Here’s the entire Article:
>May 7 (Reuters) – Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca (AZN.L), opens new tab is withdrawing its COVID-19 vaccine worldwide, the Telegraph reported on Tuesday.
The vaccine can no longer be used in the European Union after the company voluntarily withdrew its “marketing authorisation”, the report stated.
The application to withdraw the vaccine was made on March 5 and came into effect on May 7, according to the report, which added that similar applications would be made in the UK and other countries that had approved the vaccine, known as Vaxzevria, in the coming months.
AstraZeneca did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment after regular business hours.

My dad had a stroke after his first shot, then recovered. He went in for a booster and had another stroke and is now permanently all kinds of fucked up. It might not be that bad and it was timing but it’s kinda made me paranoid about Astra.

The fun thing is that research shows this – from the British Heart Foundation:
“for every 10 million people who are vaccinated with AstraZeneca, there are 66 extra cases of blood clots in the veins and seven extra cases of a rare type of blood clot in the brain. Infection with Covid-19 is estimated to cause 12,614 extra cases of blood clots in the veins and 20 cases of rare blood clots in the brain.”

I’m sure the public discourse about this move will be rational and evidence based…

Happy to say I participated in the AstraZeneca US trial in 2020/2021. It served its purpose and that was to save lives.
