AstraZeneca pulls COVID-19 vaccine

According to media, opens new tab reports, the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker has previously admitted in court documents that the vaccine causes side-effects such as blood clots and low blood platelet counts.

The firm's application to withdraw the vaccine was made on March 5 and came into effect on May 7, according to the Telegraph, which first reported the development.

London-listed AstraZeneca began moving into respiratory syncytial virus vaccines and obesity drugs through several deals last year after a slowdown in growth as COVID-19 medicine sales declined.

They knew BEFORE the shot even came out it didn't work, caused death and irreparable harm! They did it anyway to make money. They should all be tried for crimes against humanity!

All of these companies should be shut down and have all their assets seized, including the CEO and directors, arrested with no bail, charges filed in every state by that States Attorney General. Then have a trial by their “peers” once a month for 50 months.

How important is it for pharmaceutical companies to diversify their research into other diseases after the decline in demand for COVID-19 vaccines?

Would you support the withdrawal of a vaccine if it saves lives by preventing further adverse effects, or should all vaccines remain available for personal choice?

Should drug companies focus on diseases with fewer treatments available instead of popular areas like COVID-19, even if it's less profitable?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

If a company admits to side effects like blood clots from a vaccine, does it change your trust in all vaccines, or just the one?

How would you feel if a vaccine you received was suddenly withdrawn due to safety concerns?
