had no smell and taste drinks and smokes like a champ. Just putting it out there. I do not want to argue. I am taking no vaccine. Me personaly last year I went to protests among thousands of ppl, I was on the seaside with a lot of ppl all this without a mask. For over 1 year now walking outside with no mask. I am taking no poison. For over 2000 years humanity has existed with viruses and no vaccines. We are not dead. This is natural evolution. Since we have antibiotics we have resistant bacteria. When will ppl realise that you only need to live healthy and not take any medications, only in the worst of cases. I never took antibiotics.

@Noturbusiness Notatall I know someone 92 who got covid, like a mild flu, doing great months later now. Yet I know a man whose 53 year old sister got the vaccine and died unexpectedly of a stroke.

@J OTowner It was a coworker, and I didn't hear whether they did an autopsy. She'd been in a coma after the stroke, with massive brain damage on one side. Very traumatic since they thought they'd have to decide to end life support, but she died before that point.

Australian government pushing for astrazaneca while people resisting it but health workers were forced to take it or lose their jobs. So much for democracy.

Yet in Australia & so many other nations the health authorities still claim these AstraZeneca vaccines are "safe", even forcing citizens to take it or face consequences like being able to hold a job, being able to travel.
Mind you, here in the west they also claim Putin is evil but forgot to look at themselves in the mirror....
Thanks for reporting on this RT as our corrupt media here is mostly silent about these issues, except when it's ramming the vaccine message daily

Even if the vaccine is 95% "Safe" as pfizer claim , is not consolation for anyone if a family member or loved one , ends being in the unlucky ones in the  5% left ,that gets serious lifetime illness or death.

Blaming India for expecting US companies to honour their contracts to sell materials to India is a bit rich, but then with bio labs all over the world I wonder why the US has been so badly caught out... isn't this something they should have been preparing for?

US ships in their waters, and cutting off supplies of needed medicines, I can see America is going to be a real ally to India in their war on China...
