Astrazeneca was suspended in eighteen countries across three continents. Nordic countries pulled Moderna.
"no harm"? really?
- wizofaus 4y agoNo significant number of people have died or suffered permanent harm from taking any covid vaccine that I'm aware of. Yes certain countries have at various times suspended distribution - the best explanation was concern that if any of these vaccines did end up killing people, it would destroy public trust to the point vaccination uptake would be massively reduced. But those very same vaccines are still being administered to 100s of millions of people. I think we'd know by now if they really were harmful.
- internet_user 4y agoFalse. We do know that they can cause harm. That's why they are either limited or outright banned for certain populations. Moderna remains banned in the Nordics for boys/men under 30. NHS does NOT give AZ boosters, only mRNA. NHS will not give AZ for those under 40, only mRNA.
